How to Call Kenya
There are several ways to make calls to Kenya, which is located in central-eastern Africa. You can make calls to Kenya using softphone apps such as Skype or Rebtel for a very low rate per minute. If you want to do it for free, then it would require the person on the other end of the line to have the application as well. There are also other ways to dial Kenya from a landline in the United States. If you are using a regular cell phone or telephone service and do not have free long distance on your phone plan, then you will most likely incur high rates when calling internationally.
