FamilyCall currently focuses on diaspora users in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada calling family in Nigeria (and Kenya). A corridor is marked Live only after it has been tested with real numbers.

If your relative does not have data

They can still request a call by dialing a local FamilyCall access number (when provisioned in Nigeria) — no smartphone app required. You get an SMS and email alert, then call back when ready.
