TwinPhone vs Talk360: questions
Everything you need to know about TwinPhone.
From a US account, Talk360 lists $0.05/min to the US, $0.06/min to Canada, from $0.12/min to UK landlines, from $0.17/min to UK mobiles and $0.05/min to Indian mobiles; its prices change with the country of the number you register. TwinPhone bills $0.02/min to the US and Canada, $0.06/min and $0.12/min to UK landlines and mobiles, and $0.08/min to India, the same wherever you are.
Talk360 says it is not available as a desktop app for Windows or Mac; it runs on iPhone and Android. TwinPhone runs in any current browser on a computer or phone, and has iPhone and Android apps too.
Not through Talk360: its help centre says it does not offer incoming calls, SMS or virtual numbers. With a rented TwinPhone number, people can call you in the browser or the app, and US and Canadian senders can text you.
Talk360 needs a real mobile number confirmed with an SMS code, and does not accept virtual numbers or numbers from some countries. TwinPhone needs only an email and password or a Google account.
Talk360 says paid credits are valid for 365 days, and a service fee is added to manual top-ups. TwinPhone credit does not expire, and top-ups start at $10.
No, for either. Both call ordinary mobiles and landlines, so the person you call just answers their phone. Neither can call emergency numbers.
