Hello

Sorry if this question has already been asked. Please can anybody advice what are the best apps to use to call home?
I understand viber/what's app and imo is blocked here. I have tried Facebook messenger but the call kept dropping.

Many thanks

If iPhones are on both ends, I've not seen anything better than FaceTime.

By the way, imo isn't blocked as of yet.

I use Facebook Messenger a lot to and it is good, may be you should check the strength of you network signal. You should also try Line and [b]Tango, i use them quite often too. I don't like imo and viber i found both very annoying.
Good Luck

If you dont want to be annoyed and willing to pay a cheap rate calling home at say SR0.20 per minute then go for Zain Wifi calling.

You just need to send a zain sim back to your home country, insert that sim into an iphone and connect it to any wifi.

IMO is an evergreen option!

Also try Skype subscriptions for home country. The home country phone does not even need an internet connection, and the call quality is quite good.

Cheers!
