They don't do a thing
The call goes straight through the regular phone network. The person on the other end hears a normal ring and picks up. They don't need Wi-Fi, a smartphone, or an account.

Check rates & make a call
No enterprise contracts. Pay as you go.
Some people just answer the phone. (And that's okay).
Not everyone in your family has a smartphone. Not everyone lives in a place with reliable internet. Some people have had the exact same phone number for 30 years and it works perfectly fine, thank you very much.
The problem isn't their phone. The problem is trying to reach them.
Trying to teach an older relative to download an app, create an account, and connect to Wi-Fi just to say "hello" is a headache for everyone. But calling them directly through your mobile carrier? That costs an absolute fortune.
Talkala fixes both problems.

No lectures. No new habits on their side. Just a normal phone ringing in their house.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does the person I'm calling need the internet?
No. Talkala routes your call through traditional telephone networks (PSTN). The person you are calling receives a standard phone call on their landline or mobile phone. They do not need Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Do they know I am calling from a computer?
To the person receiving the call, it looks and sounds exactly like a normal international phone call.
Can I call landlines with Talkala?
Yes. Talkala is built for calling home phones, office landlines, and basic feature phones anywhere in the world.
How do I pay for the calls?
We use a simple pay-as-you-go system. You load a balance onto your Talkala account, and we deduct the cost per minute only when you actually make a call. No monthly fees, no hidden subscription traps.
