How to effectively resolve VoIP issues?

VoIP service has started increasing manifolds as each year; millions of new users subscribe to it all across the world. There are many different types of VoIP providers out there. Some of them are offering free services while others charge very market competitive rates to their subscribers. VoIP has not only been effectively deployed by the residential phone users, but business phone users are also using this service to their advantage. Even some entrepreneurs have gone to the length of redesigning their company’s phoning structure so they can avail this great phone service for their business ventures. But as always, there are times when people face problems when using VoIP service. They are not able to get the quality that was originally promised to them.

Let us have a look at all the main problems which might cause interruption in your VoIP phone.

Internet connection

There are many times when VoIP subscribers keep on changing their phone service and they still say that every phone service that they used had problems. If that is the case with you, then there is a bright chance that the problem lays nowhere else but your internet service provider.People often blindly trust the capabilities of their internet connection. They however don’t realize that the fault is with their internet connection. One thing that we really need to look at closely is the use of internet. We don’t use internet solely for the phone, but instead it has multiple uses. Sometimes, there are more than one users using the same internet connection. Often people are streaming videos, downloading stuff from the internet, and doing all other kinds of things on internet. Use of internet phone requires additional bandwidth, which is not provided to the phone because the connection is already loaded with a lot of other tasks. When you subscribe to a VoIP provider, always ask about the internet connection speed that is required for VoIP usage and also try to ascertain for what purposes you are already using a connection. This way you will be able to determine the internet speed that you require to easily run your phone service.

Router related issues

When we use internet for carrying voice data, there are number of different routers used that carry the voice. Each router has different capacity of passing the data in a certain amount of time. Customers experiencing low quality VoIP services usually suffer because they have low capacity routers with high data traffic. Each router has a specific data passing capability beyond that it cannot pass on data. When the data overloads the capacity, the router starts making queues of data which wait in line until the already given data is allowed to pass. And at times when the queues also become full, then the data starts dropping. This is the point where the call dropping and interruption starts making its impact. In such a case scenario, the VoIP user should instead change the router and switch to a better one.

Yes that is right. Now you can use your TV to make Skype video calls worldwide. According to Skype.com article, the partnership will bring all of Skypes features to the Viera series of TV’s by Panasonic. They also state that the new features will include:

• Free Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls
  

  Skype on the Panasonic HDTV

• Calls to landline or mobile phone at Skype’s low rates
• Receive inbound calls
• Voicemail
• Voice conference

These features are plenty for anyone that uses Skype. Usually laptop or desktop computers do not have high definition cameras or LCD screens, so the experience of speaking to someone on a HDTV will be much better. Technology is connecting families and friends who would never be able to see each other. Skype is able to bring together friends and families in a cheap and free way. Panasonic coming into the scene will only provide higher definition of video calling which can only benefit users.

FreeSwitch is one of the strongest, most versatile and open ended telecom switch platforms on the web. We are not saying it is the best but we can say confidently that for its value it is the best. Guess what, its value is absolutely nothing. It is is free and open source.

If you are currently a big fan of Twilio and have applications built on their, then a transition to Plivo is simple. Because Plivo uses the same API structure as Twilio only a few simple changes are required. If you are not satisfied with Twilio per minute costs or their internation outbound rates ( which are extremely high ) then plivo is the choice for you.

Plivo works much similar to Twilio. One will need a server that is capable of handling FreeSwitch. The installation process includes installing FreeSwitch then Plivo. The developer will setup Freeswitch with gateway providers and Plivo will use those as connections to the outside world. Plivo makes things much simpler for developers who want more freedom.

In the next few weeks, we will provide tutorials on the porting of Twilio to Plivo. This should help majority of people out there to get started.

Stay tuned!

VOIP has been blocked in many countries such as UAE. There are many ways to get around that but it is difficult to setup for the non tech-savvy person. The best route for VOIP calls from UAE or other countries is through VPN connection. This is a pain to setup and hard to maintain. Therefore, a service has been introduced that will allow users to setup a VPN in seconds.

JumperTel allows for a VOIP call through VPN. Now JumperTel is a USB phone that hooks up to your PC’s USB port. It routes the calls through your computer and internet. It allows for JumperTel to JumperTel calls to any person in the world. This is not special for any other country that does not have VOIP blocked because it is just like PC to PC calls and Skype can be used for that. But Skype is blocked in many countries such as UAE. So purchasing a JumperTel phone will allow you to use the service.

