Calling United Kingdom — Things to Know

• WhatsApp is the dominant messaging app in the UK — over 41 million monthly active users (73% of internet users). However, WhatsApp calls only work over internet and can't reach landlines or people without the app.
• The UK is exactly 5 hours ahead of US Eastern Time year-round (both countries observe daylight saving on a similar schedule). The best overlap for calling is 1–4 PM Eastern, which catches UK evenings (6–9 PM).
• BubblyPhone's rates to the UK start at under $0.01/min — a $5 top-up gives you hundreds of minutes of calling. Compare that to AT&T and T-Mobile at $1–$3/min without a plan.
• The UK telecom market consolidated in 2025 with the Vodafone-Three merger, forming VodafoneThree. The three major networks are now EE (BT), O2/Virgin Media, and VodafoneThree — all with extensive 5G coverage.
• Peak calling periods include Christmas/Boxing Day (December 25–26), Easter weekend, and bank holidays in May and August. Cultural events like Wimbledon (late June) and the Edinburgh Fringe (August) are also popular times.
• BubblyPhone works from any web browser — no app download required. Also available on iOS and Android for calling on the go.
• Enable AI transcription ($0.01/min) to get a written record and summary of your call — useful for business conversations across time zones.
