How to make cheap international calls

The end of roaming in Africa is a reality. This implies that we can travel to other countries and make use of our national rate without surcharges in the same way as if we were in Nigeria. For a long time, this has been an objective of the European Union. However, international calls between countries remain very expensive and there seems to be little willingness to put an end to it. Luckily, we are going to tell you how to make cheap international calls using the Otubio calling app.

Roaming in the African Economic Area allows us to use the rate we have contracted when traveling to other countries in Europe such as Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland (including the Aland Islands), France (including Martinique , Guadeloupe, Saint Martin, French Guyana, Reunion and Mayotte), Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy and Vatican City, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal (including Madeira and Azores), United Kingdom (including Gibraltar), Czech Republic, Romania and Sweden.

However, it will still cost us a kidney to call from Nigeria to abroad or from France to Portugal ... So that we have an example, we will see the prices to make international calls charged by Movistar, Vodafone and Orange, the three main operators of the country:
