Poptox, Globfone, IevaPhone and Call2friends: what their free calls allow now

Poptox still lets you call from the browser without an account. Its home page says "No signup" and that no payment is required to try it out, and it invites you to sign up "to unlock unlimited calls".

The free calls are limited. In the FAQ archived from its site on 5 August 2026, Poptox wrote that it limits "the number and duration of free calls that can be made in a single day", and that it can offer free time-limited calls because some users pay for their international calls.

The paid side is a monthly subscription, not a per-minute rate. Its plans page lists three monthly plans, each with unlimited calls to a fixed list of countries, and says there are no per-call charges. That suits regular calls to the countries on your plan; for an occasional call it means paying for a whole month.

Globfone has moved to a new platform: the site now greets visitors with "Welcome to the New Globfone", and its old apps have been retired. Free calls still exist, but they need an account. Its FAQ says that to use free calls you have to create an account and complete a verification that includes confirming your email, verifying your phone number by SMS and adding a payment card. Globfone explains that for nearly 15 years it did not require registration, and that this led to abuse.

The free service runs on small credits that build up over time. You can top them up by watching a short advertisement, typically once every 24 hours, and Globfone warns that on expensive destinations, especially mobile numbers in some countries, a full daily boost may cover only a few seconds of conversation.

Globfone Premium is pay as you go: you top up in advance and pay for what you use, with no time limit beyond your balance. Its service status page also reports that since 16 July 2025 calls to certain countries have been unavailable because of account suspensions at its upstream providers, and that calls to some countries, including the US, Canada and Australia, have been fully restored, with limited slots for India.

IevaPhone is still a free dialer with no registration, but only to some countries. Its home page says it supports "only the main, most popular directions" and that you can always call the United States, India, Pakistan and the UK.

Free calls are counted per IP address and reset every 24 hours. The home page says that as a rule it gives 1-2 minutes of free talk; its FAQ speaks of 4 calls a day per IP address. The website itself has no paid calls: for those it points to its mobile apps.

Call2friends is mainly a paid service. Its home page says you pay only for the time you talk, with no connection fees and no hidden charges, and its terms say you can ask by email for a refund of unused credit.

Free calls are a side offer. Call2friends lists them for India, the USA, Pakistan and a few other countries, limits them by IP address to 1-2 calls a day in some areas and 1 in others, and says free calls go over cheaper, lower-quality routes than paid ones, so they can sound worse.

If one short call a day to a popular country is enough, these free tiers may do the job. If you need longer calls than the free limit or credit allows, a country outside their free lists or a call you can count on, you will usually be paying. The choice is then how: a monthly subscription (Poptox), credit topped up in advance (Globfone Premium, Call2friends) or another per-minute service.

Browzerphone is a per-minute service. It runs in a browser tab on a laptop or desktop, calls phone numbers in 216 countries and charges per minute from a prepaid balance, at the rates on its rates page; calling needs no subscription. Your first call of up to 60 seconds is free and needs no card; premium-rate numbers are not covered. It is not a free calling site: after that first minute every call is paid.
