ZippCall Reviews

Genuine stories from customers calling across the world. From emergency calls in Bali to keeping in touch with a 94-year-old mum in Australia.

ZippCall is the best service that I know. For many years I was using Skype and others to call my 94 year old mother. The only phone that she can answer is a "land line". So any ideas of WhatsApp, Messenger, Teams etc are irrelevant. When Skype stopped to become Teams I desperately looked for service which would enable me to keep in touch with my Mum. I am glad that I found ZippCall. As I spend a lot of time overseas on work, ZippCall is the only service that I use to keep in touch with my Mum in Australia and others if I need to call "land lines" especially. The service is so good and so cheap, it is embarrassing. Well done Josh.

Sean, ZippCall customer calling Australia from Bali

I used ZippCall when I was in Bali to help a friend in an emergency when they hurt their neck and needed to go to hospital. I signed up for ZippCall, added credit, and I was going within minutes. This allowed her to contact her insurance back home in Australia, and call her family to let them know they were okay. ZippCall, quite literally a life saver!

I moved from Japan to Switzerland 15 years ago, and staying in touch with family back home has always been important to me. I call my relatives in Japan regularly, and ZippCall has made that incredibly easy and affordable. The cost is surprisingly low for what you get, and the app is so straightforward that there is really nothing to figure out. It just works. What I appreciate most is the simplicity. No complicated setup, no hidden fees, just a reliable way to call anywhere in the world without spending much.

Jan Ranck, ZippCall customer calling Worldwide from Worldwide

I stumbled over ZippCall when looking via ChatGPT for alternatives after Skype left me in the lurch and it "saved my life" for both personal and business calls from all over the world as I am an itinerant master teacher. I chose ZippCall over a whole list of others for their rates and absence of app requirements and they proved to have excellent and fair service as well. From the get go Josh himself, a real person and not an AI, jumped in to improve their rates to Israel which is what I needed most. The best is that ZippCall has allowed me to reconnect by phone with those special friends here and there who choose to avoid email and cell phones. Thank you, Josh!

Competitive pricing and very helpful support team. Would definitely recommend. There was a bug that I reported and it was fixed in a couple of hours. Even more, they immediately reset my account balance to the initial value to cancel out charges from the failed calls and even gave me additional credit to test the new update. The issue is now resolved, and the app is working perfectly.

Mikio Yamada, ZippCall customer calling UK from Japan

I moved to Japan six years ago, and I use ZippCall when I need to call my life insurance or pension (or HMRC) back in the UK. Spending 20 minutes on hold is frustrating enough without it costing me a fortune, which it would if I used my regular phone. I like that I can use ZippCall straight from my browser rather than having to install a suspicious app, and I found that ZippCall could connect me to numbers that your competitors could not.

Excellent international calls

I'm an American living in the EU. Cheap audio and video calls with friends in the US are easy, even free — but with banks and insurance companies there's no alternative to 800 numbers. Standard phone plans here are a bargain for calls within the EU, but stiff charges kick in when you call the US, and with 800-number calls you can sometimes spend half an hour or more on hold. ZippCall has been the too-good-to-be-true answer. When I first signed on, ZippCall promised 5 cents a minute; it very quickly came down to 2 cents. $1.20 per hour. When I first signed on there was some problem that I can't quite remember now. There was an email address for customer service, but I was so hardened by experience that I'd given up expecting any real help. I gave it a try anyway and — to my amazement — within a few hours I had a personal reply from Josh himself. Not an irrelevant cut-and-paste from an FAQ page. He sorted it out. Five stars.

Dan & Jane Hoefflin, ZippCall customer calling England from California

We travel to England from California every year and stay in several different hotels all over the countryside. ZippCall is used to talk directly with each hotel to ensure that we get the room we desire and to provide any other information to make our stay enjoyable. In addition, we call our friends in the Isle of Wight both from home and when abroad. Without ZippCall, the cost to converse would be very expensive. ZippCall is an important part of our travel.

I use ZippCall for personal calls like connecting with family members, friends, and sometimes calling overseas customer support numbers. I usually call from Canada to the US, UK, and India. I chose ZippCall because it is easy to use, works from the browser, and has a simple UI. It has saved me money which I would have spent using traditional carriers, and it has allowed me to stay in touch with friends without using WhatsApp.

Approx. 6 months using Zippcall. Refreshingly all-round effective. Does exactly what it says on the tin. It works, period! ... consistently, simply, quickly, clearly & cheaply.

I used this in Laos when I was in a pickle and needed to call an airline to alter some flights. So straightforward and affordable. Great connection. Have continued to use it for calls abroad. Upfront rate explained no hidden costs.

David, ZippCall customer calling USA from Venezuela

I use ZippCall for personal matters, and I recently had to make a 50-minute call from Venezuela to my bank in the United States to resolve an urgent issue. What surprised me the most was the reliability. Throughout the entire call the audio clarity remained excellent, with no drops or lag. Even better was the price. The whole call cost me just $1. Compared to other international calling options, the savings are incredible. I would recommend ZippCall without hesitation to anyone who needs a professional, affordable connection, no matter where they are in the world.

I was using Skype and I ported my number over to Twilio but I am having a heck of a time getting it working on a really low-cost or free service. I found ZippCall because I need to make calls to the United States. I am living in Romania and mostly to my bank and things like that but occasionally I need to make some calls to a landline. Without Skype, ZippCall has been my savior. The price is extremely competitive and low and it is very easy to add credits. I am very happy with ZippCall.

