If you're living abroad and have family and friends in Nigeria who you need to call often, I'm sure you often encounter many of the usual problems. There's often broken internet connections, extremely high phone bills and having to buy expensive calling cards to name but a few.

There are lots of companies out there that aim to make it much cheaper and easier for you to call abroad without needing to buy calling cards or a new SIM card. Localphone is one of these companies and lets you call abroad from your mobile, landline or computer all for the same cheap rate.

You can make free VoIP calls from your computer or you can make cheap local numbers calls from your mobile or landline. Once you've created your free account with Localphone you just add the contact you want to call. If you have a smartphone you can also do all this on their free app straight from your phone. You're then given a number to call that is local to you and it will connect to your friend abroad. Calls are from 0.4p per minute and there are no hidden fees, connection charges or catches, so it's much cheaper than using a traditional calling card and being charged connection fees.
