Introducing Pula Calls — free, private video & voice

Today we're proud to share something close to our heart: Pula Calls.

Wherever you are — Birmingham or Gaborone, Lusaka or Windhoek — you can now make free voice and video calls to your Pula connections, right in your browser. No app to download, and no charge to call your own family.

What's live now:

• 1-to-1 voice and video calls

• Works on weak signal — it eases from video to clear voice so you're never cut off

• See who's online and available to call right now

• Missed-call alerts, call history and one-tap call-back

• Record a call to your own device — keep birthdays, graduations and goodbyes (nothing is stored on our servers)

• Blur your background, or choose a Kalahari sunset or savanna backdrop

Private by design: your calls are encrypted between you and the person you're speaking to. We don't watch, listen to, or store your conversations.

Being honest about what's next: group and family calls (up to 25 people), joining by phone, and real-time translation are on the way — but they need extra infrastructure, so we've marked them 'coming soon' rather than promise what isn't ready yet.

Open your Connections and make your first call today. You'll always be seen and heard.
