LocalPhone Pakistan Call rates Increase and Middle East rates dropped

LocalPhone Pakistan Call rates Increase and Middle East rates dropped

Well, here is some news from Localphone. As we all know Localphone was running a June Promotion in which it was offering 15% call rate deductions to many countries. However this promotion will come to end tomorrow 30th June !

LocalPhone new rates will be active to Middle East countries and I can see some rate drop. Check the snippet below showing the latest calling rates offering by localphone to middle east countries.



Well there is one more news from Localphone. Localphone and many other voip providers are forced to increase call rates to Pakistan in response to actions taken by the Pakistani Government. Effective from 00:00 GMT on 1st July localphone rate to Pakistan will be $0.109 / £0.076 / €0.089 per minute to both landlines and mobiles.

Due to a rise in the cost of terminating international calls in Pakistan, their suppliers have had to increase the rate they charge, and localphone is forced to do the same. LocalPhone mentions that it will in fact make less profit by offering these calls and that this situation is entirely unavoidable.

Lets see how other voip provider react to this situation and will others also increase their calling rates ? Will we be seeing more costlier voip calls to Pakistan ?

For more information, visit LocalPhone.

Update : Localphone is running a promotional offer. When you sigh up with $1 credit, you will get $2.5 credit. That's additional $1.5 credit as bonus.

(No expiry of credit, good voice quality, and sign up for free - 1st call also free. Add credit as low as $1 plus get $1.5 bonus).

Facetime for iPhone4 : Make free video calls

Facetime for iPhone4 : Make free video calls

I was looking for some older posts and just realized I have not covered a post on Apple iPhone application Facetime. Well, as you all know iPhone4 was launched sometime back and its most distinguishing feature is Facetime !!

Apple iPhone is one of the most popular phones available in the market and Apple has always been trying to launch some great features. Facetime is just one of such feature. Using this application you can make free video calls from your Apple iPhone4 to other Apple iPhone4 ! These free video calls are made using Wifi. So as long as you are connected to Wifi you can make free video calls using your iPhone4.

But if you have no friends, or simply no friends with an iPhone 4, Apple's got your back if you're looking for a chum to test that curiously intriguing FaceTime feature. Just dial up 1-888-FACETIME. Apple employee will be there in a moment to "show you the basics and a few advanced tips." Help line's only open from 8AM to 8PM CDT.

The best part is that you can make free international video calls directly over wifi using your iPhone4.

Google Voice for everyone : No invite required

Google Voice for everyone : No invite required

Well, Google voice came last year with a bang. Already, there are 1 million people with Google Voice accounts. Initially it started offering its voip service only with invitation. Google acquired the core Google Voice technology in mid-2007 when it bought a company called GrandCentral. At the time, Google closed new sign-ups for the GrandCentral service. Some time back it started offering its voip service to students without invitation.

Now google voice is offering its voip service to everyone without any invitation. Google voice is a web-based platform for managing your communications. It introduced one number to ring all your phones, voicemail that works like email, free calls and text messages to the U.S. and Canada, low-priced international calls and more ! And now google voice goes public, no invitation.

The thing here to notice is Google Voice is still limited to everyone in the U.S. for now and not for everyone internationally. So, all the people in US could use Google voice to make free calls to the U.S. and Canada, to send free text messages.

Free International Calling from South Africa

Free International Calling from South Africa

Well, FIFA world cup is here in South Africa and we have voip offers flowing there. So many voip providers have started offering some of the good deals to make free voip calls from South Africa.

IndiaLD (which was offering 0.7 cents per min to India) started their service Callstar so that you can make free international calls from South Africa. Yes you can make free calls to India from South Africa. Below is the mail which I received from IndiaLD officials about Callstar.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Callstar offers free international calling from South Africa to over 50 countries including India. The site is http://www.callstar.co.za. This service is two weeks old now and growing very quickly.

Call Star offers geographic access numbers in Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town. These numbers can be called from landlines or mobile phones. Users pay a local rate to call our access numbers and then get to make a free internatioonal call to 50 countries. When compared to direct dialing India from Telkom, our service is 59% cheaper.

We have not confirmed this directly, but our customers tell us that our access numbers are included in the Telkom Closer 1 and 2 plans which offer free calling during nights and weekends. Even if you are not on a Telkom Closer plan, the cost to call our access numbers is very reasonable and represents a substantial savings over direct dialing international numbers or using a calling card. Peak/Off Peak rates to call our numbers from a Telkom landline are .0157/.0096 ZAR per second, exclusive of VAT.

Unlike some other South African free calling services, our numbers are not 0875 VOIP rated numbers which bill at standard and expensive VAS rates. The additional benefit of using a geographic number is that the call quality is much better than trying an 0875 rated number. We get some very good connection rates and call times, especially to India. In fact, we are using the same carriers as IndiaLD for our calls so you know that the quality is there.

South Africa has a large Indian community and Call Star is a great way for them to stay in touch without spending a lot of money.

Our free calling destinations include India, the UK, the USA, Canada, and China along with 50 other countries. We are in the process of expanding our free calling destinations and will add Bangladesh shortly.

CallingCredit.com : Cheap Voip Phone Calls

CallingCredit.com : Cheap Voip Phone Calls

Today lets discuss about another delmont sarl (betamax ??) voip provider callingcredit.com . Not very sure but this service has been launched recently and is making some buzz.

As like with other betamax providers Callingcredit.com is also offering very cheap international calling rate at present. CallingCredit.com is very similar to a calling card where you have to dial access number.

Presently CallingCredit.com is offering calls to India mobile at 0.5 eurocents approx $0.007 per min. Less than one cent per minutes - one of the lowest prices. So those looking for very cheap rates, callingcredit is worth trying. Just make sure access numbers are available in your country because SIP calls are not supported.
