Call your family back home.
Every day if you want.
You moved to build a better life. Staying connected with the people you left behind shouldn't cost a fortune. Telvio makes daily calls home affordable.
Download Telvio FreeCalling home is expensive and unnecessarily complicated
Every option comes with a cost — either money, time, or a reason your family can't pick up.
$15–50/month
International carrier plans
Carrier add-ons for international calls cost $15–50 per month. That's $180–600 per year just to hear your family's voice. You pay whether you call a lot or a little.
Hidden fees, expiring credit
Calling cards
Scratch cards with hidden connection fees, short expiration windows, and poor audio quality. And you need to buy them at a store, not at midnight when you want to call.
Your parents don't use apps
App-to-app calls
WhatsApp only works if both sides have it. Your parents answer their home phone — they're not downloading another app. You need to call a real number.
Simple calls to real phones at honest prices
Calls their regular phone
Your mother answers her landline. Your father picks up his mobile. No app required on their end. No internet needed at their home. You call a real phone number, they hear it ring, they answer. That's it.
Buy once, call for months
The $4.99 Standard pack gives you a solid pool of minutes. At $0.08/min to India, that's many long calls with your family. The minutes never expire — no pressure to use them up.
No monthly commitment
No subscription. No auto-renewal. No penalty for a quiet month. Buy minutes when you need them, keep them until you use them.
Your family hears your voice
Text messages and video calls are great, but sometimes a phone call is what matters. Hearing your parents' voice, letting them hear yours. Telvio makes that affordable every single day — not just on weekends or holidays.

Does my family need to install any app to receive my calls?
No. Telvio calls their regular phone number — mobile or landline. Your parents pick up the phone the same way they always do. No app, no internet connection, no smartphone required on their end.
Can my family call me back on the same number?
Telvio is an outbound calling app — you initiate calls to their phone number. Your family can call you back on your regular mobile number as they normally would. Telvio does not assign you an inbound number.
Is the call quality better than calling cards?
Yes, consistently. Calling cards often route through multiple third-party networks with low-quality compression. Telvio uses modern VoIP with clear audio over your WiFi or mobile data connection. No echo, no robotic voice, no dial-in PIN.
Which package is best if I call home daily?
The $9.99 Premium pack offers the best value for regular callers. At $0.08/min to India, that's over 124 minutes — more than 2 hours of calls. Since minutes never expire, you don't need to rush to use them.
Can I use one Telvio account to call multiple family members?
Yes. You call any phone number in any country from a single account. Call your mother on her mobile, your father on the landline, and your grandmother in a different city — all from the same balance.
Will the rates I see now change?
Rates are generally stable and any changes are rare. The rate shown in the app before you connect is what you pay — no hidden fees, no connection charges added on top. You can always check current rates in the app before dialing.
