Does PennyTalk Mobile work with all Android phones?

To use PennyTalk Mobile, your phone must be running Android 1.6 or higher. In addition, you must have a mobile service plan that includes voice (for making calls) and data connectivity (for downloading the app and accessing your account balance).

PennyTalk Mobile is designed to work with all Android devices that meet these requirements. As new devices and new versions of the Android operating system are introduced, however, this becomes more of a challenge. If you do encounter difficulties, please contact us at info@getpennytalk.com.

How can I be sure I am using PennyTalk Mobile for international calls -- and not my mobile calling plan?

There are several ways to tell whether you are calling with the PennyTalk Mobile app:

  • Once you launch the app you should see "PennyTalk Mobile" at the top of the keypad screen.
  • When you place a call by accessing a contact from the PennyTalk Mobile keypad screen or by dialling an international phone number directly in the app's keypad and tapping Call, you should see "PennyTalk Mobile Call in Progress" displayed on your screen as your call goes through.
  • As your call is being connected, you should hear the message "Thank you for using PennyTalk Mobile." This lets you know that the call is going over the IDT Global Network at PennyTalk's low rates.

Please note that if you have ended your international call and would like to make another, you must launch the PennyTalk Mobile app again.

Can I use PennyTalk Mobile outside of Canada?

PennyTalk Mobile is designed to work in Canada for calls to other countries. We strongly recommend that you do not use the PennyTalk Mobile app when traveling outside Canada.

If you make a call with PennyTalk Mobile when outside Canada, the app will complete the call by using a Canadian access number. In this case, your mobile service provider will charge you for the cost of a call to Canada and will likely charge you an international roaming fee. In addition, PennyTalk will charge you for the cost of the PennyTalk Mobile call. You are responsible for all of these charges.

Does PennyTalk Mobile use airtime minutes?

Yes. Calls made with the PennyTalk Mobile app use airtime minutes.

Can I see my call history?

Yes. You can see your call history online in the PennyTalk Account Centre. Login with the Account Number and PIN you chose when you got your free minutes or when you signed up for your PennyTalk account. Your account number is most likely your mobile phone number; it can be found on the Settings screen of the app.
