Notes to the calling account list
General Disclaimer
We do not warrant that all the information in the above list is 100% accurate. We have tried to establish the accuracy of the information via sources on the Internet, You Tube Videos where available, and FAQs. We have also downloaded and used some of the service apps featured. This is not an attempt to rate or rank.
Google Voice
We have included Google Voice, although there is some argument as to whether the Google Voice service is suitably independent of the Internet to be included. You would also first need a Google Account to use Google Voice. However, it is possible to secure a local access number through this service.
Other Information
This list is intended as a Guide Only. Full information about the services above and below should only be obtained from the providers of the Calling Account services listed. We have produced helpful links to the provider websites below for further information. Please do NOT ask us for any further details of any of the services listed as we are not in a position to provide them or to answer any operational queries
Providers Listed
In compiling this list, we have followed our own guidelines - 6 Things to Look Out For when choosing a Calling Account - so we have featured the Country (where the business is located or established), Years Trading, if a Secure Site, the availability of helpful videos and evidence of customer support where possible, and free apps to understand the service or product
Providers Omitted
We would be more than happy to update the list and to include any other telecom services or products that meet the general criteria for Calling Accounts and specifically the ability to make calls without the Internet being available, using local access numbers. Please use our Contact Form with details of any other Calling Account Provider.
Information Updated
The information contained in the list is accurate as far as we are aware as at March 2020. Apart from calling via local access numbers, many of the providers listed have many other features which need an internet connection including but not limited to VoiceMail, Free Calling, Private Numbers, Call Recording and Call Conferencing. You should check directly with the Provider websites.
