Libon will eventually ask you to pay for cheap VOIP calls to any number.

Alternatively, install Signal and ask your recipient to do the same. Call each other and send free SMS securely on a WiFi connection.

I will choose to call my mom through Libon. My mom works in uae as an ofw and it is sad because its been 8 years that we are going to celebrate Christmas and New Year without her. But thank God there’s Libon which we can use now to call each other any time we want. And that 1,000 minutes of calls would be a great help. I hope to win. Merry Christmas everyone!
