Video Phone Service by Ipvaani

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Thu, 14 May 2009 16:28:00 +0000

IPVaani is all set to launch a Video Phone Service to expand their reach as complete VOIP Provider. IPVaani already offers a Peer to peer IP based VOIP service which is widely used across the world.

IPVaani now adding a free VoIP phone service called IPDarshan. Using IPdarshan video phone service, subscribers can make and receive unlimited Free video phone calls
across the globe. IPdarshan video phone service delivers high-quality, full-motion video and audio over any broadband (Cable or DSL) Internet connection. We believe the internet speed should be minimum 512 Kbps without any packet loss for a good video quality.

IPDarshan doesn't need any setup and it has no monthly charges. There is however a one time price of $299.

As you may already know, IPVanni only offers Peer to Peer service that means its only within their network. IP to IP based services only work within the network, that means you can only call or video call with another IPVaani or IPDarshan uses. The Good thing however is you can take your phone with you anywhere in the world and use it. It carries the number with itself, its like any other SIP Phone.

IPDarshan like IPvanni comes with almost all important features of a VOIP service or a Video conference service.

FRee calling to india by voxofon

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Tue, 05 May 2009 05:24:00 +0000

VoxoFon is basically a cheap international call service although many VOIP Providers claim to offer cheap international call service its often costlier than other VOIP Providers. VoxoFon’s calling rates don’t really excite us at all. With almost 8 cents for USA to India calls on Phone to Phone is way too costly.

Voxofon offers free trial calls to a few destinations including India. That’s where you can actually use this free calling hack.

It asks for your phone number and the party’s number to dial. Se below picture.

Now the real hack begins here, The idea is to use more digits than your phone number. USA to India free trial call is only for 1 minute but with additonal number combination you can do as many calls as you want. Use your imagination.

Take Example:

First Call: USA number: + 18888888888 and India Number: +912225999999
Talk for 1 minute.

Second Call: Add any digit at the end of the number. USA number: + 188888888889. Don’t change India number. So now you have a new combination, Voxofon system won’t recognize that this is the same number and will let you make another call.

This way you can repeat as many numbers as you want. It really depends on how many numbers you can add after your phone number. At this time, you can add almost infinite. So Imagine, how many combinations you can make out of this.

For certain countries, the per call limit is higher than 1 minute, so you can expect to talk for long.

TalkTalk free phone calls from May onwards

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:43:00 +0000

News is that Talktalk a UK ISP will be offering free local calls anytime from 1st May. Talktalk customers can avail this offer to make free local phone calls.

TalkTalk will also be offering free calls to all 0845 and 0870 numbers from 2 June. The results and graphs have shown that about 70% of calls made in UK are local and telecom providers want to cash on this. So it is a great option to attract customers by providing them free local calls.

To make up for its cost, Taktalk has increased its standard line rental charges to GBP 11.25 a month. This will be effective from mid April.

Lets see what i offers..

VOIPax offering calls at 1 cents

Reliable offering cheap call rates to india

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 05:31:00 +0000

Though betamax companies are increasing their call rates to India, however we have found some alternatives for you. We promise you won't have to pay much for making voip calls to India.

Just like AirtelCallhome and Reliance India Call, Reliable Calling is offering 1 cent per minute calls to India. Reliable calling works just like other calling card providers like Airtel, Reliance, Trueroots.

Subscribe to this plan with $9.99 which includes rental charges of $3.99, for the remaining $ 6, you get 600 mins at 1cent/min using local access number and 260 mins using Toll Free access number.

Unlimited calls to landlines and cell phones by Betamax

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:41:00 +0000

We recently discussed about actionvoip, one of the cheapest VOIP Providers available however Betamax has just launched a new VOIP service called Telbo. Although, it seems that this service is by Dellmont Sarl. There is clearly a connection between Betamax and Dellmont Sarl. After a lot of bad publicity about the betamax brand, Betamax could be trying to rebrand themselves under the new name.

Lets leave that apart for now and look at what Telbo can offer. Telbo is mainly a unlimited VOIP service as they claim to offer unlimited calls from $1.00 onwards.

