Subject: Seeking Recommendations for International Calling Systems
Hello everyone,
I’m based in the UK and have recently launched my own recruitment firm. I’m curious to know which voice system you all use for international calls.
Most of my clients come from the UK, Singapore, New York, and Hong Kong, so I’m looking for the best and most cost-effective option. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi! Congratulations on starting your recruitment firm! For calling internationally, there are several options you can consider that balance cost and quality:
VoIP Services: Platforms like Skype, Zoom, and Google Voice are popular as they provide affordable international calling rates and often come with additional features like video conferencing and messaging.
Business Phone Systems: Services like RingCentral, Grasshopper, or 8×8 offer dedicated business phone systems with international calling capabilities, which can be very beneficial for a recruitment firm.
Virtual Phone Numbers: You might want to look into services like Twilio or Sonetel. They allow you to get local virtual numbers for different countries, making it feel local to your clients while keeping costs lower.
Free Calling Apps: If your clients are open to it, apps like WhatsApp, Viber, or Signal offer free international calling over the internet. This could save costs significantly if you have a stable internet connection.
International Calling Cards: If you prefer traditional methods, international calling cards can also be a low-cost option for calling specific countries.
It’s worth trialing a couple of these options to see which ones work best in terms of call quality and usability for your business. Good luck with your recruitment firm!
