The new app has a number of new features including two modes of calling, which allows you to choose between WiFi/3G calls or local calls! Using the LOCAL calls mode means your calls will be made using a local number which connects to your international contact. You’ll pay our low rates plus your mobile provider’s local rates. These are usually included in your free minutes.
Tap the call mode button to switch to WiFi/3G mode and calls will be made using your Internet connection. You’ll save money by using this mode because all you’ll pay is our low call rate and there are no local charges. The app will use WiFi when available and will switch to 3G when you are out of range.

Our share functionality is another new feature we have added. You’ll get your referral bonus when you tell your friends about the app via email, SMS and social networks. You can also view your call and text history in the app as well as accessing our help centre and finding answers to frequently asked questions.

Make sure you download the Localphone iPhone app and remember to leave us a review in the App store. The app is currently available for customers in countries where we have access numbers. Visit our help section to find out if it is available in your country. We are working on making the app available in more countries and look forward to announcing updates in the future.

Buy an Incoming Number by 12 noon GMT 6th February and you’ll only have to pay the small monthly fee plus the price of the call. So, if you’re abroad your friends and family can call you for the price of a local call and you’ll pay for the international leg of the call.

If you are using a phone running Android, like the Nexus One, the HTC Hero, the Samsung Galaxy, to name but a few, this new flexible app lets you make very cheap international calls and texts to over 250 countries worldwide, with the added bonus of updating contacts and checking credit via your smartphone. The app uses the phone’s own dialer to make local calls that connect internationally, which means it won’t use up a customers data allowance.

“Android’s share in some of our key markets has sky-rocketed, with surveys indicating more than 40% of new smartphone sales in the UK and US going to Google’s mobile OS,” said Paul Cusack, Localphone’s founder and CEO. “Our customers have been crying out for an Android app so we are pleased to announce this new addition to our mobile lineup, and look forward to expanding to further platforms in the New Year.”

With call rates as low as 0.5¢ USD per minute, Localphone offer a very simple pay-as-you-go service, and with no hidden contracts or charges these rates look to be some of the cheapest on the market.

Sound good? Then all you need to do is create an online account at Localphone, and get started with a bonus free 5 minute call. Afterwards, you just add credit with the minimum top up being $1/£1/€1 or you can add as much or as little as you need with a variety of payment methods.. The credit doesn’t run out, you simply top up whenever you want to.

Another great service from Localphone

We’re offering these new low rates until the end of the year and prices will revert back on 3rd January 2012 at 12pm GMT. Don’t worry, you can still expect the same great call quality from us during this promotion.
