Credits from check-ins, videos and offers
Dingtone lets you earn credits by checking in daily, watching videos, playing games, completing offers or inviting friends, or you can buy credit packages. Those credits pay for calls and texts to phone numbers. That works if you have time to collect them; it is less useful when you need to make a call now. Hyallo gives the first minute free, then charges per minute from credit you top up, with the rate for each country published on the site.
What is Dingtone?
Dingtone is a second-phone-number app founded in 2012. It offers numbers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and other countries, free calls and texts between Dingtone users, and calls to landlines and mobiles in 200+ countries paid with Dingtone credits.
Why people look for a Dingtone alternative
People who only need to call a phone number abroad often find the credit system slow: watching videos and doing offers before a call, or working out what a credit package buys in minutes. A dialer with a plain per-minute price is quicker for that.
Frequently asked questions
How do Dingtone credits work?
You earn them through daily check-ins, videos, games, offers and invitations, or buy them in packages, and spend them on calls and texts to phone numbers. Hyallo has no credits to earn: you top up money and each call is charged per minute.
Does Hyallo give me a second phone number?
No. Hyallo makes outgoing calls only. You can verify a number you already own so it shows as your caller ID.
Do I need an app to use Hyallo?
No. It runs in the browser on a computer or phone. You can also install it to your home screen as a web app.
