Horizon Talk is the ultimate application for low-cost Long Distance calls. This dialer simplifies the long-distance calling so nicely and still providing all the flexibility that you may need. No more pins to memorize, no access number to dial or phone numbers to remember or even any speed dial numbers. You can even use Horizon Talk to make local calls over your internet connection when you are running out of allowed minutes in your wireless plan. Horizon Talk provides you different calling methods to meet your wireless plan and calling needs. Calling methods include Local Access, Callback and Internet Calling. Horizon Talk also allows you to transfer your account balance to friends and family in over 110 countries around the globe on their cellular accounts. HOW IT WORKS You own cellular number is your account with Horizon Talk; you get a passcode in SMS message or a phone call to authenticate you. Default calling method is Local Access, when you dial a phone number or choose one from your contacts; dialer attaches this number to a local number on our servers and dials that number. (Your Wifi/Data internet connection will be used for this local number setup). This local number automatically connects the call to the long distance number you originally dialed. If you have chosen “Callback” as calling method; when you dial a number or choose one from your contacts, dialer will send this number to our servers and our server will send you a call back on your phone number and connect this call to the number you originally dialed. Last but not the least is the “Internet” calling which makes the call using Wifi/Data internet connection without using allocated minutes from your provider. Internet dialing is also the best choice while you are roaming out from your provider’s coverage and have an internet connection available to you. TRY IT FREE Yes Horizon Talk is free to download and we even set you up with a start-up credit to try the application and call quality. Once the free credit is finished you can easily recharge your account from our website.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Talkcoms at 4.4 against Horizon Talk's 3.8. Talkcoms also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 33%) and ratings volume (584 vs 14). Horizon Talk's advantage is update cadence (every 5 months vs every 27 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
