The Localphone Blog

Thanks to your continued support we’re pleased to announce even cheaper international calls to Bangladesh with Localphone.

Effective immediately calls to Bangladesh will be just 2.6p GBP / 3.9¢ USD / 3c EUR per minute to all landlines and mobiles. Don’t forget that with Localphone that low rate is giving you a direct digital connection to your friends and family for crystal clear call quality and unbeatable reliability.

Thanks to our recently launched Dial Online service your loved ones in Bangladesh can now sign up for accounts of their own and call you at our low rates.

Don’t forget to recommend Localphone to them via our website and you can earn 10% of their call credit whenever they top up.

We hope you enjoy the new low rates and look forward to announcing even more exciting new developments in the near future.

It’s here – our brand new, shiny website. We’ve given it a whole new-look, and have been working hard to make it easier for you to use. The site is more informative with some new and exciting features to help you get the most out of our services.

Check out the new stuff below:

• We’ve renamed Direct Dial to Local Numbers
  When you log in you’ll see the Local Numbers tab where you can add new contacts. If you can SMS to your Local Numbers we also now list the cost to text. You’ll only see this if your location is set to the UK or America.

• There are new logged-in tabs to help you discover our services
  Each section has got extra information in the form of a “learn more” link to help you understand how to use our services. Visit My Account to take a look.

• The VoIP page has changed to include a brand new desktop phone
  We’ve re-named the service to Internet Phone to make it a bit clearer for people who don’t know what VoIP is. We’ve also launched a brand new desktop phone that makes calling from your computer even easier.

• You can now click to call from our site
  Dial Online is another new service which lets you make an international call between two phones by clicking a button on our site.

• Log in using your Facebook Account
  You can now log in to Localphone using your Facebook account – it’s quick and it’s easy.

And that’s it! Head on over and look around.
And don’t worry if you miss something as there’s lots to see, but in the coming weeks we’ll write posts to remind you about some of the new features and services. Please be sure to tell us what you think of the new site. We’re keen to hear your feedback, so why not leave your comments here.

We’re very exited to announce the launch of our new desktop phone. It’s free to download and available for Windows, Linux or Mac users.

To start making cheap calls all you need is a microphone and a broadband connection.
