Anything that comes with a low cost grabs out attention, be it a stock clearance sale or call rate plans. If we talk about low cost solution for international calls, the very first names that will come out would be Skype and Viber. But there is still a huge resentment among users for these services due to various reasons. Well the good news is that a ‘made in India’ product dubbed Ringo, which is an international calling app, will provide best-in-class call quality at costs lower than other popular calling apps. The app works upon a unique call flow and does not require Internet, Wi-Fi or data either; rather it uses regular phone lines. In terms of cost, convenience, simplicity and reliability it is unparalleled to any international calling apps available today.

How To Use Ringo To Make Low Cost International Calls?
To start using Ringo, begin with downloading the app from the Google Play Store, Apple iTunes or the Windows Phone marketplace. Having done that, create a Ringo account and go through the verification process (you will get an automated call.)
Ringo offers first call credit free of cost, so you can test their services. In our case we got a free credit of about 50 cents or Rs. 30. This credit can easily make a US or UK call for about 20-25 minutes! To make a additional calls you will need to transfer some balance (Rs 25 to Rs 250) to your Ringo wallet. Thankfully, you buy credits using credit card, debit card, paypal and even netbanking. Most other apps have a problem with this because they accept only credit cards!
calling is easy as well – Ringo app will find all your international contact and best part is that it will find which country it is from and accordingly show you the rates for that country next to the name, so you exactly know how much it is going to cost you! Users of the app can make international calls to landline or mobile numbers in US, China and Canada at Rs 1.08 per minute, Rs 2.24/min for Bangladesh and Rs 8.66/min for UAE.
Consumers in India currently spend over $2 billion annually in making international calls and Ringo is eyeing a large chunk of this market, though its revenue would be much low considering its cheap international calls.
