What is outgoing call?

An outgoing call is a phone call made by the person initiating the call to another person or a business. When making an outgoing call, the caller dials the phone number of the recipient and waits for the call to connect. Outgoing calls can be made using a landline phone, mobile phone, or internet-based platforms such as voice over internet protocol (VoIP) services.

Outgoing calls are typically billed to the caller based on the duration of the call and any additional charges that may apply, such as long-distance or international calling fees. Many phone service providers offer packages or plans that include a certain number of outgoing call minutes or unlimited calling for a flat monthly rate.

Outgoing calls are an essential communication tool for individuals and businesses to connect with friends, family, colleagues, clients, and customers. Making outgoing calls allows people to convey information, hold conversations, conduct business transactions, and stay connected with others.
