Calling Abroad During
Peak Holidays
Christmas, New Year's, and Diwali are the busiest calling days of the year. Don't let network congestion block your wishes. Use StartACall's VoIP network to bypass traditional carrier jams.
Why Calls Fail on Holidays
Understanding the "Network Jam" helps you avoid it.
The "Trunk" Limit
Traditional phone carriers have a physical limit on how many calls can connect between countries simultaneously. On NYE, this capacity is exceeded by 1000%.
The VoIP Advantage
StartACall uses the internet (WebRTC). While local internet can slow down, it rarely "blocks" a connection completely like a phone circuit does.
Major Peak Dates
How to Beat the Holiday Rush
The "Golden Hour"
Call 2-3 hours before midnight in the recipient's time zone. Everyone tries to call exactly at 12:00 AM.
Use Browser Calling
Bypass the congested cellular towers. If you have WiFi, you have a clear line with StartACall.
Keep it Short
If lines are busy, a 5-minute greeting is better than a failed 1-hour call. Connect briefly, then call back the next day.
