Compare The Cost To Call

If you usually direct dial your international calls using your Telkom landline, then you should take a look at this chart below to see what you could be saving by calling internationally through Call Star. By making a local call to our access number and then calling internationally through our service, you can save up to 85% on your international call.

The costs to call our access numbers from a Telkom landline are listed on the right hand side of the page. These are the standard published rates from their website. If you are on a one of their plans like Closer it may cost less or even be free to call our access number during certain hours.

Below is a comparison of what you could be saving on your international calling by first calling Call Star and then dialing internationally through us instead of direct dialing from your Telkom landline. In most cases the savings are enormous. Imagine saving 59% on the cost of calling India just by first calling a local number and then calling India through our gateway. At those savings, you could talk to family and friends twice as long as you do now.
