Telhey About Telhey
Calling abroad, from your browser.
Telhey is a browser-based international calling service that helps travelers, people living abroad, and small businesses call banks, airlines, hotels, and other landline and mobile numbers at low rates.
What Telhey does
Make international calls from your computer
Call directly from your PC, laptop, or Mac without a mobile phone of your own. Handle overseas calls from the same computer you use for work, bookings, and everyday tasks.
Call online without downloading an app
Open Telhey in your browser, sign in, and dial from the homepage. The familiar dial pad makes calling straightforward, with no app installation required.
Reach landlines and mobile phones
Call real phone numbers in 140+ countries and regions, including published numbers for banks, airlines, and hotels. The person you call does not need a Telhey account, an app, or an internet connection to answer.
Pay with prepaid credits
Add credit from US$5 and pay as you go, with rates starting at US$0.02 per minute. There is no subscription fee between calls.
Manage calling for your team
Telhey lets team members share calling credit and manage team calls. Small businesses can fund international calling from one team wallet and review usage together.
What makes Telhey different
A free first call of up to 5 minute
Eligible new personal accounts can test a first call for up to 60 seconds without adding credit. Adding credits before your first call can extend your free time to 5 minutes.
Start with US$5, without a subscription
The minimum top-up is US$5, and rates start at US$0.02 per minute. Add credit when you need it instead of keeping a monthly calling plan.
No personal phone number required
Sign in with Google or email without providing a personal phone number. You can place a call from your computer without having a mobile phone ready.
A browser-based option after Skype
Skype retired in May 2025. For people who used Skype to call phone numbers with credit, Telhey offers a top-up-and-dial experience in the browser, without a subscription.
Works alongside a data-only eSIM
Telhey uses your internet connection to call landlines and mobile phones. Travelers with a data-only eSIM can reach hotels and airlines without voice minutes on that eSIM.
Who uses Telhey
- People contacting banks, airlines, or hotels abroad about accounts and bookings
- Travelers using data-only eSIMs who still need to call phone numbers
- Chinese expats, international students, and digital nomads handling matters across borders
- Former Skype users who prefer prepaid calls to landlines and mobile phones
- Freelancers, independent developers, and small cross-border businesses calling overseas contacts
