VOIP hack-Free Calls to more than 40 countries

VOIP hack-Free Calls to more than 40 countries

 

 

 

In my recent articles, i have been constantly updating readers with the new VOIP service providers offering FREE calls to various destinations around the world.

I will definately consolidate the list to make it a quick read.

Now lets look at the new VOIP provider who assured to connect your call FREE to more than 40 countries.

Free Call Planet offers a FREE call (from US Landline, means local call charged) to about 40 odd destinations such as china, UK, Singapore, Germany, Mexico, USA, Australia etc. For full country list, Check their website.

If you are in USA and want to Pay for the local calling charge...then this is how you do it.
  1. Dial one of the numbers :1712-429-8888 or 1712-338-8288 or 1641-297-8888
  2. When the gateway answers, enter your International destination phone number using 011 for international calls and 1 + Area Code for calls to the US, Canada or Guam.
e.g to call UK landline you will dial: 011442526451212 (011 is access code, 44 country code, 252 area code and then landline number).
011 is common for all numbers its their access code must be prefixed for all numbers.
3. Wait a few moments for your call to ring through and then enjoy your free call.
(Mobile users: DO NOT HIT SEND or the green call button to avoid mobile charges. Also do not pull your phone number from your phone’s address book as it will automatically dial your call over the mobile carrier’s network instead.)

Now you must be blaming me that i was a fool to mention thats it a FREE call, when its only for US residence and additionally they will be charged a local calling charge. You are WRONG.
I discovered a HACK for this. Read this hack very carefully.

Even if you are not in USA, You can still make calls using this service.

  1. Read my article on making calls with VOIPcheap
  2. Download Voipcheap
  3. Install & register the app. (Read the article for registering from VOIPcheap available countries hack)
  4. Now you can make calls to USA free of cost.
  5. Just dial 1712-429-8888 or 1712-338-8288 or 1641-297-8888
  6. You will be connected to Free call planet gateway.
  7. Now follow instructions for US callers (see above)
  8. You can make calls successfully.

Jajah offers FREE Call within Germany and Austria

Jajah offers FREE Call within Germany and Austria

 

 

Another step foward from what they were doing, Jajah is now started offering call within Germany and Austria free of cost.

according to Jajah, this arrangement reaches about 100 million people. Jajah has tied up three big companies in europe mainly,

1) Pro7/Sat1 - Germany's largest television station reaching 80 million viewers.
2) Bild-T Online - Germany's largest Newspaper.
3) News-Austria - Austria's largest media company.

Each company will be incorporating the Jajah application into its web sites,. The only difference is the call will now be supported with advertising. however its not very clear how the advertising will be run.

Will it be a voice ad or banner ad? I think it will be voice ad run every time you make a call.

VoipBuster to giveaway unlimited FREE CALLS for 1 Euro

VoipBuster to giveaway unlimited FREE CALLS for 1 Euro

 

 

Betamax releases almost one new company every two months or so, the latest one was lowratevoip. Voipbuster is however one of the oldest of this whole bunch.

Ultimately to hammer down their biggest competitor, they have taken a pretty bold step to attack Skype right in their head. Their current campaign on almost all betamax provider websites such as voipcheap, lowratevoip etc is "skype increased the rate, its time to switch to Voipcheap or voipbuster and so on. The campaign might be different on other websites but the idea is the same.

I wouldn't really want to talk much about their anti-skype campaigns, so lets forget it for the time being, unless its inspires me and deserves a post.

So getting back to the topic, Voipbuster is about to release a new PRO version of their software. According to them, Voipbuster Pro will be the easiest and most affordable way to get the best out of Voipbuster. This all-in-one package will be launching very soon for just €1 per month.
With Skype Pro you can ONLY make national calls for €0 per minute, but with Voipbuster Pro you can make NATIONAL as well as INTERnational calls for €0 per minute!

Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!!! if thats true, it would be interesting to see if they giveaway FREE Calls to countries such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other countries known to have fascistVOIP regulations. If it will come into reality, it will definitely become a big hit. 1 euro per month for a unlimited call is worth, a certain free minutes of Gizmocall each day :-)

Currently gizmocall is the best bet though, if you haven't tried it. Go for it

Fring inviting VOIP Provider Partnerships

Fring inviting VOIP Provider Partnerships

 

 

Fring is now taking a interesting way forward towards becoming a Mobile VOIP application with multi VOIP provider partnerships. It was about time for them to start providing more focussed services through partnerships rather than directly competing with otherMobile VOIP operators such as Truphone.

One of the things they’ve just come up with is the fring Affiliate Program (which means Fring is happy to have almost any one as fring partner).

The program gives players such as SIP, Broadband VoIP ISPs & WiFi providers, a way to offer their services easily to mobile phone users. In return, it allows our partners & fring users to use their account seamlessly and without any manual configuration.

If you are one of the VOIP providers who would like to new customers or extend your service to Mobile VOIP market, this is a great opportunity to work with best mobile voip application developer, Fring.

You can join "Fring Partner Program" through their Partner Page.

It’s another example of fring’s openness and freedom. Anyone can come and play and offer fring’s freedom of choice to their customers. This is seriously a great way to expand your customer base. Fring will also promote your service on their partner pages.

Lingo 3 months FREE VOIP service coupon

Lingo 3 months FREE VOIP service coupon 

 

 

We received confirmed news that Lingo VOIP 3 months FREE Service coupon code is set to expire on 8th March. That's only 4 days to go. After 4 days, you will no longer get the same promotion. You will not only have to more but you would not get 3 months totally free service.

If you want to check out the review of the service, We reviewed Lingo VOIP last month. Lingo VOIP has good reputation and its no non-sense service. Offers good old VOIP telephony at affordable rates.

totally free voice conferencing

Boom. It gives a US conference phone number along with access code that each participant need to use for a teleconference call.
Take a look at the screenshot, they immediately offered me with a Dial in number and a Access code#.
Now you guys must be wondering, if this can only be used in USA. Not neccesarily, you can use it from anywhere in the world. However you need to useVOIP clients such as iCall or Voipcheap
This way you can connect to the Conference number FREE of cost and then use the access code to enter conference. This conference can be better than the traditional yahoo messenger conference which needs you to hold the mouse over the TALK button in order to talk. It becomes messy when you have more than 2-3 members. You know what i mean.
The best part is this service allows 96 concurrent users in a conference, which is so cool for a large group meetings or meetups.

Voip Predictive Dialer - Build your Call Center

Today, I will be discussing about Call centers and how small businesses can run a call center with voip predictive dialer. I have always been fascinated by how VOIP can empower some of the industries, especially the upcoming call center and BPO industry which relies heavily on "Making and receiving calls". A fraction of delay or missed call can cost some $$ to the industry. The Industry is no more in the seed stage and it has grown faster than industry analyst expected. add to Banier  

Although call centers are still costly to maintain, operate or even outsource. Big companies can afford to pay the price but the small companies are often stuck with in-house calling facilities. The in-house call facilities are however not up-to the mark. However with Voip Predictive dialer the picture might be different in near future. People can build their own call center with a easy to use Voip predictive dialer.

Now you must be wondering What is a Predictive dialing? Predictive dialing is simply automating the outbound dialing process to effectively manage your calls with little or no manual intervention. Voip predictive dialer basically does the same thing with VOIP technology as backbone.

some of the common Features in Voip predictive dialer:

  • Multiple campaigns can be run simultenously.
  • Auto-Transfer calls between agents (based on availability)
  • Auto-dialing to customers
  • Auto-Scanning Voice Mail system and auto-dialing the missed call numbers
  • Call Logging, recording and management
On top of this, the predictive system can be easily integrated with your exisiting CRM system making it easier to control and store data related to your customers. There are many providers who also offer predictive dialing bundled with their CRM products . Although if you buy a standard Voip Predictive dialer, it will cost you anything from $300 ++, which isn't really a great cost considering you will be able to manage your customers more effectively and data mining could be more relevant.


