A Skype alternative built for actual phone calls.
“I needed something that worked like Skype Out for calling banks and support lines overseas. Callshake was faster to start with and didn’t make me install anything.”
Callshake is the Skype alternative for people who used Skype to call real phone numbers, not just chat with other app users. You can call landlines and mobiles worldwide directly from your browser, whether you are contacting a bank, airline, embassy, hotel, healthcare provider, customer support line, family member, or business abroad.
The key difference is focus. Many Skype replacements are built around messaging, video meetings, or app-to-app calls. Callshake is built for the specific job Skype Out handled well: reaching normal phone numbers internationally, even when the person or company you are calling does not use the same app.
There is no software to install, no calling plan to commit to, and no local phone number required before you can start. Add credit, check the rate, enter the destination number, and call from any modern browser on desktop or mobile.
Global calls without limits.
Contact banks, support lines, government offices, or businesses abroad.
Need to make an important international call no matter where you are? Callshake works directly in your web browser on both desktop and mobile devices.
Quickly add calling credit with your card and connect instantly. Simple, secure, pay-as-you-go calling for those essential conversations anywhere in the world.
