The Localphone Blog

We’re pleased to announce that we have added local access numbers in Dublin, Ireland. This means that customers in Ireland can now use our direct-dial and calling card services straight from their landline or mobile.

Get Started

What Does This Mean for Our Irish Customers?

Calling cards often use premium or national rate access numbers from which they get a kick-back, meaning they can keep their advertised per-minute rate deceptively low. Localphone access numbers are just normal local landlines, calls to which are often included as part of your landline or mobile contract’s free minutes! This is just one reason why Localphone is better than calling cards.

What About Everyone Else?

As of today, we have access numbers in Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Puerto Rico, Romania, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the USA.

If we don’t have local numbers in your country yet you can still make great savings by calling from your computer with the Localphone VoIP service. We’re always looking to expand into more countries, so if you’d like to see Localphone access numbers where you are let us know!

Many of our new customers are used to making international calls using pre-paid calling cards, and are surprised by how good Localphone’s prices are when calling abroad. The great thing about Localphone’s rates are that there are no hidden charges. Unlike calling cards we don’t charge you when you aren’t making calls, we don’t charge you a connection fee and with Localphone your credit is yours. Believe it or not, many calling cards expire after a few months, and your unused call credit is gone forever!

Now for the good news. You can use Localphone like a calling card, by simply dialling one of our 700+ access numbers and dialling your friends and family in any country in the world. You save money because of Localphone’s incredible international rates.

We’ve put together a page to compare calling cards to Localphone. We think you will agree that Localphone will save you money when calling abroad.
