sorry for giving wrong info, it is legal
Quote:
Despite rumours to the contrary, PC-to-PC Internet telephony was never illegal. You could always use software to voice chat from one PC to another on the Internet.
What the Indian government did not allow was PC-to-phone Internet telephony.
Yes. There are services on the Inernet like dialpad.com, hottelephone.com and mediaring.com that allow you to purchase talk time and then use their software to make calls to phones across the world by using your PC and Net connection. But these are illegal to use in India and the authorities have been trying to block it with some success.
But from April 1, 2002, the Indian government will lift the ban on PC-to-phone Internet telephony allowing private companies to take this dramatic and cheap technology to the people.
This means that you can use a PC at home or in a cyber cafe or any new gadget that allows you to access the Internet and dial to any phone number anywhere in the world!
