Connection Fee Explained
Kinvo charges a flat $0.05 connection fee per call to Laos. This fee is charged only when the call is answered by the recipient. You are never charged for:
- -Calls that are not answered (no pickup)
- -Calls that reach a busy signal
- -Calls that fail to connect due to network issues
- -Calls you cancel before the recipient answers
For example, a 10-minute call to a Laos landline costs: $0.05 + (10 x $0.26) = $2.65. A 10-minute call to a Laos mobile costs: $0.05 + (10 x $0.27) = $2.75.
Why Use Kinvo to Call Laos?
Traditional phone carriers charge between $1 and $3 per minute for international calls to Laos. Even calling plans that include "international minutes" typically cost $10 to $15 per month as an add-on and often exclude mobile numbers in Laos, which are charged at a premium rate. Kinvo eliminates all of this with straightforward per-minute pricing starting from $0.26 per minute and a flat $0.05 connection fee.
Unlike traditional VoIP apps like the discontinued Skype or Viber Out, Kinvo does not require downloading or installing any software. The entire experience runs in your web browser using WebRTC, the same technology that powers Google Meet and Zoom. This means you can call Laos from any computer, laptop, tablet, or phone with a browser and a microphone — at home, in the office, or on the go.
Kinvo credits are pay-as-you-go and never expire. There is no monthly subscription, no minimum spend, and no contract. If you buy $5 in credits today and do not call Laos for six months, your full balance will still be waiting. This is especially useful for people who call Laos occasionally rather than daily — you never lose money to expiring credit balances like you would with Skype or calling cards.