Martin Dick, ZippCall customer calling Germany from Thailand

I use ZippCall mainly for personal calls from Thailand to Germany. My family in Germany does not have a smartphone or internet at home, so internet-based services like Skype or WhatsApp are not an option for us. That is when I started looking for a better solution and I found ZippCall. Since then, it has made a big difference for me. The call quality is stable, the connection is reliable, and the rates are very fair. I also find it very convenient that topping up credit is simple and quick. In addition, I use ZippCall to contact authorities and official offices in Germany. For these kinds of calls, you cannot rely on internet services, so having a dependable calling solution is extremely important. Overall, I am very satisfied with the service and happy to recommend it.

Chinemerem Nwuzor, ZippCall customer calling Nigeria from UK

I use ZippCall for personal international calls, mainly to reach my siblings in Nigeria from the UK. I may not call very often, but whenever there is an urgent need, ZippCall has been a real help. I tried other options before, but they were not as reliable in terms of cost and call quality. What made ZippCall stand out for me is the cheap international rates, speedy connection, and clear voice quality during calls. It has made it easier to stay reachable when it matters most.

I found Zippcall and have been very satisfied. It's reliable, inexpensive, and very easy to use. I'd highly recommend trying this great application if you make international calls as I do.

My experience has been very good and smooth. Calling Africa from India, the call quality was clear and I did not face any major issues like call drops or disturbances. One of the best things I noticed was the stability of the connection. Calls connected quickly, and the voice clarity made communication easy and comfortable. I make international calls regularly to stay connected with friends and family, and having a reliable service makes a big difference.

Nayem Hossen, ZippCall customer calling UK from Bangladesh

I mainly use ZippCall for business purposes. I work as a Virtual Assistant for a UK-based client, and I regularly make international calls from Bangladesh to freelancers and service providers in the UK and other countries. I chose ZippCall because it is simple, reliable, and very cost-effective compared to other options I have tried. It has made communication much smoother and more efficient for my work, especially when coordinating across different time zones and teams. Returning credit for such a small issue was honestly a pleasant surprise that showed great customer care, and I am really happy I chose ZippCall.

ZippCall is undeniably integral as the only replacement for Skype after it was shut down by Microsoft. I scoured the internet for similar replacements until I discovered ZippCall and have been using it with great success for many months. Other services which offer various VOIP laptop services demand a U.S. phone for verification to submit payment. ZippCall so wonderfully accepts debit cards without any hoops and demands, just simple payment, get on the browser and phone away. The owner of ZippCall, Josh, is extremely prompt in replying to any questions which provides a very positive environment for this kind of transactional business environment. This is literally the one-and-only service in which I can travel and not have to pay for a U.S. based phone service for OTP or 2-factor verification, which all other VOIP services of similar structure demand.

Very happy with this app. It works seamlessly & has been reliable every time I've used it. I've used it in Asia & Europe to call North America, as well as from North America to call Europe, and I've experienced excellent call quality with no dropped calls.

Catherine Campion, ZippCall customer calling Ireland from USA

I rarely need to place international calls that I cannot make on WhatsApp, but I needed to call my bank in Ireland, several times. T-Mobile charges $3 a minute for this. Found out about ZippCall on Reddit, and it was a low-cost solution at one tenth of the price. Sending my big sister your way today.

In the entertainment industry you're rarely in one place for long, and I needed a way to stay on top of things back at the office while managing events abroad. The feature that sold me was being able to set my UK number as the Caller ID, so whoever I'm calling back sees the same familiar number regardless of where I am. My team passes on anything that needs following up, I call from wherever I happen to be, and no one's any the wiser. The rates are genuinely cheap, there's no contract, and I only pay for what I actually use. Really glad I found it.

I struggled to find an app that allowed me to make cheap calls back home after I left the UK. Having to spend 10-20 minutes on calls to banks on international calling charges was a nightmare.... a friend recommended this app and it's been brilliant!! it's an absolute lifesaver. Excellent call quality. No hidden fees. No forced subscriptions. You get your first call free and then you add credit. It works and is great!!

Really useful. I keep it for cases when I need to contact a customer abroad and cannot reach them in any form but by phone. I've been using it for half a year now. Rates are fantastic, and pennies go a long way. Thank you.

Minnie Roh, ZippCall customer calling USA from South Africa

We live overseas but still maintain our life in the US. We are paid through a US bank, have US-based health insurance, and regularly need to speak to agents in person — and when you're overseas, it's always an international call, even to an 800 number. Previously we would just suck it up and call as needed, but 800 number agents are not the best at speedy resolutions and we racked up a hefty phone bill. I stumbled upon ZippCall while browsing for "cheap ways to call internationally" and deposited $5 as a test. It was the best $5 I have ever spent. The calls were crystal clear, very rarely dropped, and with most calls at 2 cents a minute I could call for an hour and spend just over a dollar. Thank you ZippCall for saving my wallet.

I use ZippCall mainly for both personal and business calls. Personally, I stay connected with family members abroad, and for business, I regularly communicate with clients and partners in different countries. I chose ZippCall because it is simple to use and much more cost-effective compared to other calling options I have tried. The call quality has been reliable, which is very important for my business communication. It has definitely helped me save money while making international communication much easier and more convenient.

Running ProSweep Devon Ltd, I'm constantly dealing with customer enquiries, even when I'm supposed to be taking a break. ZippCall has turned out to be one of those rare services that actually does exactly what it promises, and does it well. The cost is incredibly low, there's no contract or tie-in, and I can use it whenever I need without feeling locked into anything. For a small business, that flexibility is priceless. The feature that really sold it for me is the ability to display my UK business number when calling customers. Even if I'm sat by a pool abroad, the person on the other end sees my Devon office number. It means I can return calls left on my answering service and keep everything looking professional and consistent. ZippCall lets me make calls from anywhere in the world while appearing to be in the office, and it works flawlessly. It's cheap, reliable, and ideal for any business owner who needs to stay connected without giving away that they're miles from home. A genuinely brilliant service that's made my life a lot easier.
