Common Questions from OFWs
Why don't WhatsApp calls work in UAE or Saudi?
Several Middle Eastern countries restrict VoIP apps such as WhatsApp and FaceTime under their telecom rules. Intercalling runs as a web service, so it connects with no VPN and still keeps your per minute cost low.
How do I reach a Philippine landline (PLDT)?
Enter 00 + 63 + Area Code + Number. To ring a Manila PLDT line, for instance, dial 00 63 2 8123 4567. Keep in mind the Manila area code is '2', written '02' within the country.
Can I call Philippine banks like BDO or BPI?
Absolutely. Intercalling is ideal for reaching landline and toll-free lines at banks, government offices such as DFA and OWWA, and airlines, the kind of numbers Messenger or WhatsApp simply cannot dial.
Are there any connection charges?
None. You are billed only for the minutes you actually talk, with no hidden connection fees and no daily subscription.
