Economy Calling Review : Free ISD Calls, Voicemails, Phone Calls

Economy Calling is the new entry in the voip market and it has a very clean, good voip calling calling model. Firstly Economy Calling is offering free international calls, free phone calls to many countries : India, USA, Canada, Russia and many more. All these are free phone to phone calls.

I have tried Economy calling for making Free Mobile calls from my India number to a friend in India itself. You can use economy calling for making free ISD calls as well (Free international calls).
The call quality was good, call was connected instantly, everything was ok in the calling part.

I have had chat with their customer support with all the queries. Firstly their live support was very helpful. Please read on as this information will help you using Economy Calling and will answer most of your queries.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: I am Madhur from Free PC to Phone Calls Blog. I would like to post about economy calling on my blog. So would like to have my few questions answered. Hope you can help.
EconomyCalling Operator: I shall try to assist you to my fullest.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: How to get make free calls with economycalling.
EconomyCalling Operator: To get the Free Trial Call:
1. Visit http://www.economycalling.com/
2. Select your country and enter your phone number
3. Select your friend's country and enter the phone number
4. click “Submit”
5. Call the given Access Number from your phone, wait for 2 ring and hang up
6. You will receive a call on the mentioned numbers.
** Please note calls to EconomyCalling callback numbers will not be charged.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: Is this service same as spokenrecall ?
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes. Minus the call recording and transcription.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: What is the call duration of free trial call ? I have tried it, it seems it is limited to only one minute. Is it so ?
EconomyCalling Operator: During the Free Trial period, where we limit per call to one minute. User is allowed to make maximum of 10 calls in a day to any contact.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: Can we make free trial call from any number in world to any number ? Like calling Cuba from India. Because call rates to Cuba are already very high.
EconomyCalling Operator: Free Trial calls will be limited to Free destinations only. For paid destination the user will need to register to our service pay online and then continue using the service.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: I can see almost every country in the your friend number list on the homepage.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes, on home page we have listed all the countries. But callbacks to only free destinations will be allowed

FreePctoPhoneCalls: I tried calling from India to India, it worked. So it seems India and many other countries are included in Free destinations. I guess the ones where calling rate if high are not included in free destinations by economy calling.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes exactly.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: You assign a number for each destnation number. Can I save this number and call it again whenever I want to call my destination. This will save a lot of time for me.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes, in fact after the user makes a call to the caller-destination combination, we ask the users to save in their phone book for future use. So the user need not come to web all the time

FreePctoPhoneCalls: What is the minimum amount of credit which people need to buy from economy calling in order to get a registered users.
EconomyCalling Operator: We do not have minimum credit defined right now. The user is allowed to make a call, until he has a minimum balance in his account for the call.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: No, I mean can I register myself with $1 credit.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes you can, but we do warn you of low balance.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: What are the benefits of being a registered user than keep trying the free trial call feature (10 calls a day).
EconomyCalling Operator: As mentioned earlier, free trial are limit to free destinations, and to 1 minute per call. Also only 10 calls per day.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: If I sign up with economy calling by buying some credit, then will I be eligible for 10 free calls a day or do I have to always pay for the calls. Like, if I want to make a one min call : will I be charged for that, Considering I was not charged for trial call. So, after registration will I be charged ?
EconomyCalling Operator: Once you register, free trial period is ended. And the user pays according to the rates defined on the website. A registered user, can speak as long as he has enough credit, and calls will be unlimited.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: I guess, then the people who only want one minute call to free destination will not be attracted to buy credit and be a registered user.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: Do you provide access number in all the countries. Like if a person wants to register from UAE. I am asking this because many voip services don't work in Dubai/UAE.
EconomyCalling Operator: Depending on the demand from the users and area feasibility we plan to set up Access Numbers to most of the countries in the world.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: Does it currently work for people who want to call India from Dubai.
EconomyCalling Operator: Regarding middle east countries, it is not feasible to set up Access Numbers. That is the reason we have this callback service where the user calls a toll free number and they receive a callback.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: So economy calling works for Middle east countries, where people can give a ring to your international access number/toll free number. And economy calling callback their number.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes, but only for paid users.

FreePctoPhoneCalls: Ok. That's good enough. Anything that you would like to add about economy calling. I can share it with my blog readers.
EconomyCalling Operator: Thanks a lot. Economy Calling is a very simple to use telephone efficiency service used to make and receive calls all over the world.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: I agree with you. Economy Calling is very simple to use voip service with the callback model. I really appreciate it. Thanks for your time.
EconomyCalling Operator: Thank You for using Live Support.

Fring Login Failed | Fring Login Problem | Fring Login Please Wait

No doubt, Fring is one of the best mobile application for making Free Voip Calls , Free Video Calls. I have been using Fring on my android device and have faced few login issues with time. I thought to share with you all the common Fring login issues on Android, iPhones! May be a discussion can help us out. Most of people face the problem of Fring Login Please wait, or Fring login failed!

When you have registered with fring, you are signed in automatically. Its good till the time you keep yourself signed in, because when you log out it takes a lot of time (and problems) to login again. I have faced this problem a very few times on my iPod Touch/iPhone but this is very common for my android phone (Android 2.2 Froyo).