Telbo offers 2 packages,

1)Telbo.com Unlimited US & Canada: Unlimited calls to landlines and cell phones in the US and Canada for $1 per month. You can also call Guam and Puerto rico. The 3 and 12 months subscriptions also include a little credit so you can reach people outside of your subscription.

2)Telbo.com Unlimited World package: Unlimited calls to landlines in 36 countries worldwide. This does not include countries like India or Pakistan. Again, 3 and 12 month subscriptions plans are available.

You can always use Telbo to make calls at extremely competitive calling rates. Telbo charges 2 cents per minute to India.

As usual, Telbo comes with a FUP (Fair Usage Policy). We analysed some important points:

a) Calls to phones and mobiles are included in your subscription subject to a fair usage limit of 10,000 minutes per user per month, with a maximum of 6 hours per day.
b)no more than 50 different numbers in total can be called per day.
c) Once these limits are exceeded Telbo will charge normal rates and a connection fee for any additional minutes used.

10000 minutes per month in our opinion is a fair plan, which comes to more than 300 minutes per day.

How to use Telbo:
You can make calls using various methods such as Local access numbers, Phone to Phone. Unfortunately, Telbo doesn't offer SIP based VOIP service as their website doesn't provide any instruction to use SIP. however, if you ping sip.telbo.com it does give a response, so this could be working?

All we can say is $1 for 10000 minutes to USA/Canada is a good deal. $5.95 to 36 countries is definitely a good deal. The choice is yours.

If you are using Telbo VOIP service, do let everyone know your feedback and comments on Telbo.

3UK Launches SIM Card For Free Skype

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:38:00 +0000

3UK has deepened its relationship with Skype, with the telco rolling out free Skype calls in two stages: The first will start on May 1 when 3’s existing pay-as-you-go customers will not need to top up their credit to use Skype, and later 3 will sell SIM cards for £1.99 (US$2.92) which customers of other operators’ will be able to use to make free Skype calls on their unlocked 3G handsets. The free services include voice calling and instant messaging to other Skype users (ie, no data charges), but calls to landlines or standard mobile phone numbers will require payment—and it’s UK only reports ZDNet UK.

3UK CEO Kevin Russell said: “We believe that, once you come to 3 and use Skype, you will use other services on 3…We are targeting anyone who uses Skype today”. Many other telcos are banning Skype on their service, not agreeing with the argument that offering free or extremely cheap commoditized services will let companies profit from selling more valuable services—it will be interesting to see how 3 goes. Russell said that free Skype calls would help 3 differentiate the brand and the data traffic used would not be “significant relative to the investments [3 is] already making in mobile broadband”.

IDC analyst John Delaney gave some quotes at the briefing, saying that Skype calls would be unlikely to cannibalise voice revenue until the number of Skype-supporting phones increased significantly: “I’m pretty certain that most Skype calls at the moment go to PCs, so that doesn’t cannibalise voice revenues,” Delaney said. “As long as the user base remains relatively small, that makes sense [for 3].” Which is kind of like saying the service is great as long as it’s not successful. He didn’t think the Skype SIM card would entice people away from their current operators (why swap to 3 when you already get the free Skype?), but I think if people come to see the free Skype as a useful thing to have they may consider switching to 3 to avoid having to swap SIMs. Still, I agree with this Delaney comment: “The biggest benefit for 3 in all this is pissing other operators off”.

IS-VoIS better and cheaper than Skype

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:43:00 +0000

Internet Solutions (IS) recently launched its VoIS Anywhere mobile softphone application, enabling subscribers to make and receive voice calls with the use of a hand- or head-set and the IS softphone client installed on their laptop.

"The softphone connects to a corporate account and therefore incurs local corporate VoIP rates, even if the user is overseas. This has a huge cost implication for businesses that either deal with international clients or who have a workforce that travels extensively. Local telecommuters will enjoy this service too," said Greg Hatfield, VoIS Business Unit Manager at IS.

A question mark hung over whether IS's solution could compete effectively on price when compared to services such as Skype, but feedback from IS suggests that its VoIP product is certainly much cheaper than many current competitors.

