There are lots of expatriates who live and work in Maldives who need to call their home and making calls from their regular phone is expensive. There are many other ways to make calls which are much cheaper than the regular phones from the telecom operators in Maldives
Making phone calls through the Internet is the best and economical way and we have good internet connectivity in Maldives. Broadband Internet package from Dhiraagu is very much economical and we can use this service to make International call. You need to use services like Yahoo Phone, Skype, Truphone, Mediaring, etc which can give you a better price and make long phone calls. If you are using iPhone, then you can opt for applications like Skype or Truphone. I personally use Skype and Truphone using wifi internet on my iPhone. If you are a power user , you can opt for the un-limited package from Truphone. The voice clarity is excellent almost like our regular phone. I have considerably reduced my regular monthly mobile bills to 40% after using this service and I spend about 10% of what I used to pay for my mobile bills on international calls and moreover I call home more frequently and talk more.
