24 alternatives to I built an international calling platform for the past 6 months
I built Voklit because I was tired of paying $2+/min to call banks and airlines overseas. Needed a US number that works anywhere with actual affordable rates. It's a web-based VoIP service (mobile apps coming soon). You get a real US phone number, pay-as-you-go minutes on top of a small subscription that covers the infrastructure. Bootstrapped, solo founder. Built with [Go/Next.js/ and Websockets] if anyone's curious about the stack. Adding more countries soon. Happy to answer questions or hear feedback.
Voklit is an international calling platform developed over six months of work. It enables users to make calls across borders.

I built something, it's nice, it's an international calling app, it has faces behind it, no shady rates, no shady spams, built with love, really. It works on iOS/Android and Web. And the best thing about it? It's cheap, if you want to give it a whirl, and let me know what you think. p.s: Non-agentic means no AI has been shipped into it at all.

ZippCall▲136You may have heard Microsoft is closing down Skype in a month: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43202052#43202881 As someone originally from the UK who spends a significant amount of time in Morocco, I constantly faced the challenge of making affordable and straightforward calls back home, especially to essential services like my bank or credit card company - Skype always made it easier for me with their outgoing to calls to a regular phone number. I used Skype 2/3 times a week. When I heard they were closing down, and saw a post by @levelsio on X, I put my head to…

Hi HN, As a weekend project, I hacked together a physical phone, a Raspberry Pi running Asterisk and Twilio, to let toddlers safely make international calls. I’ve documented the setup in this write-up and published the code + Ansible playbooks on GitHub so others can replicate it. I built this so kids of expats can easily stay in touch with family on other continents. Would love feedback from anyone who’s worked on something similar or tries building this themselves! writeup: https://wip.tf/posts/telefonefix-building-babys-first-intern... github repos: -…

Hi All ,I been working on my idea , A Voice CRM solution for 2 years.When I started brainstorming the idea the only option I have to receive phone calls thru browser was a flash widget or use 3rd party providers like Twilio or Phono . Thanks to WebRTC we now integrated our VoIP services to receive and make calls directly thru browser .Please have a look and give us your feedback .Thanks Voz.io Team .

Callzo▲6Every time I land at an international airport, first thing I want to do is call home. Just to say I'm here, I'm safe. But my family isn't always online on WhatsApp. And calling normally from a foreign SIM costs a lot for an international number. I built Callzo for that. Nothing like rocket science or latest AI buzz. Open a browser, call any number, done. Tried it on my Japan trip. Called home when I landed. On the way back, a friend wanted me to check iPhone prices at the airport — called him through Callzo while I had Japan's internet running. Whole trip, I didn't even use 10 minutes.…

Hi HN, I built Jetcaller (https://jetcaller.com ), a simple web app for making international calls directly from the browser — no installs or SIM. Built it after getting tired of clunky international calling setups while working remotely. I intentionally kept it minimal and shipped early instead of overbuilding. It’s live and very early. Would love feedback on usefulness, or anything that feels unnecessary. Happy to answer questions. — Sankar

ThunderPhone▲104Hi folks, my partner and I just finished the MVP of a no-code AI phone automation tool called ThunderPhone. I'd love to get your thoughts. We've worked on a few phone AI projects recently, and have had a couple of persistent frustrations with tools like Retell, Vapi, etc. - namely that they're quite complicated to set up, and pretty pricy, around 10 cents a minute. After kicking the idea around for a while, we finally decided to go for it and build this. ThunderPhone costs 2 cents a minute for inbound and outbound calls, telephony charges included. It also handles a variety of integrations…

I build a skype clone, where you can make international calls via browser. Skype was my go to app for that, but since they shut it down, decided to build my own. Its perfect for calling international customer support, or any other gov numbers. Its pay-as-you-go - so no subscription charges, very transparent pricing. You can just top up $5 and see pricing in real time during the call.

CallSky.io▲16I built CallSky as a simple alternative for international calling after Microsoft shut down Skype earlier this month. The app lets you make calls to landlines and cell phones worldwide starting at $0.01/minute with a pay-as-you-go model. I noticed that while Teams replaced Skype's video/chat conferencing, it doesn't offer the same affordable PSTN calling that many people relied on. WhatsApp and other messaging apps don't solve this - whether you're an expat calling the IRS for taxes, reaching elderly family members who don't use smartphones, or contacting people in areas with…

I initially released this as just an IOS app. Since then it has been growing steadily but a lot of people have emailed asking for a web / android version. It took me nearly 2 months to build a version for the web. The nice thing about using Convex as my backend is that all the data is always synced between the app and web. I do not have to setup any syncing logic. The moment you change something in the app, it will reflect on the web version in realtime. I know there are loads of these kind of tools online but it's starting to feel like mine is actually starting to differentiate itself…

Hi folks, Alex here with a launch I’m hoping for some feedback on! I recently finished what started as a hackathon-style project with a friend, which has now become TranslateMyCall.com. The problem we set out to solve is that there’s currently no way to interpret phone calls between languages without a human in the loop. Apps like Google Translate work well for in-person conversations, and Skype (surprising, right?) is the best I’ve found for VoIP interpreting. But for traditional phone calls, your only option is paying $1 to $4 per minute for a human interpreter through a service like…
