# Last Updated: 2026-03-27

## What CallSky Does

CallSky lets you call landlines and mobile phones in over 180 countries. No subscription. You buy credits, they never expire, and you pay only for the minutes you use. Rates start at $0.02 per minute.

The person you're calling doesn't need the app, an internet connection, or any special setup. You dial their regular phone number.

## How It Works

1. Sign up on the web app or download the iOS app
2. Buy a credit package ($5, $10, or $20)
3. Dial any international phone number
4. The call goes through premium carrier networks to their regular phone

Credits never expire. No monthly fees. No connection fees. The exact per-minute rate is shown before you place the call.
