Diwali starts tomorrow, and for the six days of the festival Localphone will be offering discounted calls to India. If your total call duration over the promotion is more than 200 minutes you can get an effective rate of as low as 2.2p / 3.4¢ / 3c per minute.
After the festival is over we’ll look at how many minutes you used and will top up your calling credit according to the table on our Diwali Promotion page.
As we pass our first year in business we have looked at each and every country to see where we can afford to cut our rates, and the good news is we’ve found hundreds of destinations where we can save you even more money.
There are too many savings to list here, but a few of our more popular destinations include:
| Old Rate | New Rate | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Destination | GBP | USD | EUR | GBP | USD | EUR |
| Australia | 0.8p | 1.6¢ | 1.07c | 0.7p | 1¢ | 0.9c |
| India | 2.8p | 5¢ | 3.7c | 2.5p | 3.9¢ | 3.3c |
| Pakistan | 5.6p | 8.9¢ | 7.9c | 4.9p | 7.1¢ | 6.4c |
| Thailand | 0.89p | 1.5¢ | 1.19c | 0.8p | 1.2¢ | 1.1c |
Our new low rates are effective immediately, so please check our call rates or your dashboard to see if your tariff has been reduced.
With our latest round of price cuts we believe we have positioned ourselves as a true market leader balancing both quality and cost. Where a competitor advertises lower rates they are likely hiding the true cost of calling, or have sacrificed quality to achieve that price. Where a competitor’s rates are higher we do not believe they will offer the quality to justify the difference. As we continue to grow we will use our increased buying power to achieve even lower rates for our customers.
While reviewing our tariffs we also found a few destinations where we simply can’t continue to offer acceptable levels of quality and still turn a profit at the current rates. We’ll be e-mailing those affected shortly and will post notices on the Localphone site, before updating these rates early next week.
As the end of our first year in business approaches we have expanded our presence to even more countries and cities.
With today’s addition of 15 new locations you can now use our local access numbers in the 41 countries listed below:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Peru, Poland, Puerto Rico, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.
You can use Localphone’s VoIP service to make calls from anywhere in the world with a broadband Internet connection, and still get our same low rates: Localphone VoIP
As well as expanding the number of contacts you can add in many existing US cities, we’ve also added 80 new locations across 21 states…
If you’re travelling, work in a different area code, or just want to share your account with friends and family in a different city or country it’s easy to get a new list of local access numbers at any time. Just log in to your Localphone account and update “Your Location” in the dashboard sidebar. Your contact list display will be updated but dialling either the old or new access numbers will still call the same contact.
