Rates to Vanuatu by caller ID

Carriers price a call partly by the number it comes from, so the rate depends on which callmins number you show as caller ID. The headline price above is the highest of these, so it never understates what you'll pay.

For Vanuatu, the rate is the same whichever callmins number you call from: $2.36 a minute to landlines and $2.36 to mobiles.

What a call to Vanuatu costs

For comparison, check the international rate card of your mobile network or landline provider. Pay-as-you-go international calls on a phone plan are usually billed per minute at well above wholesale, and many plans need an international add-on first. A $5 callmins top-up buys about 2 minutes to a mobile in Vanuatu.
