Thats true , but i fear cops.

And thanks indyan for the link. You clarified my doubt.

So I think I can use software and make free calls,isn't it??
Theres no harm

[True Geek]

It says that Anyone can recharge there balance just by refering to there friends about it.

http://www.globe7.com/referafriend.php

In that case I have many friends.
And I can make many friends within minutes :twisted: :twisted:

In that case I will be using this for many hours..........
So my question is Won't the cops/telephone department try to catch me in this case??? Since I'll be using it extensivly.

Cops won't hv a proof tht u have pirated s/w

but i dont think its illega.

Man if it was not illegal then Reliance, Bharti and other companies are fool not for implementing them in market.

And Reliance was fined and asked to stop Reliance India Call. This service was provided by Reliance to customers outside India to make call to India only because they were hiding the Origin of caller to save money(Access Deficit Charge).

[nishant_nms]

And nowadays regualrly PCO using this method to place calls are raided and even their owners are jailed

[grinning_devil]

lol....i was abt to use this service!!!
anyways its more easy to get caught doing this(if they want to) rather than downloading pirated stuff thru torrents etc...

iam going to stay away frm it even if its 50-50 chance of getting caught!!

[Chindi_Chor]

Givin.. net .. Connection to Home Is Illegal.... :lol:

[grinning_devil]

Give net .. Connection to Home Is Illegal.... :lol:

:evil: :evil:

[True Geek]

Rediff says it's legal.It was previously illgeal.But i think recently they changed the laws.
Also the free calls can not be made inside India :(

[teknoPhobia]

It is no longer illegal, it used to be before 2001... BSNL's lobbying didn't work... now it is legal... The whole problem was because bsnl/vsnls bottom line would get very badly affected if ppl switched to VoIP for international calls... but the government finally saw sense... it's been legal for quite some time now

[QwertyManiac]

Obv. yes, but only if they detect you and dont go drinking tea instead...

[grinning_devil]

use it sparingly....like once in a while and i guess nothing will happen...use it for 20/12 hours per day and u'll surely be getting into limelight..!!

[saiaspire]

Nice Software, thnks to whoever posted this~!

[indian_blues]

so it means the internet charge will be skyrockted?.....i've have a bad feeling that the calls may add extra charge in net bill :confused:

[Rollercoaster]

ha ha ha..
imagin indian police arresting you for using VOIP on PC. they dont know the diff between a TV and a Monitor.
ROFLOL

[JGuru]

I think PC to Phone calling is illegal here in India. I read that Rediff article some time
back. If it's allowed BSNL would lose millions!! That's why they don't allow it.

[jmit]

abe kyun tension lete ho... use karo aur ash marooooooo......

[khansdream]

Nice thread for me to come back...!!!!!!!

Well, I am using Globe 7 for last 30 days. And saved thousands of bucks, its fine service, a lil lag while calling on cell but rest are fine.

Regarding legal or illegal, well, its is Legal until you don't misuse it. I guess some guys want to make sure b4 misusing it, so beware it can also be traced, just in case of serious crime.

[Ishan]

Hey..it says 100 mins....but actually it gives $1 account and the money will be used according to call rates...see on the sites...in india it costs more than calling in USA....I am using globe since 8-10 months

[plsoft]

Yup Ishan u r rite it's $1 a/c. I just installed after reading this thread. I have a 128 kbps airtel connection, called my bros cell phone n i noticed dat the voice reaches late in the receiving end. Moreover, my father cautioned me the ISP's might charge for the service (just being cautious). Is there any way they can do dat?

[Ishan]

@plsoft
No, the ISP's are charging nothing for that..and not even the recievers are charged anything for the calls..I have tested everything...and am using it since long...ALso happy with it..

And abt delay...KUCH PANE KE LIYE KUCH KHONA PADTA HAI...
Ya..and solve this prob I tell the recievers in the beginning only to wait for my voice..and then reply...

Those who know this already..and and are quite..cool and understanding can nicely talk to me...else make a mess..But after all it is free na...who bothors abt time..Keep calm and complete ur wrk on phone...

But 1 ADVICE...
If u have some imp work like calling some higher authorities of any institutes or colleges or ur boss....then it would be better to call them thru ur phone...as it may annoy them.Enjoy!

[PrinceHeart]

What's the matter with indian government. Anything which is not Indian is illegal here in India. Same like Gandhiji's theory. Quit bristish cloths. wow !!

US guys are using these types of VOIP everyday for free, each day/week/month and year even. India is said to be a developing country. But i really doubt if india is developing at all. Lots of indian guys are going out, cause indian is worst when it comes to tech stuffs/jobs/softwares/hardwards and so.. on, the list is too long for me to type. Well u guys know what im trying to say. And about the indian government, I don't know what they are trying to control - The indian population or they are scared that the indian ppl are getting more and more wiser everyday, not like those village ppl many years ago.

Well.. after my exams this month, maybe i will try to make my own VOIP/messenger program. Anyone willing to help ? Can't be that hard right ?

[indian_blues]

what are the illegal things can be done with globe7?

is there is anyway i can get unlimited 1$ account?

[icecoolz]

indian_blues: Why do you want to know that info ? Sounds extremely suspicious to me. Provide the reasoning for such a question please.

[indian_blues]

oops sorry i should framed that ques in different way. dude i need lots of 1$ account to talk to a special friend who is in abroad...thats y i asked that. damn who cares to do illegal things with globe7. if u can help regarding this do pm me. cheers mate. :)

[Prashad]

I have been using globe for a long time i never ever thought about legality.
It is working well .it means its legal!!!!!!

[Ishan]

I think it has stopped providing us with free 1 dollar