Most predictive dialers provide most robust, feature-rich, and innovative predictive dialer on the market today. Built on the latest technologies, this cutting-edge call center solution combines sophisticated VoIP predictive dialing capabilities with a comprehensive lead management system. So, call centers of all sizes can achieve immediate value – operating more efficiently and cost-effectively, while boosting sales, market share, and profits.

Imagine running your business with your own call center like only Cisco or Nortel can think of. You can do it yourself.
In my next series of this article, I will be comparing voip predictive dialer available in the market based on their cost and features.

voip Free international Call - How to FAQ

Free international Call - How to FAQ

This is the second series of the FAQ I posted some days back. I had been receiving numberous emails/comments from visitors all across the globe. Almost all of them asking for free international call to/from their country.

Although, Free international calls to various countries is still not possible. I will try my best to include countries which are most popular among my visitors or they recently asked for.
Update: Rebtel currently offering Double your money promotion with VOIP Guide exclusively, : Go Take this offer today

Question1: I want to make free international calls to Bangladesh. I live in Malaysia. Can you help?

Answer: Currently Bangladesh is tightening their rules and trying to keep VOIP under a tight regulation. However there is a service which can help you till the market is isolated by the government. The solution is to use Low rate voip

Question2: I am a small businessman in India and have some clients in USA & Canada. I am currently using IDD or Calling cards and sometimes messengers to communicate. But my business requires regular interaction. Can you give me any solution to make free international call to USA & Canada?

Answer: You can make free calls to USA & Canada from India. This is not limited to India but available to all other countries. The solution is to use iCall

Question 3: I am in singapore but my parents live in Argentina, Can i make free calls to argentina? Additionally, is it possible to call Brazil?

Answer: If you live in singapore, you have a added advantage. Singapore is known to a totally FREE VOIP country with minimal regulations for VOIP and telecommunications. One of the most advanced telecom countries in the world to say the least. That means you can make and receive calls in Singapore on landline and mobile both for free. Now coming back to your question, You can call argentina using Voipcheap, voip discount, voipstunt etc.

Question 4: Is it possible to make free calls to India? This was asked by almost 100 odd people over email :-) & Why India is never listed under Free calling destinations?

Let me first answer the second interesting question. India is a traditional telecom country with one of the most stringent regulations. On top of it, it's dominated by the local telcos such as BSNL, MTNL and in private sector, Bharati, Essar & Reliance. There are billions of dollars at stake in the telcom industry which these big punters dont want to give away for FREE. Afterall, they want to cash on your pockets as much as they can till freevoip becomes evident and a household name. At the same time, Government makes every attempt not to promote VOIP and benefit the telcos. You know why dont you :-)

Now, what about making free international calls to India? I would say YES and No both. Why no? Because its not possible to make free calls to india, since indian telecom companies charge the VOIP companies for terminating a call on landline or mobile in india. That sucks but it's true. Then you must be wondering how come there are providers who still offerfree calls to India. Yes, there are some providers such as Gizmocall who offer free international calls to india. They basically operate in deep pockets and pay off for the termination charge from other paid service. Trust me this model falls off once the difference is huge. But till its there, you can use Gizmocall to make free calls to India


Question 5: I want to make free international call to russia & Czech Republic. Do you know any voip providers offering free calls to russia and czech republic?

Yes, Voipcheap & VoipDiscount offers free calls to Russia Landline. Similarly, they offer free international calls to Czech Republic landline only.

Question 6: I am in India and have aunt in UK, England. Since we have IDD at home, My parents always call her. However the charges are heavy for a IDD call. It seems you have some solution for free international call to UK. Can you share?

UK is another country, owned by local telcos. I mean literally, 02 (BT), orange and T-mobile owns the mobile market and have always charged hefty termination charge for international calls. However, Voipcheap, Mediaring allows free international calls to UK landline only.

I hope the above Question Answer FAQ session has answered most of the queries directed to me on emails/comments on this blog.

You can drop comments if you want any specific answers or if you are looking for free international in your country. I will try to find a solution for you as i always do.

If you would like to share your experiences about VOIP, Please send me your review on ut(dot)godmode(at)gmail.com. If i like your review, It will be featured on this blog. You can send in your picture aong with it :-)
