Ringo is an international calling app for smartphones that utilizes dedicated phone circuits for making calls. Ringo uses local phone networks instead of the user's smart phone's internet connection to connect calls. Thus, the receiver is not required to download the app to receive a call. It is available in apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Ringo launched in 2014 and is currently available for use in 15 countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, India,Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and USA. Users in these countries can make a call to anywhere in the world.

Features and functionality
Ringo lets users make calls to any number in any destination worldwide and does not use a web connection for its calls. The recipient of the international call need not have the app installed. Users can purchase top up credits through the app for Android and Windows Phone and through their website for iOS to make calls. When a call is made using Ringo, it is connected to a local phone network and assigned a local number. It then switches the call to travel through submarine cables. Once the call reaches the receiver's destination, it's connected to a local network there again. Although the call is assigned different local numbers every time it is made, the receiver sees the caller's contact details only.
