Hi my name is Harish. I am trying to make an international toll-free call to India and I am unable to do so.

@Harish1 If you're trying to call an individual, you can use WhatsApp over a WiFi connection to call free if the person you're calling also has the app. You can do the same if you use Skype.

If it's a company you're trying to call, I'm not sure if you can do that.

I did find this, which may be of some help to you: ITFN Explained: What is an International Toll Free Number? (unitedworldtelecom.com)

You can only make "calls" between users of apps.

If the other party is not using an app, then standard direct-dialled calls will always work.
