Our story
Built by the diaspora,
for the diaspora.
WiFiCall was born from a simple frustration: why does calling home cost so much? We set out to change that — forever.

Distance is just a number.
Connection is everything.
Our Mission
Affordable calls shouldn't be a luxury
Millions of Eritreans and Ethiopians live abroad — in the USA, UK, Canada, UAE, and beyond. They're doctors, engineers, teachers, students. But they all share one thing: family back home they desperately want to stay connected with.
Legacy telecom providers charged $0.40–$0.90 per minute for calls to Eritrea. That's not just expensive — it's a barrier to love. WiFiCall was built to tear that barrier down, delivering crystal-clear calls at $0.05/min.

iOS & Android Launch
The polished mobile apps launched on the App Store and Google Play. Full dialpad, call history, contacts integration, and in-app top-up — everything the community asked for.
