Calling abroad was a luxury option in the past. However, with the arrival of smartphones and new communication networks, the situation has changed. Governments have already started regulations for these connections. The latest example is that of the European Commission which has urged mobile operators to withdraw roaming, the reason that international calls were so expensive.
Companies have taken notice and are beginning to offer very competitive plans to travel abroad and stay connected by voice and data. T-Mobile And its simple choice plan is an example of how easy it is now to send a photo from Argentina or send a text message from Paris without worrying about the bill at the end of the month. But if you are one of those who has all their contacts in their favorite application, now you can also use your data to make IP voice calls.
In this article we are going to show you 3 of the applications that have included this function in their services:

This means that any user who uses this service will be able to make calls to other users, regardless of which country they are in and just by being connected to the network of networks, either through a data connection or a WiFi network.
FaceTime
Another option to make calls abroad or anywhere for free is through FaceTime, which has the disadvantage that only available on iOS devices, that is to say, on the iPhone or iPad.

Line
Finally we cannot fail to include in this list Line, an instant messaging service, which also allows us to make calls and which is a classic that all or almost all of us have used on occasion.
The way it works is identical to that of WhatsApp or other applications of this type and it is enough to search within the Line contact list and select the person we want to call to be able to call them, wherever they are without having to spend more.
These are just 3 of the many applications that we have available to make calls abroad, and that of course you can also use to make calls within your country.
