Scope and purpose
We publish practical material about international dialing, number formats, browser calling, live translation, route availability, and Localcall prices. Every search-facing page must solve a concrete calling problem and must not exist solely to target a keyword or create a variation of another page.
Source hierarchy
National telecommunications regulators are preferred for country-specific numbering rules. ITU E.164 and national numbering-plan records provide the global baseline. Localcall route and rate claims come from the current public product data. Secondary sources may help us discover a change but do not replace primary evidence where it exists.
Independence and limitations
Localcall benefits when readers use its product, so product availability and prices are labeled as Localcall data. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. We identify uncertainty, unsupported services, number portability, geographic exceptions, and stale evidence instead of presenting estimates as verified facts.
Updates
A page’s modified date changes only after a factual or substantive editorial update. Numbering evidence is reviewed before activation and at least every 90 days while a page remains eligible. Route and rate data must be no older than 30 days for new activation. See the full methodology.
