Do I need an app to call Switzerland from Portugal?

No. Sayfone is browser-based, so you can call directly from your web browser on any device—desktop, tablet, or mobile. No app download or installation required.

What's the time difference between Portugal and Switzerland?

Switzerland is one hour ahead of Portugal year-round. When it's 12 PM in Portugal, it's 1 PM in Switzerland. Both countries observe European daylight saving time on the same dates, so the hour difference remains constant.

How do I dial a Swiss number from Portugal?

Yes. Calls are billed per minute and rounded up to the nearest full minute. A 30-second call costs the same as a 1-minute call (32¢). Billing stops immediately when you disconnect.

Can I call Swiss mobiles from Portugal on Sayfone?

Yes. Swiss mobile numbers (typically starting with 07, 08, or 09) are charged at the same rate as landlines (32¢/min). The rate applies regardless of whether the recipient is using a landline or mobile.

Is my call secure when using Sayfone?

Sayfone uses encrypted connections to protect your calls. All calls route through secure infrastructure. Your call data and account information are protected according to standard privacy practices.

What if my call is disconnected?

Sayfone maintains connection stability, but if you're disconnected, you can immediately redial. You're only charged for the minutes you're actively connected; brief reconnection attempts don't incur additional charges beyond normal per-minute rates.
