Group calls — up to 4 people for the price of one call
Start a group call and everyone with the Dehay app joins free. Then dial one regular phone number abroad into the same room — a parent in Asmara, an aunt in Addis Ababa — and they join from the phone they already have. Only the host pays: the normal per-minute rate for that number plus a fraction of a cent per minute for each friend on the app. How group calls work
The most reliable way to reach a regular phone
Dehay carries calls over premium direct carrier routes into Eritrea, Ethiopia and the rest of the world — not the bargain grey routes that drop, echo or never connect. HD voice codecs adapt to Wi-Fi, 4G or 3G, calls connect in seconds, and because billing starts only when the call is answered, a call that doesn't connect costs you nothing.
The easiest way to pay
Top up in the app or on the web in seconds — no subscription, no contract, packs from $5. Saved cards repurchase in one tap, optional auto-recharge tops you up automatically when the balance runs low, and credits never expire.
- Debit or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
- Google Pay
- Mobile money — M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money and more in supported African countries
Share minutes with family
Send whole minutes from your balance to any other Dehay user. They arrive instantly, there is no fee, and each shared minute is worth a full minute of calling to Eritrea — the simplest way to keep a parent or a student abroad calling home. How minute sharing works

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to make international calls to Africa?
For calls to regular phones, a pay-as-you-go calling app is usually cheapest — no plan, no SIM, no connection fee. Comparing published pay-as-you-go rates to Eritrean mobiles (checked May 2026), Dehay at $0.20/min was cheaper than Localphone ($0.249), Yolla ($0.257), Boss Revolution ($0.275) and Rebtel ($0.279). Calls to Ethiopia start at $0.32/min, and the live per-minute rate card for 200+ destinations is at wificall.app/rates.
Do I need a SIM card or an international calling plan?
No. Dehay works over Wi-Fi or mobile data from any country, so you can call home from the USA, Canada, the UK, Europe, the Gulf or Australia without a local SIM or a carrier calling plan.
Does the person I'm calling need the app or internet?
No. You dial their regular mobile or landline number and their phone rings normally — nothing to install and no internet on their side. Calls between two Dehay users are free and go app-to-app.
Which countries can I call with Dehay?
200+ destinations worldwide, including Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. The full per-minute rate card is at wificall.app/rates.
Can an international calling app do group calls?
Dehay can. A group call holds up to 4 people, including you: everyone with the app joins free, and one regular phone number abroad can be dialed into the same call. You pay the normal per-minute rate for that number plus a fraction of a cent per minute for each friend on the app — about the price of one call.
How do I pay for international calls?
Top up in the app or at wificall.app/topup with card, Google Pay or mobile money (M-Pesa, MTN, Airtel). Packs start at $5, saved cards repurchase in one tap, and optional auto-recharge keeps your balance topped up. There is no subscription and credits never expire.
Can I send minutes to someone else?
Yes. Share whole minutes from your balance with any other Dehay user — they arrive instantly, free of charge, and can be used for calls right away.
Is the call quality reliable?
Dehay uses premium direct carrier routes rather than bargain grey routes, with HD voice codecs that adapt to Wi-Fi, 4G or 3G. Billing starts only when the call is answered, so a call that does not connect costs nothing.
Are there hidden fees or a subscription?
No. Dehay is pay-as-you-go: you are billed per minute from the moment the call is answered, with no connection fee, no monthly plan and no expiry on your credits.
Which languages does the app support?
13+ languages, including Tigrinya, Amharic and English, with support in all three.
