# 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. ## Customer Experiences ### Andrew Frequent Traveller · Australia Feb 2026 > “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.” ### Mikio Yamada Expat · Japan Feb 2026 > “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.” ### Martin Dick Expat · Thailand Feb 2026 > “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.” ### Kevin Digital Nomad · Romania Mar 2026 > “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.” ### Minnie Roh US expat · South Africa Mar 2026 > “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.” ### Quentin Board Business owner [prosweepdevon.co.uk](https://www.prosweepdevon.co.uk/) Mar 2026 > “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.” ### Yuki Expat · Switzerland Mar 2026 > “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.” ### Ibrahim Yaqub Feb 2026 > “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.” ### Mohammad Arif India Mar 2026 > “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.” ### Jan Ranck Itinerant Master Teacher · Worldwide Mar 2026 > “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!” ### Nikhil Sharma Feb 2026 > “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.” ## Summary ZippCall has resonated positively with users around the globe for its reliability, affordability, and user-friendly interface.
