Starting with Nubefone

^

What’s Nubefone?

Nubefone is an app that allows you to call anywhere in the world at the lowest prices.

Nubefone works with regular line calls, which means that you will not have to be online during the call, this way you will always be able to call with the best quality, at any time.

Nubefone uses a calling system named callback:

1. You dial a number or a contact from the app.
2. The app automatically connects to our servers, requesting your call.
3. The nearest nubefone’s server calls your phone.
4. Your phone rings and you pick the call.
5. Nubefone connects you with the person you are calling (you start listening to the calling tone).
6. Enjoy the conversation!

You will not have to wait until you reach your home or office WiFi, the experience is similar to a SIM call, only that is way cheaper.

Do I need internet data on my phone?

You don’t need to be online during the call.

The signal doesn’t travel through the internet, its like a regular call, which is why the quality is so high, without cuts or interferences.

The app only needs your mobile internet data to connect with the servers in the cloud and start the call (the same as sending a text message through WhatsApp), to continue with the call, you will not need internet data.

^

What is the difference between Nubefone and Skype?

The main difference is that Nubefone does not require internet mobile data to transmit your voice, it uses your phone’s line.

This way nubefone achieves the advantages of quality and availability of the regular phone calls while maintaining the unique internet’s low prices.

There are many users looking for alternatives to the regular phone calls high rates, they use Skype to save some money, but since Skype requires the usage of internet data, the calls are not as reliable.

Nubefone has been made to offer a reliable alternative for this users, since it does not require the usage of internet data, but at the same time maintains low rates on your phone calls.

^

Can I call to any phone?

Yes, you can call anywhere in the world, landline or cellphone.

How does Nubefone work

Traveling Abroad

However, there are situations in roaming when the incoming calls price is cheaper than outgoing calls, then Nubefone can help you saving money.

Consult your mobile phone provider’s roaming rates and conditions. If you want to know more about roaming, look up this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaming
