The Localphone Blog

We’ve recently launched new and improved versions of our Mac and Windows desktop apps, so you can make cheap or free international calls and send SMSs straight from our Internet Phone! If you haven’t already downloaded the latest version, you can do so at http://www.localphone.com/dashboard/internet_phone.

The new versions have made the Internet Phone easier and quicker to use and the Windows app has been updated so there are less clicks to call.

Features of our desktop apps:

Dear Localphone Customers

The recent tax on international calls to Pakistan that caused a sharp rise in prices is currently being disputed in the Lahore High Court, but has yet to be definitively abolished.

We are keeping a close eye on the situation with our carriers, and as soon as they are able to reduce their prices we will pass these savings straight on to you. Find out more.

Thank you for your patience at this time.
