Get Started

  • Use any type of phone – no Internet required

    Make high quality international calls from any phone number you register with us, to any phone number in the world – with or without the Internet.

  • Get our free app to make free calls

    There are three great reasons to download our app. First, KeKu app users can call each other free from anywhere in the world. Second, you can create Local Numbers with the press of a button – right out of your address book. (Already dial Local Numbers from your mobile? They will still work if you download the app.) And third, the KeKu app gives you options to make calls through your minute plan, data plan or even WiFi.

  • Invite friends and earn bonus credit

    When you refer a friend to KeKu, you both win. KeKu doubles the value of their first purchase – and give you a bonus equal to their first purchase (up to $10). Just be sure your friend uses your referral code when they sign up. There is no limit to the amount of referrals you can make, and your credit will never expire. The more people you refer, the more free calls you can make.

  • Avoid roaming charges when you travel

    When you arrive in a new country, purchase a local SIM card or mobile phone – and register that new phone with KeKu. Next, create a Local Number™ - one local to your friends back home – linked to your new phone number. Finally, remember to forward your home or mobile phone number to the new Local Number™. Whenever your friends call you, they'll be instantly forwarded – and you'll avoid roaming.

  • Never worry about hidden fees or long-term commitments

    With KeKu, there are no contracts, no fees, and no expiration dates. You get exactly what you pay for and your credit never expires. Because there are no contracts, there are no cancellation fees or any need to ever close your KeKu account. You can use your credit as you need it without worrying about it expiring.

  • Forward Google Voice Calls to an International Number

    KeKu can forward your Google Voice calls to an international number – a feature not available from Google directly. Some of our customers use this to cut down on roaming costs when they travel – or so that their friends abroad can easily reach them.
