Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

CallTimer is an app designed to help you stay within fixed-length calling options such as 5-minute and 10-minute plans. It alerts you at the point you set so you can wrap up before overage charges start.

CallTimer works with standard carriers and MVNO services alike. Because the timer can be set anywhere from 1 to 60 minutes, it is flexible enough for a wide range of calling options.

Yes. The iPhone version includes free and premium options. The Android version currently includes its main features in the free ad-supported release.

Yes. It supports iPhone on iOS 13 and later, and Android devices on version 7.0 and later.

On Android, yes. On iPhone, no, because iOS does not allow apps to end calls directly. The iPhone version still provides vibration and sound alerts so you know when to stop.

A dial prefix is an extra number string added before the phone number. Some MVNO and discount services use it for cheaper routes. CallTimer can apply that prefix automatically where supported.

Use a timer that is slightly shorter than your free calling window. For a 5-minute plan, 4:30 is the usual starting point. That buffer matters.

The main difference is auto-end support. Android can go further because the OS allows more direct call-state handling. On iPhone, alerts are the main control method.

Yes. CallTimer works with ahamo, povo, LINEMO, Rakuten Mobile, and other carrier or MVNO plans where you want to keep each call within a time limit.

How it helps reduce overage

On common Japanese calling plans, going over the included time often costs 22 yen per 30 seconds. On a 5-minute plan, a 10-minute call can add 220 yen. CallTimer warns you before the limit so those avoidable charges do not keep stacking up.

Languages

CallTimer is available in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Vietnamese.
