Ringo makes Local/STD calls cheaper

After breaking ground in the international calling space, Ringo, the low-cost calling app, has introduced local calling in India. With the app, Ringo users can call any landline or mobile in the country at a flat rate of 19P/min, without any additional charges like roaming, STD or top-up cards. Unlike other VOIP apps in the market, Ringo uses telephone networks instead of phone data or the Internet for a phone call, and thus offers superior calling experience, without any call drops.

Intending to revolutionize the domestic calling space in the Indian telecom market with this launch, Bhavin Turakhia, CEO & Founder, Ringo, said, "Our vision has been to make calling across the globe simple, seamless and low cost for the masses. Our local calling service is not only the cheapest in India right now, but it is also free of typical telecom-related hassles such as STD charges and differential pricing. In a country where 3G penetration is not fairly high throughout, we also have a strong edge over Internet telephony apps, as Ringo calls do not use data, and are comparable in price."

Commenting on the future plans for Ringo, Bhavin, CEO, Directi, said,  "Our aim is to become a smart, one-stop calling solution for people across the globe, and local calling in India is certainly our biggest step in that direction."

Additionally, Ringo also comes with transparent and easy-to-read itemized bills, and makes earning free credits possible by downloading other apps from its Offers section.