"VoIS Anywhere is significantly cheaper than Skype. Skype charges €0.055 (approx. R0.68 excl. VAT) to call an SA fixed line destination, whereas the VoIS Anywhere rates range from approximately R0.35 to R0.55, depending on the destination called," says Hatfield.

"Skype's rate to a mobile phone is €0.189 (approxomately R2.30 excluding VAT), whereas the VoIS Anywhere rate starts at R1.25. Aside from Skype-to-Skype calls which are obviously free, their off-net prices are exorbitant."

Hatfield points out that the service is part of "the corporate bundle", which means that discounts on call rates apply based on total company usage volumes. "With Skype there is no room to negotiate - you are treated as an individual," said Hatfield.

Better usability
Hatfield points out that the difference between VoIS Anywhere and Skype is not only focused on the cost of the call, but also on the ease of use and administration. "The VoIS Anywhere software is treated as an extension of the corporate office, and as such it is billed as part of the integrated voice and data invoicing that IS provides."

"With Skype, users have to pre-pay for airtime with their own credit card online, and then submit expense claims for their usage a month later, and probably only receive their reimbursement a month after that. Skype's fixed monthly subscription service is not available in South Africa."

According to Hatfield Skype is a consumer service while VoIS Anywhere is a corporate service in "its technical design, its pricing, and critically, the service wrap."

The initial software cost starts at R250 per client, but this price drops rapidly based on the number of licenses purchased, usage volumes, and corporate discounts. "Even without discounts, R250 is rapidly recovered out of the savings on the minutes," says Hatfield.

vodafone-cheap calls to romania

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:41:00 +0000

Vodafone has quite a spread network all over the world. This news is from Vodafone Romania.
Vodafone Romania has had a price cut on the international tariff by 27%.

Vodafone prepay users can now make international calls to European fixed networks as well as Vodafone mobile networks and partner mobile networks at EUR 0.40 per minute, down 27 percent from the previous price of EUR 0.55 per minute.

Vodafone has also launched its plan named Vodafone Europa, enabling prepay customers to make international calls to other Vodafone customers across Europe, as well as to Vodafone partner mobile networks and European fixed networks for a reduced tariff of EUR 0.18, versus the previous price of EUR 0.24 per minute.

Truphone-Free Mobile VOIP Service

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 07:38:00 +0000

Truphone,once a great Free Mobile VOIP Service lost the ground when they stopped offering free mobile voip calls to 40 countries. However they are now back in the VOIP market with a flat monthly billing Unlimited Calling Package which included 40 countries around the world including India,Pakistan, bangladesh and many more.

If you don't know what TruPhone is, its basically a Mobile VOIP Service that means you need to have a Mobile which supports Wifi and SIP. Truphone also works over GPRS, but the call quality could be poor due to lack of bandwidth. Most latest Mobile Phones supports SIP and Wifi, mostly all N and E series Nokia phones do support SIP and VOIP Calling.

TruPhone's TruUnlimited Landline package starts at $17, however it does not include all the countries and calls are restricted to Landlines only. Don't worry, They also have a TruUnlimited Mobile package which offers unlimited calls to landlines + Mobiles in all the countries including India and most other asian countries.

You have two options to choose from:

TruUnlimited Landlines ($17)

Unlimited calls to landlines* in 38 countries worldwide. Call any time of the day, any day of the week. No long-term contract. Also includes unlimited calls to mobiles in 9 countries including the USA and China as a bonus!

TruUnlimited Mobiles ($40)

Along with unlimited calls to landlines* this plan includes unlimited calls to mobiles* in 69 countries, including the USA, the UK, Germany and China. Call any time of the day, any day of the week. No long-term contract.

How can i use TruPhone in my country?

Well there are mainly 4 ways to use TruPhone:

1) Truphone over Wifi- If you are in USA, Singapore, UK or most part of europe, you would find ample number of Wifi hotspots to connect to. This should be your preferred choice. Wifi is often Free, if not then cheap.

2) Truphone over 3G- 3G would be almost equivalent in call quality as Wifi. However, 3g data usage can make you poor overnight. 3G data cost in many countries are way high, so unless you have a unlimited 3G data package don't go for this option.

