Ringo App : Low-Cost International Call
Ringo lets you make phone calls to mobiles and landlines in other countries. Only you need to install the app on your smartphone. The other person can answer the call without installing Ringo, so you can call anyone who has a working phone connection.
Ringo is a well-designed app that checks your contacts and lists only those with an international number. This is a nice touch to ensure that you don't have to sift through a tonne of local contacts to find those you need to call. All you have to do is tap any of these contacts to request a call. Ringo says when a user from India contacts someone in the United Kingdom, the app automatically dials out a local call to the Indian user and another local call to the UK user and connects the two over reliable carrier circuits.

The mail asked us to get a recharge via the website to avoid this. We got ourselves a recharge from the website and can verify that you get credits worth Rs. 63 when you buy a $1 recharge.
Another additional charge that's not advertised anywhere is that missed calls are not free. If you request a call via Ringo, you get a call from Ringo and you wait until the other person answers the call. If the person doesn't answer the call, you pay for the minute or so that the attempted call lasted for anyway. As regular users of VoIP services would know, this is the case with other apps in this category (such as Skype) as well. With Ringo, this may set you back by a minor Rs. 1.08 if you're calling someone in the US; however, a missed call to Dubai will cost you Rs. 8.62 because the call rate for UAE is higher than that to the US.
The problem with free VOIP services such as Skype, FaceTime, and Facebook Messenger is that both speakers need to be connected to the Internet, and both need to be using the same chat app, and have connected to each other. Most of us have probably gone through the ritual of making a short phone call to get the other person to switch on their computer and log into Skype in order to talk, and Ringo takes that hassle out of the picture entirely.

Ringo credits
You need to buy Ringo credits to make phone calls, just like you get a prepaid recharge. This can be done within the Ringo app or from the website. When we tried to buy credits via Ringo's iPhone app, a pop-up informed us that we'd get Rs. 42 in Ringo credits (+ Rs. 18 first time purchase bonus) by paying Rs. 60. We bought a recharge via the app and got an email from Ringo stating that transactions made through the iPhone app are subject to 30 percent fees from Apple.The mail asked us to get a recharge via the website to avoid this.
