Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use MakeCalls.online instead of WhatsApp for all my calls?

Not quite - they serve different purposes. WhatsApp is great for casual calls with friends who have the app. MakeCalls.online is better for calling businesses, landlines, or anyone without WhatsApp. Many users keep both - WhatsApp for personal video calls, MakeCalls.online for everything else.

Does the person I'm calling need to download anything?

With MakeCalls.online? No. You call their regular phone number and they answer like any normal call. With WhatsApp? Yes - they must have WhatsApp installed and be connected to the internet.

Which is cheaper - WhatsApp or MakeCalls.online?

WhatsApp calls are "free" but both sides pay for internet data (can be $5-15/month in data charges). MakeCalls.online charges per minute (from $0.02/min) but only you pay - the receiver pays nothing. For light usage, MakeCalls.online is often cheaper overall.

Can I call international numbers with MakeCalls.online?

Yes! MakeCalls.online supports 240+ countries at competitive rates. Call anywhere in the world from your browser - no apps, no subscriptions, just transparent per-minute pricing.

What if I'm calling someone who does have WhatsApp?

If you both have WhatsApp and good internet, WhatsApp is a fine free option. But if you need to record the call, call their landline, or they have poor internet, use MakeCalls.online to call their regular number instead.

Do I need to install an app to use MakeCalls.online?

No! That's the beauty of it. Just open your browser, go to makecalls.online, and start calling. We have optional mobile apps for iOS and Android if you prefer, but they're not required.

Can I get my own phone number with MakeCalls.online?

Yes! Purchase phone numbers in 12 countries (US, Canada, UK, Australia, and more) for just $1.15/month. You'll get 25% off all call rates AND be able to receive incoming calls. WhatsApp doesn't offer this feature.

Is the call quality as good as WhatsApp?

Yes! MakeCalls.online uses HD voice technology for crystal-clear quality. Since we're calling regular phone networks, quality is consistent and doesn't depend on the receiver's internet connection like WhatsApp does.
