Call Anyone

 

Naver's messaging app LINE has launched a low-cost call service named Line Out in Korea.

"We introduced our Line Premium Call service to the nation, which was only available in Japan and other Asian countries, through an update," said an official at Naver on Sept. 6.

Line Out enables users to make domestic and international calls to mobiles and landlines for a low price from inside the app. Its rate is up to 95 percent cheaper than calling using current phone services.

The great advantage of the service is that it is possible for users to call their contacts even if they don’t use the Line app. In other words, anyone can use Line Out by charging funds in advance, or by paying a flat rate each month.

For example, the service charges 10 won per minute for international calls to the U.S. or China on a landline or via a cell phone.
