You can only use a government-authorised application to call India back. Instead, you can use these alternatives:
Method 1: BOTIM
BOTIM is an application that is widely used to make calls from Dubai to India. The interface is very easy to understand, and tariff prices are low compared to other telecom companies. BOTIM also offers a free version, which has time constraints on calls, but you can still talk to your loved ones for free. This app also allows money to be transferred without any extra tax. You get a chat feature and also games in the application.



If you are a free user, you will face some distortion and voice break during calls. This is common, and many people have reported the same.
Method 2: Rebtel
Rebtel is another great application for calling India from Dubai. Its best feature is that you can call 50 countries with just one plan. That is only $12, probably the cheapest of all the applications out there. You can also make offline calls with this in Saudi Arabia. If you do not want to buy a monthly plan, you can get credits and use those credits to make calls. Best if you are in the country only for a couple of days.


Method 3: Frejun
Frejun is the next best thing after Rebtel; with only a couple of dollars more, you get many features, which is why this application is on our top 3 list. This application offers AI-optimised call quality and the lowest per-minute calling rates. Global virtual numbers and call recording and transcription facilities are available as well. The average rate for Frejun is $14, which is still affordable.
