Free: App-to-App Calls
Both people need the app and internet. No charges, no limits.
1. WhatsApp — Widely Used
WhatsApp is popular in Estonia. Free voice and video calls work perfectly on Estonia's excellent digital infrastructure. Telia Estonia, Elisa Estonia, and Tele2 Estonia provide world-class coverage. Estonia was one of the first countries with nationwide free WiFi.
2. Facebook Messenger — Common
Messenger is popular in Estonia, similar to the other Baltic states. Many Estonians use both WhatsApp and Messenger depending on the contact.
3. Telegram & Signal — Tech-Savvy Users
As a digital-first nation, Estonia has a disproportionately tech-savvy population. Telegram and Signal both have notable user bases among developers, e-Residency holders, and privacy-conscious Estonians.
Tip: Skype was originally built by Estonian developers (and Danes). It had a massive user base in Estonia before shutting down in 2025. Many Estonians migrated to other apps.
4. FaceTime — For iPhone Users
iPhone market share in Estonia is around 30-35%. Samsung is more popular, but Apple has a strong presence among professionals. FaceTime works well given Estonia's excellent internet.
Calling Estonian Phone Numbers — Very Cheap
Estonia is very affordable to call:
| Service | Mobile Rate | Landline Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BubblyPhone | $0.05/min | $0.05/min | Browser, iOS, Android — very cheap |
| Google Voice | $0.32/min | $0.03/min | US Google account required |
| Rebtel | $0.39/min | $0.02/min | Unlimited plans available |
| AT&T / Verizon | $1.50-3.00/min | $1.50-3.00/min | Up to 125x more expensive |
Our honest take: BubblyPhone ($0.05/min) is half the price of Google Voice for Estonian mobiles ($0.10/min). A 60-minute call costs $3.00. For landlines, Google Voice ($0.02/min) is slightly cheaper. But WhatsApp is free — and Estonia has world-class internet.

Which Method Should You Use?
Calling family in Estonia
WhatsApp or Messenger — both are free. Estonia's world-class internet means crystal-clear calls. FaceTime is also common.
Calling an Estonian business
BubblyPhone ($0.05/min) or Google Voice ($0.02/min landline). A 30-minute business call costs $0.60-$1.50. English is widely spoken in Estonia's tech sector.
Calling an Estonian mobile number
BubblyPhone ($0.05/min) is half the price of Google Voice ($0.10/min). A 60-minute call costs $3.00.
Calling about e-Residency or Estonian startup
WhatsApp or email first — Estonia's digital-first culture means many businesses prefer digital communication. For phone calls, BubblyPhone ($0.05/min) is cheapest.
Tips for Calling Estonia
- Estonia is 7 hours ahead of EST (EET, UTC+2). When it's 10 AM in New York, it's 5 PM in Tallinn. Best window: 9-11 AM EST (4-6 PM Tallinn) or 1-3 PM EST (8-10 PM Tallinn)
- The world's most digital country — Estonia has digital ID, e-Residency, online voting, and nearly all government services online. If you're calling about digital services, expect highly tech-literate contacts
- Skype was born here — Skype was developed by Estonian engineers (and Danish entrepreneurs). It shut down in 2025, but its legacy lives on. Many Estonians worked on it
- Excellent English — especially among younger Estonians and in the tech sector. Tallinn is a major startup hub
- Simple dialing — no area codes, no leading 0. Just +372 and the 7-8 digit number. Easier than most European countries
