- Japan to overseas (international calls): for over 60 countries, 1 yen/3 seconds (calls to other countries are also affordable).

■ Differences between other free calling apps and TELINK050 apps

Call any combination of domestic, overseas, landline, and mobile numbers. (Some exceptions apply, including toll-free numbers.) Enjoy low-cost calls regardless of the call receiver's carrier, situation, or location.