This phone costs a one time fee of $21.99, and the service is $1/month or $12/year. The calls are unlimited and you need to have a friend or family member who uses the same service so you can make the calls to them. They do not allow calls to normal landlines or cell phones, its only Jumper to Jumper.

How does JumperTel unblock VOIP Calls

It is very easy to do this. When you get your USB phone, you plug it in to your computer and it will guide you through the best route. It will auto detect that you cannot make normal VOIP calls and it will set up a VPN network for you. This all takes a matter of 5 minutes and a few clicks on your side.

Once again, it needs to be stated that this is ONLY for those who do not want to worry about technology. If you know something about VOIP and SIP then you know that there are better and free alternatives such as Skype or any other kind of SIP service. Other than that this is a good service and pricing is not so bad. If you live in a VOIP blocked country, then JumperTel can help you in some ways.

Differences in technology

The voice transmission technology used in the internet phone services is the first distinct trait which sets these VoIP phone services apart from the outdated telephone technology used today. Internet technology has certainly evolved through the years and it has really made lives easier for the people of today. Thus, the internet phone service has experienced the same impact as well. The setup of telephones by using copper wires for the transmission of analog signals is getting quite old school. Through the internet phone services, for the voice data exchange, the only factor required is an internet connection. Rather than using analog signals for the transmission of voice data, the voice is converted into digital signals through the VoIP phone technology. For this very reason, the quality of voice is not affected during transmission since the internet is being used as the medium for the transfer.

Plans for customers

There are quite a variety of plans that VoIP service providers offer, each of which varies from the other. When it comes to obtaining a truly distinct range in the calling plans, only a few VoIP service providers could truly be considered reliable and reputable. Even when considering a variety of choices, users get quite a lot when looking for a suitable VoIP service provider. Thus, whether it is a home phone user or someone who intends to use the internet phone service for business purposes, finding a suitable package is not really too troublesome.

Calling features

These days, phone users find it really important to obtain ideal features from a calling service. The customers in fact wish to avail truly the best services and really distinct features. As for telephone users, they never really got the chance to benefit from such features at all. Luckily enough, VoIP phone services have quite a lot to offer. Features like records of the call log, enhanced voicemail, free in network calls, online account management facility, soft phone support and voicemail notifications via email, all set the internet phone service apart from any other communication services.

When choosing an internet phone service provider, the users do not merely need to consider about the features but should even consider their budget and find plans with the best rates. Nonetheless, with VoIP phone services, saving money is surely possible.

Now marketing via online presence is not enough to win over your customer. Having a local number in the country of operations is crucial to the betterment of your services. Therefore a local DID number is needed.

What is DID?

DID stands for Direct Inward Dialing. The general idea is that you can purchase or get a local number in a different country which will forward calls to your local destination in a different country. This allows for the person calling to be charged local prices to reach you instead of expensive long distance rates.

A DID can show your customers that you truly want to give them the best support possible. It will win over your customers against your competition.

The process is simple. You register and purchase a phone number of your choosing in a country you want. Then you are able to forward the number to SIP, a number, or a Instant messenger client. Yes, you can even forward it to your Skype account so your relatives abroad can reach you on your Skype client, that is neat.

Each account comes with 5000 free minutes to redirect to IM Client like Skype. If your forwarding to a phone number, then you will have to pay the per minute rates for the calls. You can even set up VPL with a PBX like Asterisk.

Apart from the normal calling features, VPL offers faxes, voicemail, Facebook integration, call recording, and much more. Like Localphone.com, VPL also offers SMS sending via your DID number. The rates for sms are different, so be sure to check your destination.

The Verdict

VPL is top notch. While I was using it, there were no issues at all. The other side was able to listen to me perfectly. The delay to connect to the other destination was short. Therefore, overall VPL is a excellent service to use. Creating a local presence is not expensive anymore due to VPL. Now any business or individual can have a number in over 50 countries worldwide.

VPL is recommended for all users!

