Why People Call the USA from Norway
There are a variety of reasons why people from Norway might need to make calls to the US. Some of these may include:
- Family connections – To keep in touch with relatives living in the USA.
- Business coordination – For communicating with clients, suppliers, or business partners based in the USA.

The Problem with Traditional Carriers
Traditional Norwegian carriers often charge high rates for international calls. The rates can vary between $0.40 to $0.60 per minute for calling the US, and there may also be additional connection fees per call. Moreover, “unlimited” international plans may have hidden restrictions or cost over $60 monthly. Prepaid calling cards may have short validity periods and may include hidden connection charges that reduce the actual call time.
