Nanu: Making Free Calls


nanu - free calls for everyone - screenshotIf only there was option to make free calls- This thought might have come across your mind after looking at the pop-up message showing the whooping amount of balance deducted after a long phone call. But this is no longer a wish as the developers at HelloNanu have given it the shape of an app - Nanu - which aims at delivering free calls to everyone.

Pros


  • This app is available for all devices running at Android 2.3 and up, and provides free calls even over 2G. 
  • Nanu to nanu calls are completely free of cost.
  • The app integrates with the user's contact book and also shows which contacts are already using nanu.
  • The call is made using the user's number and not a strange number
Cons

  • Nanu to non-nanu calls run on a system of minutes as balance. But this cannot be considered as a very big disadvantage as minutes can be earned by doing certain activities. For example, each time you share nanu with a contact (from an option in the app) you get credited with 10 minutes, providing that the contact installs the app and registers.
  • In some older models of android phones, the voice comes muffled and indistinguishable from background noise 

TO REGISTER


The installation of nanu is fairly easy. First it will ask for the number which is to be used for nanu. Be careful to select the correct country from the drop-down list. Then after you click verify a message containing the confirmation code will be sent to the respective phone number. Once the code has been entered and verified the app will show a brief introduction and then a dialpad, which will be used to make calls. 



       

                   



BASIC GUIDELINES FOR USE


  1. All calls, whether nanu to nanu or nanu to non-nanu, should have the country code before them
  2. Nanu to non-nanu calls will need a + sign, while nanu to non-nanu calls don't need a + sign. For example, a nanu to nanu call in Singapore will be dialed as 65XXXXXXXXXX, while a nanu to non-nanu call will be dialed as +65XXXXXXXXXX.
That was all about nanu. Enjoy using it! If you have any queries or suggestions regarding this post or the app, kindly post them in the comments.
