When to use a calling website
Common Scenarios
Internet calling is useful when traditional phone service is unavailable, expensive, or inconvenient. Businesses also use it for lead generation, sales outreach, and calling clients overseas without expensive international plans. Here are the most common situations where calling over the internet makes sense:
- 📵No phone plan or SIM: Call using only WiFi. Great for tablets or phones without service. See the call without SIM guide.
- 💻Calling from a computer: Make calls from your desk without picking up your phone. See the laptop calling guide.
- ✈️Traveling internationally: Skip roaming charges by using hotel WiFi. See the call abroad guide.
- 🔒Keep your number private: Internet calls show a different caller ID, not your personal number.
- 💰Lower rates: Pay a fraction of carrier prices. Check rates for your destination or compare with international calling cards.
Online calling vs traditional calls
Key Differences
Equipment: Traditional calls require a phone with an active cellular plan. Internet calls require only a microphone and an internet connection. You can call from a laptop, tablet, or a phone connected to WiFi with no SIM card.
Reach: Both methods can call any phone number. The difference is that internet calling lets you place calls from devices without cellular service.
Audio quality: On a stable internet connection, internet calls deliver HD audio that often sounds better than cellular calls. Quality depends on your connection stability rather than raw speed.
How call routing works: When you place an internet call, your voice is converted into data packets and sent through your internet connection to a VoIP provider like HelloAirDial. The provider then routes the call through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to reach the recipient's phone. This hybrid approach lets you call any phone number while benefiting from internet-based pricing.

Requirements for an internet phone call
What you need
- Internet connection: WiFi or mobile data with at least 100 kbps bandwidth. Stability matters more than speed.
- Modern browser: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge. Keep your browser updated for best results.
- Microphone: Built-in laptop microphones work fine. A headset improves audio quality and reduces echo. If you have issues, see our microphone troubleshooting guide.