3) Truphone over GPRS: GPRS is poor man's wifi, especially in India where Wifi and 3G is not existent. Truphone works over GPRS, but no guarantee than you would hear the other party clearly and vice versa :-)

4) Truphone Anywhere: You have no option to call, no wifi, no 3G, no GPRS, nada nothing. What will you do? you can use Truphone anywhere. it Works seamlessly in the background, If you dial an international number, the call is redirected at the handset to a Truphone access number in your country, which connects to truphone server which in turn automatically completes your call to the international destination.

What you pay for

* Domestic rate GSM call to Truphone server in your home country.
(Please note that data connections will be needed for iPhone and BlackBerry)

* Low cost Truphone call to your international destination.

Does truphone cap number of minutes or per month call usage?

Yes, like everyone else. Truphone has Fair usage policy. You can make maximum 3,000 minutes call per month and all calls are subject to 60 minute call duration. If you consider, paying $40 for 3000 minutes, it works out to 1.3 cents per minute which is a good rate for calling India, Pakistan or Bangladesh.

If you signup for this package, do let us know your feedback so it helps everyone to make a decision. We are really excited to see mainstream VOIP Companies offering rock bottom prices for asian countries and making VOIP cheaper than traditional phones lines.

Aircel to hit Indian markets

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:10:00 +0000

Aircel has launched its services in 23 circles in India.

Malaysian based Maxis group is investing its money in Aircel (its vehicle here). Maxis has plans of launching it 3G services in India. Its a good plan to first get hold into the market and then expand.

Today, the TV advertisements, Newspaper ads are full of Aircel. This clearly shows how much importance they are giving to publicity.

Maxis will bid in the 3G autions as they see lot of potential in Indian 3G market. Aircel has launched its plans in Delhi with very cheap rates.

Aircel has very cheap calling plans and will surely make other providers to lower their call rates. Apart from rates, Aircel also offers many other features. We will soon cover a post talking about various calling plans and rates offered by Aircel.

Google blocks popular iPhone SMS app

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:14:00 +0000

Google will block an iPhone application that harnesses its Google Talk chat program to provide a free text-message service after too many users flocked to download it. The Infinite SMS app, which cost 99 cents and let users send unlimited text messages from an iPod or iPhone, quickly became one of the 10 most-downloaded apps in the iPhone Store after its release last month, developer Inner Fence said in a statement on its Web site.

But the company stopped sales of the app on Monday after Google notified it that the program would be blocked, Inner Fence said.

"Google has claimed no grievance with Infinite SMS other than its success. Their given reason for the block isn’t abuse or wrongdoing; it’s that we brought too many users (and thus too much cost) to an experimental service," Inner Fence said.

The company said it built the application using an open protocol made available by Google for just such a purpose. "We never could have guessed that the two of us would write an app too big for Google," the company's founders said.

Google said it would continue to offer free SMS through Google Talk, but it will block Infinite SMS and other non-Google clients that use the service to deliver text messages starting on Wednesday.

"Infinite SMS is a third party app that has been using Google technology to provide free SMS to users, while we were paying for the cost of the text messages," a Google spokesman said via e-mail.

Skype has finally released SILK

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 05:08:00 +0000

Skype VOIP has slowly popping out from their shell and opening up their propietary audio codecs to the entire VOIP industry. Skype has been known to keep their award winning audio codecs private. We all know that Skype has some great in house audio codecs which can deliver great sound quality at much lower bandwidth usage but it wasnt readily available for third party integration.

Skype has finally released SILK, a New Skype-designed and developed default audio codec for all Skype-to-Skype calls. SILK is currently used in the latest version of Skype. If you don't have latest skype version, I strongly suggest you download one, its way better than older version and has superior audio quality.

Skype claims that with SILK, a super wideband audio codec it redefines the entire VOIP market by giving the best audio quality on VOIP calls with almost 50% less bandwidth usage.

