Calling always has been an important tool since it was invented , because, people who, despite the distance by voice, can join again. When technology evolves also changes its entire environment and among those changes that it has driven enters, how to make calls.
Spain has entered the popularity of Internet calls , although not all operators allow this function, little by little there is more and more, providing this service. An Internet call greatly favors the user because it does not need to spend much, to be able to make them regardless of where they are.
Just as money is one of the important factors of a call over the Internet or Wi-Fi network, so also is communication stability regardless of whether the operator signal is not stable, because it only you need a constant signal emitted by router.

What methods exist to make free international calls?
There are many methods to make free calls nationally or internationally using your Internet connection.
Here are the best you can practice to achieve your goal:
Without using any application
Wi-Fi calls every day are discussed more, and this is because economically they are more feasible than any other method to call. Yoigo was one of the main operators that boosted this function on their devices, enabling it to activate and save costs.
This function is known as Wifi Calling , whose function is simple. We only need to connect our device with the Wi-Fi network and activate the function, which is advantageous since it allows us more coverage and communication because the signal emitted by Wi-Fi is sometimes more stable than that obtained by the device .
Lately, the telephone factories are including this function , but not all operators have evaluated and assimilated their use for what they do not allow from their operator. Although since the beginning of the reading we have told you only that you can make calls, you can also send and receive messages.
Although basically we can conclude that this is a service very similar to that offered by applications such as WhatsApp and Skype, but from our point of view, we tell you not to confuse it, because nothing else we have that downloading a package that takes up space on our device and not on the other, makes a lot of difference.
We do not need to add contacts back to a list, but because it is a function of the same device we use the same agenda that we have recorded on the phone .
Everything sounds beautiful, but unfortunately if the phone carries the function and the operator does not allow it, calls cannot be activated. There are also no downloadable apps for Android or iOS because it can only be allowed and installed in this way.
For now there are few phones that include this feature, such as:
- LG G3.
- G2.
- Optimus.
- Samsung Galaxy S6.
- Edge.
- Apple iPhone 6 Plus.
- 6, 5S and 5C.
- HTC One M9.
- Microsoft Lumia 640.
Through third-party apps
Phone calls through external applications to the phone , are very common today. Every day the apps that allow us to communicate regardless of distances with anyone grow, each clearly imposes its rules and conditions, but still they are still a good option.
One of the most used applications is WhatsApp , but like this one, many need both people to have the app installed on the devices to be able to establish a conversation.

There are also others that allow us to phone people without a package (app) that unites them, but we must pay a credit first.
Using VoLTE or VoWi-Fi technology
This is another way to make calls over the Internet. The function of this technology is relatively simple, we only need to be connected to a Wi-Fi or LTE network , and the app converts our voice into a series of computer packages until we reach the destination point
This tool compares a lot with WhatsApp or Gmail . It is only compatible with Smartphone with connections to LTE networks, in other words you must be able to connect or establish a 4G connection.
Although many phones already come with this integrated function , there are still a few that do not , so we will have to download the correct packages or softwares, in order to enjoy it.
The more advanced this technology the more devices are compatible with it . For now only the following are known:
- Huawei P9 and above.
- iPhone 6 and above.
- OnePlus One and above.
- Samsung S8 and above.
- Samsung J3, J5 and J7.
- Sony Xperia X, XZ, XZ Premium and above.
The one who first implemented in Spain this wonderful technology in its lines was Vodafone, following this Orange joined the event and finally Movistar.
VoIP or Internet calls
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the way to communicate with phone calls through the Internet protocol . Although this technology requires the installation of some packages or files, its installation is not a big problem.
Like VoLTE sends the voice in compressed files at a broadband speed . The speed and its breadth in range is something that benefits us a lot when we want to call other countries, and we only need an Internet connection so it is practically free.
Steps to make an international call from your computer or mobile without paying
In this section we will explain the steps you must follow to make an international call without paying anything.
Enabling WiFi calls
As we saw in the previous section, this function is not allowed on all devices . But if yours has it, follow these steps to activate it.
To start, we just need to click on “More settings ” (this may vary depending on the phone being used, as it varies by manufacturer).
Then we will have to see an option that says “Wi-Fi Calling ” (if it is not present, it is because our phone cannot allow us the function), and click on “ Activate ”.
It’s really not a big deal to be able to do this. After activating the Wi-Fi calls we look for the person we want to call, and call with this option.
With Google Voice
Calling by Google Voice is very good, but unfortunately you cannot make emergency calls, so if we want to make them, we have to use the phone with its default functions.
First we must go to the application icon, and look at the bottom for “calls” , if the person we are going to call is in the list of recent calls next to their name we select it .
We click on the “Call” option and choose one of the methods below:
- We type in the search bar, enter the person’s name or phone number, and select the registered contact that appears to us.
- We play the keypad and type the number.
With Whatsapp Messenger
By WhatsApp, we enter the application and look for the person that we are going to call and enter the Chat. In the upper left we will see two icons, one of a telephone, used to make voice calls and another with a camera, to make video calls.
When we select one of these icons it will start ringing the receiving phone , until it is answered. We can do the same to make group calls, we just have to enter the group directly and select the icon.
With Telegram
Telegram continues to evolve every day, so if we want to enjoy the Internet calling service we must have the latest update installed .
First we must enter the chat window and look for the “settings” that have three vertical points as their icon. From the options that appear we select “call” and establish a connection.
With Skype
To start we click on our contact list , there we look for the information we have about the person we want to call, and select the buttons (options) for the call.
The phone icon is for an audio-only call , and the one with a camera, is for making a video called . If we want to make a group call we just have to add another person.
List of the top 10 applications to make free international calls
As we have already mentioned, Many applications allow us to make free calls regardless of the distance that separates us from the person we want to communicate with, but for better communication, we need a good application.
Below we will show you a list of the best apps:
Skype
As we all know, this was the first to allow us to make international calls for free, where we can send audios or calls in sync.
At first this software was intended for use on computers, but later evolved supporting Android and other devices. We do not need to pay anything to download the application. Although the only requirement to establish communication is that both people (sender and receiver) have downloaded and installed the app.
Although if we want to communicate to a phone that does not have the application installed, we can pay Skype and this will allow us to call at a considerable price.
This service is constantly updated every day, making it an excellent tool. It allows us to make calls, and send audio, although the only disadvantage is that it does not allow us to communicate with people who do not have the app installed.
The service as such is completely free, although if we are not connected to a Wi-Fi network, we can consume a lot of mobile data. In the last update the function of video calls, and video group calls was added, allowing us to communicate with multiple people at the same time.
ooVoo
This is an application that, like WhatsApp, included among its update the option to call multiple people (Max 12) and a video called up to 4 people at the same time.
We can share with our contacts, files, record videos and upload YouTube videos , this being very advantageous. Another thing that we must add from this app is that if we are not connected in it, we can attend the msm or calls, because it allows us to attend them by Facebook.
If we need to call a number outside the contact list that cannot use any way to receive calls, we will have to pay a fairly low credit, for every minute of the call (landlines or cell phones).
Viber
