Why people switch
Calling without another chat app
Viber Out piggybacks on a messaging app you may not otherwise use. Jelly Calls is a dialer in your browser. If you can open a web page, you can make a call - on a laptop at a hotel, a tablet, or your phone.
See the rate before you dial
Jelly Calls shows the per-minute price for each country up front. No subscription layered on top of credit, and credits never expire.
Signup in seconds
Email and password. No phone verification hoop to get started, and free starting credit so you can test a real call before you buy more.
The honest verdict
Pick Jelly Calls when
You want Viber Out-style calls to real phones without installing Viber, managing another messenger, or digging through in-app credit screens.
Pick Viber when
You already live inside Viber for messaging and only need occasional Out credits from the same app. Staying in one place can be simpler for that workflow.

Need mobile data, not just calls?
JellyCalls handles the calling and uses whatever internet you already have. Getting online abroad is a different job - Jelly eSIM covers 195+ countries with instant activation and no roaming fees.
Common questions
What is Viber Out?
Viber Out is Viber's paid feature for calling regular phone numbers (not just other Viber users). Jelly Calls offers the same kind of destination reach from a browser instead of the Viber app.
Do I need to install anything for Jelly Calls?
No. Jelly Calls runs in your web browser on desktop and mobile. There is nothing to download or update.
Can I keep using Viber for chat and Jelly Calls for phones?
Absolutely. Many people use WhatsApp or Viber for friends and Jelly Calls when they need to reach a landline or business number.
How do rates compare?
Rates vary by destination on both services. On Jelly Calls you can check the exact per-minute rate for your country before you dial.
