About GoldyPhone

GoldyPhone is a browser-based calling service for international calls. You open the site, enter a number with its country code on an on-screen dial pad, and call mobile phones, landlines or institutions in other countries without a SIM card or a separate app.

Getting started takes three steps: sign up with only an email address (no phone verification), add credits, and call. Billing is pay as you go, so you are charged only for the minutes you use, with no subscription or recurring fee. The interface includes call history, a rates page and a settings area, and the site says calls are routed through a secure system.

It suits people who need to reach numbers abroad from a laptop or any device with a browser, without keeping a phone plan or installing software for it. It is a hosted commercial service, and rates are published on the site so you can check the cost of a destination before adding credit.
