Thumbs up How to: Free calls to regular USA, UK, Can etc. phones! Read it! Absolutely Amazing!

Hi guys!

I found a really awesome thing on the internet! You can make free calls to any regular phones in USA, UK, Canada etc. This is a VoIP service and I have practically used it! The clarity is "crystal clear" with absolutely no lag! I called my friend in the Seattle, WA for free using this service! I am posting this so that I could share this news with all digit members!

All you have to do is visit: www.voipcheap.com and download the software (everything is free, dont worry) and register as a user once you have installed the software.

Its great!

Oh, and for those who think I am spamming, this website is not mine. So, I am not promoting it! I am not some re seller or I dont get anything out of it! I am just sharing a bit of news. Thats it!

Enjoy!

@ saurabh.sauron: I dont think it will affect your clarity. But, you might experience some lag.

@khin007: I hope you liked it! But, there is a small problem. If you want to make unlimited free calls, you need to buy $10 credit! Otherwise, it gets disconnected in a minute. But, its still worth it! Once you pay $10 (Rs.460 approx.) you can make unlimited calls. Its pretty cool. You will save up tonnes on ISD bills! And the credit lasts for 6 months!

@ Vyasram: This is not illegal! Its absolutely legal. Even Skype will offer such a service from the end of this year. But, Skype will only offer it to people within the USA. So, for us, this is the best option!

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!

A ques for members--

What will be cheaper---
1. A phone call within ur state by ur landline.
2. A phone call by this soft using ur Dial-Up.

If the 2nd opt is cheap...Is this because BSNL has 7.5min for a single call, unlike the landline where a call is of short duration..

@nitish_mythology: Did you call an Indian landline? If so, you cannot call unless you buy credit. You dont need to buy it if you called an American landline.

thanks nagarjun,

I live in canada and i think this will be very good for me.Though there are many companies providing these services but they charge money (but i can call anywhere in the world). Since this one is free, its awesome.
appreciate it,