Fring screen just freezes at the login screen and keeps looping and tells you that the login failed . Please try again later?

I have been able to get pass this Fring Login Problem by :
1. Try loggin later after few minutes.
2. Retyping your password. --> Mostly solves my problem 70% of times.
3. Connecting to internet again and login in.
4. Login in to Fring account from Pc at the same time. This solves the problem rest 30% of times.

Once login, I avoid logging out of Fring.

If your problem says "please check credentials", then you just need to re-enter your username and password. Try the step 4 above.

You can also try getting the password (password recovery of Fring) by clicking forgot your password.

I did some more research on this Fring Login Problem, Fring Login Failed Problem for Android and other Phones, this is what I got on internet :

Registration failed is shown when one of the following happens:

1. You’ve previously registered to fring and you’re trying to enter a wrong password.

2. You’ve registered before on WM with a password that contains weird characters.

3. You’re trying to register with non English characters.

4. You’re trying to connect with a WAP connection.

I also checked the Fring Support page (found a large number of people facing the same issue), however it is mentioned that its a old problem and contact support. But no perfect solution.

So, if you know a perfect solution for this Fring Android Login Problem, please share the solution with us. Otherwise just try the above steps and get temporary rid of the Fring Login Problem.

1. Some people faced problem getting credit and making call on registering by Indian number.
Ans -> Now I would suggest you to try registering with US/UK number (try with Google Voice Number).
If you don't have any other number (other than Indian number), then try making calls using PC dialer or iPhone/Android app.

2. I am not getting enough credit from CallArc.
Ans-> Well the amount of credit you get depends on the country you are in (the survey you are taking). Try a proxy for taking surveys!

3. On calling with Callarc, I get a technical error by Callarc.
Ans -> Try PC dialer for making Free PC to Phone Calls. It works fine.

A few days back, we posted how you can make free mobile video calls using the voip services like Skype, Fring etc. Also with 3G services launched in India, people are excited about making 3G video mobile video calls. However for making a video call, you require a mobile with front camera. Are you looking for a mobile phone with video calling capabilities, read on!

On checking the internet going through various available options of a mobile phone with front camera, I found that a very limited options are available. You will find very few mobile phones with front camera (In Indian market), which will help you make video calls.

If you are having iPhone4 or a Samsung Galaxy S then you can certainly make video calls but again their price is very high. Most of the 3G, Android phones available in Indian market don't have a front camera. I wonder when companies are offering so many features, why are they not offering front camera for video calls.

You may say that "we can place a video call using the primary camera" but think again, will it make any sense :
1. You face the back of mobile, you won't be able to see the other person. Obviously you wont be using a mirror for that :p
2. Also your primary camera will have high resolution video, image which is not suited for video calling, as the video size will be high and very high speed internet is required to transmit it.

Front camera's are specially made for this option only, so if mobile companies are selling their phone claiming 3G, 3G : why are they not offering front camera.

I also checked the middle range mobile phones (many high end mobiles as well) and they Do not have a front camera (be it HTC wildfire, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy 3,5, LG Optimus, Spice Mi 300, Sony xperia x10 Mini).

So, if you are using a 3G phone with front camera, then please post your reviews. Have you tried making video calls using the primary camera ? Please let us know your feedback in the comment section. Lets discuss more about 3G Video Calling Mobile Phones.

Skype for iPad : Voip Calls on iPad

Well, are you planning to buy an iPad and just want to make sure that you can place free voip calls on it as Skype Call rates are cheap. Will you be able to use Skype on iPad, Make Free Voip calls on your iPad : Download Skype Voip App for iPad.

I just browsed the internet looking for similar answers. Straight away heading onto Skype Website.

Skype lists that it offers its Voip application for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad. Actually, since many iPhone app works on iPad, Skype's the same. Skype for iPad is basically Skype for iPhone application which equally works on your iPad. Offcourse you need high speed internet (3G/Wifi) to make video, voice calls on your iPad.

You can also make free calls to your Skype friends using your iPad or iPod touch. You need to do is get a compatible headset. I wonder why only these headsets, won't your bluetooth or the default mic and speakers work. A thing to explore, but I guess it should work.

Good thing about Skype for iPad, or any other voip app for iPad is that you can make voice, video calls to people using Skype on their iPhone, iPod touch or their laptop. So, its basically kind of Video calls from iPad to iPhone.

Then I checked the Skype forum. Guess what I found, people commenting :

"Its getting old already - I'm tired of using an iPhoneApp in x2 mode... just give me my app already!"

"I would USE MORE SKYPE CREDITS if the freaking iPad would have an app made for it."

"Downloaded the Skype APP to my iPad today and works a treat good quality video on iPad and speech is spot on, of course no video back from iPad, just speech, but then you will all know that. My only concern so far is that when a call comes onto the iPad the ring tone is total rubbish"

Above comments indicate that Skype app for iPhone doesn't work that great for iPad. Guess Skype needs to come out with an exclusive app for iPad : Skype on iPad so that people can place some cheap and free voip calls.

Do you own an iPad, have you tried Skype on your iPad. Please share your experience, any problems you are facing, any suggestions you would like to make about using Skype for iPad. May be we can help you out, or may be you can help others!
