Frequently Asked Questions

How is the call cost calculated?

Call cost is calculated as: per-minute rate × number of minutes, plus any connection fee. PhoneTheWorld bills per minute rounded up — a 5-minute-15-second call is billed as 6 minutes. There are no connection fees. Kinvo charges a 5¢ connection fee per answered call but bills per second after the first minute. Traditional carriers typically charge $1.00+ per minute with no connection fee but require a monthly subscription.

Are the competitor rates in the calculator accurate?

PhoneTheWorld rates are real-time data from our database. Competitor rates are estimates based on typical markups over wholesale rates: Kinvo is typically 1.5x our rate, Skype was 1.2x, and Viber Out is approximately 0.65x (but requires an app and credits expire after 6 months). Traditional carrier rates are shown as $1.00/min, which is a conservative estimate — many carriers charge $2-$3/min for international calls.

Can I embed this calculator on my website?

Yes! This calculator is embeddable via iframe. Copy the embed code below and paste it into your website HTML. The widget is fully responsive and includes a "Powered by PhoneTheWorld" backlink. There is no cost — we just ask that you keep the backlink.

Does the calculator show mobile and landline rates?

Yes. Use the destination type toggle to switch between mobile and landline rates. Mobile rates are typically higher than landline rates for some destinations, especially in developing countries. Both rates are shown in real-time from our database of 195+ countries.

How accurate are the monthly cost estimates?

The monthly cost estimate multiplies the per-call cost by the number of calls per month you specify. This gives you a realistic estimate of your international calling spend. Adjust the "Calls per Month" slider to match your actual calling pattern for the most accurate estimate.
