Beyond Barriers. Beyond Words. Beyond What’s Possible.

We help the world speak as one

Cast your mind back to 2008. What did technology look like then? Movie nights began with the glow of a DVD menu. Finding the right song meant untangling wired earphones first. Smartphones were just emerging, and social media hadn’t yet become a second reality.

Today, it all feels like second nature—because someone, at some point, had that one good idea. And then refused to give up.

The vision that propels us forward

The story of Vasco began with a simple yet ambitious question: How can we help the world speak with one voice? Breaking language barriers required more than technology—it demanded the courage to pursue an idea long before the world was ready for it. The paths we chose years ago soon became the direction of the entire industry. And ever since, we’ve continued to push the limits of communication—one revolution at a time.

Do voice, text, or photo translations feel obvious today? To us, that’s the highest form of recognition.

From past breakthroughs to future revolutions

One innovation after another

Every breakthrough starts the same way: idea, challenge, solution. When an obstacle seemed impossible, we reminded ourselves why we began. And then we watched another barrier fall—word by word.

Perhaps it’s because the challenge was so demanding that it deserved our full attention.

Free unlimited Internet

We were the first—and we’re still the only ones. With Vasco you can enjoy unlimited Internet in nearly 200 countries, activated the moment you land. Built-in SIM card included, with no limits, and no expiry date.

Phone Call Translation

The ability to translate phone calls in dozens of languages can genuinely simplify life. Whether you’re changing a hotel booking, calling for roadside help, or speaking with an international client, communication is always within reach.

Automatic Mode

Vasco automatically identifies the other person's words and begins translating. It's the ideal solution for those with their hands occupied—or anyone who simply wants to converse without thinking about the device.
