Introducing the ZenCall Rate Calculator: Know Your Cost Before You Dial

Making international calls should be simple, transparent, and affordable. That’s why we built the ZenCall Rate Calculator — a tool that lets you instantly check how much a call will cost before you even pick up the phone. 💡 Why We Built It One of the most common questions we received from early users was: “How much will my call cost?” Since Telnyx (our voice carrier) offers different rates depending on the country and the type of number (mobile vs landline), we realized we needed to make this pricing clearer — without overwhelming users with telecom jargon. ⚙️ How It Works When you enter a phone number in the ZenCall dialer, we automatically: Detect the destination country and number type. Detect your caller number (whether you’re using a ZenCall public number or a purchased number). Find the best matching rate from our internal database of Telnyx pricing. Display the estimated cost per minute, including our margin. All of this happens in real-time — no need to guess or check a support doc. 🔍 Transparent Pricing, Always ZenCall runs on a pay-as-you-go model. You only pay for what you use, and you’ll always see your estimated cost upfront — right in the dialer. Note: Rates shown are for calls made from US/Canada numbers. If you’re using a ZenCall number purchased from another country, your rate may differ slightly depending on the destination. ✨ Why This Matters Too many calling platforms hide their pricing behind complex charts or opaque “credits.” With ZenCall, you get: ✅ Real-time pricing ✅ No subscriptions ✅ No surprise bills 🚀 Try It Now Go to zencall.so and try out the calculator in the dialer. Just type in a number and we’ll show you the cost.

ZenCall Feature Update: New Caller ID Options

In the world of international calling, how your number appears to the person you’re calling can make a huge difference. Whether you're making business calls across borders or trying to reach friends and family abroad, having the right caller ID for international calls builds trust, improves answer rates, and increases professionalism. That’s why ZenCall is excited to roll out a major feature update in 2025: Customizable Caller ID Options for International Calls. Why Caller ID Matters for International Calls When you make a phone call, the person on the other end sees a caller ID — a phone number that tells them who's calling. But when you're calling internationally, things get tricky: Your number may show up as “Unknown” Some carriers block anonymous or foreign calls People are more likely to ignore international numbers they don’t recognize In many cases, not having a local or consistent caller ID means your call won’t get answered at all. For example: A US-based entrepreneur calling South Africa might show up as “Unknown” and get screened. A UK caller dialing a Colombian mobile might get blocked entirely due to spam filters. That’s where ZenCall’s new Caller ID Options come in. What’s New in ZenCall’s Caller ID Feature? ZenCall users can now choose how their caller ID appears when making international calls — giving them more control, flexibility, and trustworthiness than ever before. 🔧 Key Features: Verified Caller ID Numbers: Choose from numbers you own and verify Country-Specific Numbers: Display a local number based on the destination country Anonymous Option: Call without showing a number, if needed Business Branding (coming soon): Set your organization’s number or brand name for premium accounts How It Works 1. Verified Number Selection Users can now register and verify their existing numbers with ZenCall. Once verified, that number can be used as your caller ID. Example: You own a US mobile number: +1 312 555 0123 After verifying it through SMS or voice, you can choose to show that number when making international calls through ZenCall. 2. Dynamic Local Numbers If you prefer, ZenCall can assign you a temporary local number based on your call destination. Let’s say you’re calling a contact in France — you can choose to display a French local number like +33 1 82 88 1234 instead of your home country number. This boosts your chances of being answered. 3. Private Caller ID Option If you're making sensitive calls or want to remain anonymous, ZenCall also allows you to suppress caller ID completely. Note: Some countries and carriers may block calls from hidden numbers, so use this setting wisely. Why This Matters for Business Users For businesses making international sales, support, or outreach calls, having control over your caller ID is essential. Benefits: ✅ Higher Answer Rates — People are more likely to pick up local-looking numbers ✅ Professionalism — Consistent business number builds trust ✅ Spam Protection — Avoid being flagged as spam or fraud ✅ Location Targeting — Customize your number for regional marketing Whether you’re a freelancer, a global nonprofit, or a call center, caller ID management is no longer optional — it’s a competitive advantage. Use Cases 🌍 International Sales Teams Display a local number in each target country to build trust and increase conversion rates. A Nigerian prospect is more likely to pick up a call from a Lagos number than one from Chicago. 🏢 Customer Support Across Borders Let customers abroad recognize your business when you follow up. Instead of seeing a weird + random international number, they see your official support line. 🧳 Frequent Travelers & Expats Keep your home number visible even when calling from overseas. ZenCall lets you stay recognizable and reachable. 🕵️‍♀️ Private or Sensitive Calls Want to protect your identity or prevent callbacks? Choose anonymous mode when needed. How to Set Up Your Caller ID on ZenCall Setting up caller ID is fast and easy. ✅ Step-by-Step Guide: Log into your ZenCall account Go to Settings > Caller ID Choose one of the following: Verify a personal/business number Use country-specific numbers (ZenCall provided) Choose anonymous/private Follow the prompts to verify if needed Save and test by making a call You can switch your setting anytime based on your current needs. Supported Countries for Local Caller ID ZenCall currently supports local number caller ID for outbound calls in: 🇺🇸 United States 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 🇫🇷 France 🇩🇪 Germany 🇨🇦 Canada 🇦🇺 Australia 🇿🇦 South Africa 🇨🇴 Colombia 🇳🇬 Nigeria 🇮🇳 India 🇲🇽 Mexico (More being added every month) Frequently Asked Questions Does this work with mobile and landline calls? Yes — your caller ID is displayed on both mobile and landline calls, unless the destination carrier blocks it. Can I use a virtual number as my caller ID? Yes, as long as you can verify it through SMS or voice. Can I set different caller IDs for different countries? Not yet, but that feature is in development. For now, you can switch manually before calling. What happens if my number is flagged as spam? ZenCall monitors call reputation using third-party tools. If your number is flagged, we’ll notify you and help rotate or verify a new one. What This Means for ZenCall Users With this update, ZenCall becomes one of the most flexible international calling platforms available — not just for price and accessibility, but for caller identity control. Whether you're an individual making occasional international calls or a business handling hundreds a week, how your number appears matters. And now, you have options.
