Startup Zoo.Tok allows you to make international phone calls from your mobile to anywhere in the world–The price? 50 pence a call or a little over $1.00.

Now aside from the fact that Zoo.Tok allows you to make phone calls using your mobile phone, you might be asking yourself what the value is in using Zoo.tok when VOIP services like Skype allows you to make calls for as low as $0.03 per minute? Well, at its per-call price, Zoo.tok allows you to make one call and talk AS LONG AS YOU WANT.

Zoo.Tok also passes the “Mom Test” and can’t be any easier to use. All you need to do is register your mobile phone number (using what they claim is The World’s Shortest Form^tm), send an SMS containing the number of the party you wish to call to +447800000319 and zoo.tok automatically connects you.

Alternatively, you can login to your zoo.tok account and make phone calls from there.

You get two free calls upon registration and after you’ve used those up, you have the option to top up your account with £1.00, £5.00, £10.00, or £20.00 values.

A tip to Filipino readers: What can you do with Zoo.tok, disposable email addresses, and cheap, 30-Peso Sim Cards?

Cheap ass.
