I’m looking for a privacy respecting service that will let me call a landline in EU. Please recommend something and thanks in advance.

    Stupid question, but why not just use your phone’s telephone functionality? Landlines are just regular phone numbers, no?

      There are no stupid questions. I’m away on holiday outside EU and I may need to call our insurance company to get medical support for a child. I guess I could just use Skype, but I’m taking this as an opportunity to figure out if someone better exists.

        If it was something as critical as that, if it was me, I’ll pay for roaming and use my phone like regular. I don’t know how easy it is for you but I’m from the US and the cost is a no brainer.

          Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m fully prepared to just pay the roaming fees. It’s just that I think it’s overpriced and I know for a fact that cheaper options exist.
