Easy Dialing – Low Rates – No Connection Fee

Iphone_3g_vert_pennytalk

With rates as low as 2¢ a minute to over 200 locations, you can call internationally for a fraction of what your mobile carrier might charge. There is no connection fee for calls made using the PennyTalk Mobile app.

With PennyTalk Mobile, a 20-minute call to a landline in the U.K. is just 40¢ (2¢ a minute). The same call with Verizon Wireless would cost $29.80 ($1.49 a minute on the standard non-plan rate). That’s nearly 98% savings with PennyTalk Mobile!

Do I need to enable international calling or have an international calling plan on my iPhone?

PennyTalk Mobile requires that you have a domestic calling plan -- if you can make calls within the U.S. with your iPhone, you can use PennyTalk Mobile. There is no need to have your cellular service provider enable your phone for international calling and no need to have an international calling plan.

How can I be sure I’m using PennyTalk Mobile for international calls -- and not my cellular calling plan?

There are several ways to tell whether you are calling with the PennyTalk Mobile app:

  • Once you launch the app you should see “PennyTalk Mobile” at the top of the keypad screen. The keypad itself has yellow number keys to distinguish it from the iPhone's standard keypad.
  • When you place a call by tapping a phone number from your Contacts (or by dialing an international phone number directly in the app keypad and tapping Call), you should see “PennyTalk Mobile” displayed on your iPhone screen as your call goes through.
  • As your call is being connected, you should hear the message "Thank you for using PennyTalk Mobile." This lets you know that the call is going over the IDT Global Network at PennyTalk’s low rates.

Please note that if you have ended your international call and would like to make another, you must launch the PennyTalk Mobile app again. If you allow PennyTalk Mobile to send you push notifications, once a call ends you'll be able to relaunch the app with a single tap.

Can PennyTalk Mobile be used for domestic calls?

Can I use PennyTalk Mobile outside of the U.S.?

We strongly recommend that you do not use the PennyTalk Mobile app when traveling outside the U.S. or U.S. territories.

If you make a call with PennyTalk Mobile when outside the U.S., the app will complete the call by using a U.S. access number. In this case, your mobile service provider will charge you for the cost of a call to the U.S. and will likely charge you an international roaming fee. In addition, PennyTalk will charge you for the cost of the PennyTalk Mobile call. You are responsible for all of these charges.

Does PennyTalk Mobile use airtime minutes?

Yes. PennyTalk calls use airtime minutes depending on your cellular service plan.

Back to top

If I use Save-orites from the PennyTalk Mobile app, will I pay a connection fee?

If you dial a Save-orites number or access a Save-orites Contact from the PennyTalk Mobile app, you will not pay a connection fee.

Back to top

Can I see my call history?

Yes. You can see your call history online in the PennyTalk Account Center. Login with the Account Number and PIN you chose when you got your free minutes or when you signed up for your PennyTalk account. Your account number is most likely your cellular number; it can be found on the Settings screen of the app.
