Hi guys

Could anyone tell me what is the cheapest way to call Pakistan from KSA ?. Is there a way to make cheap international calls apart from Skype, Viber, Tango etc.

Something more like a proper phone to phone call.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi

On Skype you can purchase credit, and call landlines and mobiles.

Or use SmartVoIP.
The App 'MobileVoiP' has to be installed on phone.

Do the both the caller and recipient need to have this app, in order to make a call to an international landline?

Depends on where you call. SmartVoIP Rates are here: http://www.smartvoip.com/rates

Note: The OP asked about Pakistan and SmartVoIP has been the cheapest and a good quality service provider. It may not be the cheapest for other countries; for example for India people prefer 'Jumblo'.

MobileVoIP is a general App that you can be used with almost ANY VoIP service credit provider.

I too am interested to make phone calls to Pakistan.

I have downloaded the MobileVoip app, however it requires a username?

Do I create an account on SmartVoip?

Yup.

Using a browser:
Create an account @ smartvoip. You'll get a username and password.
Now log in and buy credit from smartvoip using your credit card, paypal etc.

Now, put that user id and password in your phone.

MovileVoIP does come for a Windows PC as well: http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us … ecb1ec2d6d
