Making free
calls to India from within India and from outside India is no more a
difficult task. There are several services that offer free calls from one app
to another, installed on smartphones, tabs or PCs. Other than that there are
also VoIP services that offer free calls of certain duration when you subscribe
to their monthly plans. Further, some offers or tricks keep coming where
companies offer totally free calls to India without the need
to subscribe to a paid plan. However, you may still need to input your credit
card details at the time of registration… Lets discuss these one by one.

The most reliable option that
I like the most is to use smartphone apps like Line, Skype, Fring, Talkonaut,
Nimbuzz etc and make calls from one smartphone to another using internet
connection. For this to succeed its important that both the call maker and call
receiver have smartphones with desired messenger app and internet activated in
their mobiles.
Methods of Making Free Calls to India by Non Resident Indians
If you are not living in India and want to make calls to Indian landline and mobile numbers from abroad, then first you must check if VoIP is allowed in your country of residence. In some countries it is illegal to make VoIP Calls. So, be careful.Totally Free Calls:
For making free
calls to India from overseas,you can use services of many VoIP and
calling card companies. Most of these companies provide free calls of limited
duration and may be advertisement supported. Remember these services are only
for people residing and calling from other countries like USA, Canada, Europe,
France, Australia etc.
