Do I need an app to call Romania with Sayfone?

No. Sayfone uses PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) routing, so calls work on any phone—landline or mobile—without requiring an app on either end. Your family in Romania doesn't need to download anything.

What's the difference between Sayfone and VoIP services?

Sayfone routes calls through traditional telephone networks (PSTN), not the internet. This means calls work reliably even if internet is slow or unavailable, and there's no latency or dropout issues common with VoIP.

Can I call Romania from any country?

Yes. Sayfone works from anywhere in the world. As long as you have a phone and a Sayfone account, you can call Romania at the same transparent rate.

Are there hidden fees or monthly minimums?

No. Sayfone charges only per minute at the rate shown ($0.08/min to Romania). There are no setup fees, monthly minimums, or surprise charges. You pay only for the minutes you use.

How do I handle time zone differences when calling Romania?

Romania is in Eastern European Time (EET/EEST). Plan calls during overlap hours—early morning in Europe aligns with evening in North America. Sayfone's affordable rates make it easier to call at convenient times without worrying about cost.