What did they achieve with SILK codec:

-improved audio bandwidth going from 8 kHz to 12 kHz, meaning that a SILK conversation sounds like you are in the same room as the person you are speaking with. SILK can go upto 24 Khz.
-provides real-time bandwidth scalability to deal with degraded network conditions

-balancing codec optimization between voice, music and background noise, each of which can have an impact on the overall user experience.

-delivering a robust solution that delivers a more consistent audio experience, regardless of network conditions and an individual user’s voice signature

Skype is now expecting that industry and third party application developers will adopt SILK as a standard in wideband audio. SiLK is available for FREE. It would be interesting to see SILK adoption with Trixbox, Asterix and the likes with wideband hitting the entire VOIP world.

Nokia Looking for 3G

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 11:28:00 +0000

Nokia and Verizon will surprisingly get to work together on a new touchscreen device that will run on the upcoming 4G LTE network. Experience is the best teacher more often than not, and after seeing both parties' financial books hurt by AT&T's successful exclusive deal with the iPhone, both Nokia and Verizon hope to lead the charge where next generation wireless technology is concerned in an exclusive partnership. We have no idea on what this phone will be or look like, but it is encouraging to see the Finnish cell phone manufacturer do its best to stay ahead of the curve. A clear departure from the way Nokia does things as they normally don't tie themselves down to just one carrier, but extraordinary times calls for extraordinary measures.

Nymgo offering cheap calling packages allover

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 07:10:00 +0000

Nymgo, a UK voip provider was launched last year only and with such amazing cheap calling packages it gained too much publicity and users have increased to great extent.

Nymgo offers unlimited calling packages and Pay as you go plan.(cheap calls to India under pay as you go plan).

However, the world package offered by Nymgo is remained undiscussed on many voip blogs.

Belgium
Netherlands
Canada (Landline and mobile)
Norway
Denmark

Greece
Sweden
Hungary

I guess this package is also very good for people who run a international business matching the need to call various countries under one plan. We have already discussed about using Nymgo Pc to Phone calling service as well as making voip Phone to Phone calls using SIP.

The effective rate under this plan comes to just .14 cents per minutes (hey its 1.49 cents its 0.149 cents .

Unlimited Voip Service for Nepal

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 08:31:00 +0000

Worldlink, ISP from Nepal has launched a new voice-over-internet (VOIP) service called D2D, charging Rs 500 per month excluding VOIP Adapter which you need to run this service. A subscriber requires two VOIP devices (provided by WorldLink), and an account to use the Device-to-Device VOIP service. Each device costs Rs 4,500, while those without a router cost Rs 4,000.For Rs 500 per month you can call the other end. The talk-time is unlimited. The service works on a broadband of a minimum 64 kbps. Another ISP, WebSurfer, has also launched VOIP services. The service can be availed at Rs 4,000 for the VOIP device and a call to US would cost around Rs 2 per minute. I do not know how Nepal ISP block or allow SIP, however if they are asking you to buy two VOIP Adapters for 4000Rs and then connect them at both end and also pay Rs. 500 per month, they are cheating on you. This is pure SIP. you can get any SIP Adapter/VOIP adapter such as Linksys PAP2 from amazon for only $53 Buy 2 of these and connect one at your place and one at the other party where you want to call. Now you can make unlimited calls to each other and no need to pay Rs. 500 to worldlink

MTNL Launches JAADU : India's first 3G service in Delhi

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:39:00 +0000

Hi,

The newly launched India's first 3G service in Delhi is - MTNL Jaadu.

MTNL has launched its 3G service in Delhi and has named it Jaadu. With the launch it has become the first telecom operator in the country to launch third generation (3G) mobile services. But the service is on the expensive side as mobile users in Delhi will have to pay a one-time fee of Rs 500 as activation charges and a monthly rental of Rs 599.

Apart from this monthly rental, mobile users would have to pay for their phone calls.

For Voice calls -

From MTNL mobile to other network - Rs 1/min.
From MTNL network to MTNL network - Rs .60/min.

For video calls -: MTNL charges vary between Rs 3 and Rs 1.80 a minute.

