Do I need to download an app to use Kinvo?

No. Kinvo works entirely in your browser using WebRTC technology. Just sign up, add credits, and start calling. It works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on any device with a microphone.

How does the Kinvo credit system work?

Buy credits in preset amounts ($5, $10, $20, $50, or $100) or a custom amount. Each call deducts credits based on the per-minute rate for that country plus a $0.05 connection fee (only charged when the call is answered). Credits never expire. Larger packs include bonus credits: $20 pack gets +$1, $50 gets +$5, $100 gets +$15.

Is Kinvo call quality good?

Yes. Kinvo uses WebRTC with HD voice codecs for crystal clear audio. All calls are encrypted end-to-end. Call quality is typically better than traditional phone calls, with real-time quality indicators showing latency and packet loss.
