How to Make Calls with Localphone
Making cheap local or international calls with Localphone couldn’t be easier—call from your landline, mobile, or computer and start saving.
Get StartedAfter signing up for your free account you will be taken to your Localphone dashboard. From here you can use the “Quick Top-up” buttons in your sidebar to securely add calling credit. You can add any amount in whole $’s and you get to spend all it all on calling—we don’t charge any connection fees or service charges and we won’t expire your credit for the lifetime of your account.
Adding Your Numbers
By adding the landline and mobile numbers you will be calling from we can link the call back to your account. This means you won’t have to enter an account number or PIN every time you call, saving you time and money.
Once you have calling credit and have listed “Your Numbers” there are several ways to make a call. Please take a little time to read through the options below and choose the best method for you…
Localphone Direct - the best way to make international calls from your landline or mobile
We will give you a unique, local number to dial for each contact that will connect straight through. No account numbers, no PINs, and if nobody answers you won’t be charged.
In our example above if you wanted to call “Tom” in Pakistan you would simply dial the number shown in red and his phone would start to ring—it’s that simple. Localphone will charge you the rate shown, and because the access number is a normal landline you will only pay your operator local rates. Better yet, our access numbers should be included in your landline or mobile contract’s free minutes!
Localphone Calling Card - call from any phone, any time, and get the same great savings
If you need to make a call but haven’t added the number with Localphone Direct, just dial your local calling card access number and follow the simple prompts to call anywhere in the world.
Whether you’ve used calling cards before or not, the Localphone Calling Card is quick and easy to use. Just dial the access number given on your Localphone dashboard (see example) and follow the simple prompts to make your call.
When your call is finished either hang up or press 
to make another call.
Localphone VoIP - use your broadband internet connection to maximise savings
Make cheap international calls from your computer or laptop, or even use your existing landline phone with one of our Localphone adaptors. Get the same great savings wherever you are in the world.
By using your broadband connection you can get Localphone’s great rates wherever you are in the world, whether we have local access numbers in your area or not.
It’s free to upgrade to a VoIP account—just use the button in your Localphone Dashboard’s sidebar. Once upgraded you can choose between using a softphone to make calls from your computer, an ATA Adaptor which lets your normal landline phone make calls over the Internet, or a dedicated VoIP device such as a SIP phone.
Whichever option you choose we have a set of handy device guides to help you get started.
