Free: App-to-App Calls
Both people need the app and internet. No charges, no limits.
1. WhatsApp — Widely Used
WhatsApp is popular in Lithuania, especially for international communication with family abroad. Free voice and video calls work reliably. Telia Lithuania, Bite, and Tele2 Lithuania provide excellent nationwide 4G/5G coverage.
2. Facebook Messenger — Very Popular
Messenger is extremely popular in Lithuania — Facebook has very high penetration in the Baltic states. Many Lithuanians use Messenger as their primary daily messaging app, with WhatsApp reserved more for international contacts.
3. Viber — Some Users
Viber has a notable user base in Lithuania, partly influenced by the broader Eastern European adoption pattern. It's not dominant but worth checking with your contact.
4. FaceTime — For iPhone Users
iPhone market share in Lithuania is around 25-30%. Samsung and Xiaomi are more popular. FaceTime works if both sides have Apple devices.
Calling Lithuanian Phone Numbers — Very Cheap
Lithuania is very affordable to call:
| Service | Mobile Rate | Landline Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| BubblyPhone | $0.22/min | $0.22/min | Browser, iOS, Android — very cheap |
| Google Voice | $0.32/min | $0.12/min | US Google account required |

| AT&T / Verizon | $1.50-3.00/min | $1.50-3.00/min | Up to 150x more expensive |
