Localphone offers a range of services that enable customers to make cheap international calls and send text messages. The most popular service, Local Numbers, gives customers a landline number to call that is local to them and each number connects straight to their contact abroad. Users can save this number to their phone and contacts. Local Numbers uses the free minutes that most customers have with their phone provider, so the customer only needs to pay the cheap Localphone rate for the international part of the call.

Localphone was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Sheffield, United Kingdom. It has quickly grown to become one of the leading international call providers in the market and offers call rates that are up to 88% cheaper than the competition. After being awarded Highly Commended for Best Consumer VoIP at the ITSPA 2012 Awards the development teams are currently working on new features and products, so 2013 looks set to be an exciting time for Localphone.
