How-to guides
Practical guides for calling real people and places abroad, straight from your browser.
How to call your bank while traveling abroad
Lost a card or need to unblock a payment while you're overseas?

How to call US & UK toll-free (1-800) numbers from abroad

How to make phone calls over Wi-Fi without carrier Wi-Fi calling
Carrier Wi-Fi Calling only works if your provider supports it in that country and your plan includes it. QuikRing skips that requirement entirely — it places a real call over any Wi-Fi connection directly from your browser, with no carrier provisioning needed.
How to make phone calls while backpacking without a SIM

How small support teams make outbound calls without a phone system

How remote teams make and receive calls without a shared office phone
A distributed team doesn't have a shared office line to fall back on. QuikRing gives every team member browser-based calling billed from one organization balance, so anyone can call a client or candidate from wherever they're working, without a separate phone system to administer.

How to call home from a cruise ship without the ship's satellite phone rates
Cruise ship satellite phones and in-cabin phone systems charge a steep per-minute rate for calls off the ship. Most cruise lines also sell a Wi-Fi day or trip pass — once you're connected to that Wi-Fi, QuikRing lets you call a real phone number from your browser at its own transparent per-minute rate instead of the ship's phone system.
How to make a phone call when your SIM has expired or run out of credit
A prepaid SIM that's expired or out of credit usually means no calls until you find a shop to top it up. As long as your phone or laptop still has Wi-Fi, QuikRing lets you place a real call from your browser without touching your SIM at all.
How to make phone calls from a Chromebook
A Chromebook doesn't have a cellular modem or a phone app, so a normal phone call usually isn't possible from one. QuikRing runs entirely in Chrome, so you can dial a real phone number from your Chromebook's browser with no extension or app to install.
How to make phone calls from an Android phone without cellular service
No SIM, no signal, or a phone plan that doesn't work where you are — any of these can leave an Android phone unable to make a normal call. QuikRing runs in Chrome or any other Android browser, so you can call a real phone number over Wi-Fi even when the phone app itself has no service.
How to call a landline number abroad
Landline numbers — a hotel front desk, a local business, a relative's home phone — don't have WhatsApp or FaceTime to fall back on. QuikRing calls landlines exactly like mobile numbers, direct from your browser at a clear per-minute rate.
How to make a phone call with your phone in airplane mode
Airplane mode turns off your cellular radio, so the phone app itself can't place a call — but Wi-Fi usually still works. QuikRing runs over Wi-Fi in your browser, so you can dial a real phone number while your phone stays in airplane mode.
How to make phone calls in a country that blocks VoIP apps
Some countries restrict or block consumer VoIP apps like WhatsApp and Skype voice calls on local networks. QuikRing runs over standard HTTPS web traffic in your browser rather than a dedicated VoIP app protocol, so it keeps working on networks where those specific apps are blocked.
