On average, the app uses approximately 1MB/min for making a voice call. In order to benefit from the highest quality available, we advise you to use the application with a WiFi network. Any costs resulting from using the application with mobile data networks when you call internationally are not covered by us. 3. Which countries & operators support mobile top-ups?

A travel eSIM is a digital SIM card that allows you to access mobile data in other countries without needing a physical SIM. Instead of inserting a plastic card, you download a profile to your phone. It works by connecting your device to local mobile networks in your destination country, providing you with affordable data at more cost-effective rates than traditional international roaming.

Pingo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pingo has 882 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Pingo's written reviews are positive against 82% of AtomCall's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pingo ships an update monthly, AtomCall every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
