Your frustration with calling the USA
Imagine you want to call your sister in New York or quickly update a client in Los Angeles. You ask your provider for rates: calling a US landline typically costs €0.07–€0.10 per minute, and a US mobile €0.15–€0.25 per minute. Roaming fees, mandatory bundles and unclear terms make cheap calls nearly impossible. Premium-rate numbers charge you per minute after a short greeting, and calls over WhatsApp or FaceTime prove unreliable.
What you’ve already tried
You’ve tried prepaid SIM cards that often require complicated activation yet still charge €0.10–€0.20 per minute, virtual operators like Lycamobile and Lyca whose “cheap” bundles hide fees and demand a minimum spend to reach €0.07 per minute, and internet-calling apps such as WhatsApp, Viber, FaceTime and Skype that promise low-cost calls but deliver unreliable connections and can strip out your caller ID.
Why Firsty is different
Firsty cuts through the bundle and plan maze. With a single eSIM and our app, you can make cheap international calls to any US landline or mobile number at a flat rate of €0.04 per minute. In the app you select a credit pack of €1, €5, €10, €20 or €50 and immediately see how many minutes you receive. Dial the country code +1 followed by the full number and connect! You always keep your own caller ID. Credits never expire and you pay only for what you use. There are no contracts and no hidden fees.
How the options compare
Other providers for landlines typically charge between €0.07 and €0.10 per minute and require you to buy a minimum international bundle of 50 or 100 minutes, meaning you pay upfront for credit you may never use before they expire.
Other providers for mobiles usually bill €0.15 to €0.25 per minute and mandate a roaming bundle with a fixed quota of minutes and data, exposing you to extra fees if you go over.
Firsty offers a transparent flat rate of €0.04 per minute with no minimum spend or bundle requirement, credits never expire and your caller ID is always preserved so contacts recognize your number.
