What does using Yeigo LITE cost?

ConnectUs/Call Connect Calls

Yeigo LITE is calling you and calling your friend, therefore there are two call rates that Yeigo LITE uses to reach the final call cost.

ConnectUs/Call Connect calls, you need to consider the cost of Yeigo LITE calling you, as well as Yeigo LITE calling your friend. The rates used for calling you in and for calling your friend, are the Yeigo LITE rates, not those of your telecom operators. These two rates are combined to give you the final call rate for that call.

If you and your friend are being called on your mobile phones, you need to combine two mobile rates of the countries being called (e.g. if you are in the UK and your friend is in the US, you take the total of the UK and US mobile rates).

If you are using your mobile phone and you are calling your friend on their fixed-line, then you need to combine the mobile rate and the local fixed line rate of the countries being called (e.g. if you are in France on your mobile and your friend is in Australia at home, you take the total of the French mobile rate and the Australian fixed-line rates).

SMS Messages

Yeigo Lite SMS message rates is the same as the full Yeigo applications.

Internet Costs

Data Usage
Same as Yeigo largely. Call Connect/Connect Us calls use the same about of data as a live chat.
