How to make cheapest calls from France (Mobile) to India (Mobile)?

Accepted answer

Operators Lyca and Lebara are the best bet for your usage. Currently both of them charge around 4ct per minute to mobile and 1ct per minute to landline. I've seen couple of operators claiming to be lower than the above two, but they come with terms and conditions. At the end, Lyca/Lebara turns out to be cheaper.

Here are few tricks you can try to save few cents -

  • Go for online top-ups instead of buying a voucher over the counter. You get additional credit for online top-ups.
  • Buy higher denominations when you top-up. For a 20€ you get an additional 10€ credit.
  • Make calls to landline since they are 75% cheaper than calls made to mobile phones.
  • Look out for some 'bundle' offers for example you can call a set of numbers (2/3) for 1000 minutes for a fee of 10€
  • Have two SIM cards - one for local calls (with cheaper call rates) and one for international calls. You can buy a cheap mobile handset to avoid switching the SIM every now and then.

Try Rebtel. Unlike other VOIP calling services, the way Rebtel works is that it connects over a normal phone call locally, then connects to the destination country over the Internet, and then terminates over a local phone network again. This way, you don't use data and you only pay for local minutes (plus Rebtel fees), which should be cheap enough on pay-as-you-go. Another such service called Jajah exists too which I've used, but Rebtel is much easier / has a better interface.
