Questions

Do I need to install an app?

No. DanaTel works in the web browser you already have, on your phone or computer. Sign in, type the number and press Call. On a phone you can add DanaTel to your home screen so it opens like an app, but you don't have to.

How much does it cost?

Each country has a price per minute, shown on our rates page and in the dialer before you call. Some countries also have a small fee per connected call, shown next to the rate. There's no sign-up fee, subscription or monthly charge: you buy credit and it's used as you call.

Which countries can I call?

Mobiles and landlines in Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, the UAE and the US. Each country's price is on our rates page, and the dialer shows it as you type the number.

Don't see your country? Type the number in the dialer and tap Request it, and we'll email you when we add it.

How is billing calculated?

Calls are billed in 6-second steps: the call length is rounded up to the next 6 seconds, not the next minute, then multiplied by the country's per-minute rate, plus its connection fee if it has one. For example, a call of 2 minutes 3 seconds is billed as 2.1 minutes. The dialer shows the cost so far while you talk.

Are unanswered calls charged?

No. If nobody answers, the line is busy or the call can't connect, you pay nothing, connection fee included.

What is the minimum top-up?

£5. You can top up £5, £10 or £20 at a time.

Can I use DanaTel on my phone?

Yes. Open danatel.net in Safari on an iPhone or Chrome on Android, sign in and call. Calls use your Wi-Fi or mobile data, not your phone plan's minutes. Keep the DanaTel page open during the call.

Can I call mobiles and landlines?

Yes. You can call mobile and landline numbers in every country we cover, at the same per-minute rate. DanaTel can't be used to call emergency services.

How does microphone permission work?

The first time you press Call, your browser asks whether DanaTel can use your microphone. Choose Allow, otherwise the person you call can't hear you. If you blocked it by mistake, open your browser's site settings for danatel.net, allow the microphone and reload the page.
