Calling
Who are you calling?
Taken from your device. We only suggest times between 8am and 10pm for you.
How the planner picks a time
- A business: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm their time
- Banks, offices and government lines answer on working days. The planner skips their weekend.
- A person: any day, 9am to 9pm their time
- Late enough not to wake anyone, early enough not to interrupt the night.
- You: 8am to 10pm your time
- It never suggests a time that means setting an alarm in the middle of the night.
- Daylight saving, on both sides
- Each place uses its official time zone, so the spring and autumn clock changes are included.

Planner questions
How does the planner pick the best time to call?
It checks the next seven days in 15-minute steps and keeps the times when the place you are calling is available and you are awake: Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm their time for a business, any day 9am to 9pm for a person, and 8am to 10pm your time.
Does it handle daylight saving time?
Yes. It uses the official time zone of each place, for you and for them, so the clock changes in spring and autumn are always included.
What if the country has more than one time zone?
Pick the city closest to the person or office you are calling. The United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, Russia and Indonesia each have several.
Are public holidays included?
No. If you are calling a business on a date that could be a local holiday, check before you call.
How does it know what time it is for me?
It reads the time zone set on your device. If that is not where you are, pick your time zone from the list.
What does the call cost?
It depends on the country and on whether you call a landline or a mobile. The call cost calculator works it out from live rates, and the dialer shows the exact price for your number before you call.
Call cost calculatorDoes the person I call need CallTuv?
No. Their landline or mobile rings like any other call. They do not need an app, an account or the internet.