Customers can also get video streaming applications such as “Live TV”, movie downloads on their mobile handsets. Subscribers will have to pay Rs 5 for each MB download. For using 3G service in your mobile, you only require a 3G enabled handset. (I guess many of you must be having it).

Now talking about the Voip part in the launched 3G service. One will be able to use voip for making cheap international phone calls. MTNL is charging Rs 3/minute from mobiles to more than 100 countries including Europe, the US and Canada. In comparison, international calls on private operators’ network costs about Rs 6 a minute. MTNL is able to offer lower tariffs because it routes the call through the Internet network.

Well the calling rates for both video calls, and international phone calls using voip ae not at all cheap. We have blogged about so many voip providers offering free calls to those 100 countries including Europe, the US and Canada.

I guess at present, if you are willing to spend this much money then you can opt fo MTNL 3G service but if you can wait for sometime then you would be getting much cheaper services. (When more 3G providers comes to market). Till then better make use of our Free PC to Phone calling ways to free international phone calls.

Please post your queries about 3G service or any other, we will be more willing to answer all your problems.

Now calling from abroad to India is absolutely free using "IPvaani" VoIP phone service. With IPvaani, you can make phone calls to anywhere in the world and talk as long as you want for free.

Computer not required for making free calls. Just you need Internet broadband connection, normal phone and IPvaani adapter at both ends. No monthly or hidden charges.

People in abroad use "Calling cards" to make phone calls to India. But parents in India may not know how to use "Calling Cards" or other free services using computer. But WITH IPvaani phone service, parents in India can call to abroad and they can stay connected like a land line phone. IPvaani voice clarity is very good compared with calling cards.

Even you can make free phone calls using computer and any VoIP software like Yahoo voice chat, Google talk, and Skype.
But for parents in India it may be difficult to use PC, mike, software, and headset. But to use IPvaani service computer not at all required.
making phone calls using IPvaani is as simple as making call using land line phone.

There are many options available in market, but they have different plans like monthly charges or per minute cost. Best part of IPvaani is no monthly charges or hidden charges for service.

In addition, there is another big misconception in India about VoIP-many people believe it is illegal. However, that's not the case.

IPvaani is growing at a fast rate. In fact, majority of the Indian families are using IPvaani service in USA, UK, Canada and Australia, to talk with their friends and families in India. Find out how you can make free calls at www.IPvaani.com and find out what you've been missing

SkyWi, Inc. Announces Intent to Sell VoIP Operations to Telekenex

noreply@blogger.com (Sam) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 16:36:00 +0000

SkyWi, Inc. today announced signing a Memorandum of Understanding to sell all its VoIP operations to Telekenex, Inc., a well established 15 year-old national VoIP provider based in California.

The objective of this transaction is to take SkyWi's and One Connect IP's valued customers out of the middle of the conflict between SkyWi and Qwest that has resulted in significant service disruptions. Telekenex is on the New Mexico PRC's agenda in Santa Fe on Thursday February 5, 2009 to describe the plan and to request the PRC's assistance in ensuring a quick and orderly transition to the Telekenex network without any additional service disruptions. The companies plan on closing the sale quickly upon receiving satisfactory assurances that the customers' continuity will be supported by the PRC on Thursday, and that Qwest will work with Telekenex and SkyWi to complete a timely transition of service to Telekenex's network and systems without any further disconnections during that period.

SkyWi and Telekenex have planned a seamless transition that will provide customers with more services over a larger national footprint without any loss of current functional capabilities. "Our only concern is through the next 30-45 day transition period that Qwest will allow for and help facilitate in good faith a timely transfer of underlying physical circuits without damaging our customers' communications connectivity," said SkyWi CEO Allen Witters. "SkyWi regrets exiting a business we have invested millions of dollars in, but this transaction will protect our customers," Mr. Witters went on to say. Anthony Zabit, founder and COO at Telekenex commented, "It's very unfortunate that the business conflicts between Qwest and SkyWi have resulted in severe disruptions in service for thousands of people in New Mexico, Utah and Idaho, but at Telekenex we are excited about the opportunity to further expand our customer base and are prepared to commit all our resources and experience to removing all the customers from this conflict by managing a quick and seamless transition to our network."
