Why is PSTN calling better than internet apps?

PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) calls route through traditional phone infrastructure, so they work reliably even if the recipient doesn't have internet or a specific app. No setup required on their end—just a regular phone.

What if I'm calling from a country with internet restrictions?

Sayfone's PSTN routing means you're not dependent on app-based calling or VPNs. As long as you can dial a number, you can reach Ireland. For specific restrictions in your location, see our calling-restrictions guide.

Can I call Irish mobiles, or only landlines?

You can call both Irish landlines and mobile numbers. Simply dial +353 followed by the local number (without the leading 0 used domestically in Ireland).

Are there any hidden fees or minimum monthly charges?

No. Sayfone charges only per minute at $0.16/min to Ireland. No monthly minimums, no setup fees, no hidden charges. You pay only for the calls you make.