To call a phone from your computer you will need to pay a rate to that country. This technology is just like mobile cell plans. Many VOIP services give users opportunities to top up there accounts with money so they can make long distance calls. New VOIP services allow users to use the service website to manage there account so the cheapest VOIP calls can be made. Unlimited VOIP calls are possible as well and the bill can be payed at the end of the month.

VOIP service can’t be used when you don’t have internet connection.  This new technology is not able to make emergency calls. So 911 dialing is not a viable option. 911 services require to be able to trace to your position but internet doesn’t allow that. If your considering to change your phone, then try VOIP and see how you can make the cheapest VOIP calls.

Web Calling with Vox.io

The traditional methods of making a VoIP call was via applications, landlines and mobile phones. Vox.io’s innovate new platform enables individuals to make calls via a web browser. No more downloading of software or setting up SIP settings is required. Customers are able to make a direct call from their web browser such as Firefox, Chrome or Safari and their caller ID that is attached to the account is shown on the receiving end. Vox.io is the only such service on the Internet today that allows for such brilliance. The process of making a web-based call is simple. Their interface is fine tuned to not lead users astray.

Web Calling by Vox.io

Upon entering “who you want to call” in the box above on their website, it will automatically connect to their phone number. Vox.io has been in beta mode for the past few months but they provide each customer with $0.50 upon registration. Their call rates are fairly expensive compared to other services but it is understandable as they are testing. We advise that since they are in beta testing, please be patient if any issues occur and share that knowledge either here or send a request to their support team. Such companies are not seen on a daily basis so that is why they have been honored by being one of the most innovative.

Voice Applications with Twilio

Twilio hits the top of the list because of their innovative techniques to allow any individual or business to create VoIP applications. Cloud based communication is fairly new to VoIP and Twilio is one of the first. With knowledge of a vast array of languages that they support such as PHP, Python, Java, C, Ruby and much more, one can create interactive applications. If you run a online retail business, then before purchases you can verify the phone number of a customer by using Twilio. This will lower fraud by hackers and provide a positive business experience. Individuals can create IVR menus, account verification, SMS applications, and VoIP applications. The possibilities of Twilio with VoIP are endless. The video below explains the power of Twilio clients and how normal people can create applications in seconds.

Skype is now Microsoft

One of the biggest headlines of 2011 was the purchase of Skype by Microsoft for $8.5 billion. Skype is a major player in VoIP for all consumers worldwide. Their voice and video chatting application is the smoothest and most reliable on the Internet. With over 663 million customers worldwide, Skype’s total number of voice and video minutes totals 207 billion. Whatever  Skype is doing is working effectively as to catch the eyes of business giant, Microsoft. The Windows Mobile platform will most likely be integrated fully with Skype as to increasing the usage of mobile VoIP. Apart from Windows Mobile, Microsoft Live Messenger service (which is free) will be integrated as well. The Skype acquisition was a positive one in terms of integration. We covered previously the future of mobile VoIP in 2012 and stated how the user base will not be as high. Integration of Skype into Windows Mobile will be a big step and will allow them to compete with giants such as Nokia, Android and iPhone.

Microsoft -> Skype -> Facebook

As of now Facebook does not provide a good experience for video or VoIP calls. Skype integrated with Facebook will pose as the best innovate integration in history. This powerful duo will better VoIP experience entirely. One could speak directly with their Facebook friends without having to add them to Skype. With this idea in aspiration, Skype is regarded as one of the top innovated VoIP companies in 2011.

The Innovative 2011

VoIP has been increasing without bounds in 2011 then any other previous year. With more people understanding the power of VoIP, it is becoming an accepted technology into society. Individuals are disregarding PSTN system to switch over to VoIP services. Vox.io, Twilio and Skype are changing the world of VoIP with their increasingly innovative ideas. Skype has been covered before as one of the top VoIP services of this decade prior so there is no doubt that they will continue to amaze us. We advise all VoIP services who would like to make a name for themselves to do something new and worthwhile. We do not want to see the same type of calling card businesses sprout out as they are plentiful. What we want is innovation such as Vox.io’s web based calling, Twilio voice applications and Skype’s integrations.

Apart from the softphone, one needs a SIP account provider. Now there various paid solutions available on the Internet but that is not what we are all about. We believe SIP accounts should be free. Since Jeff Pulver created FreeWorldDialup.com years ago, it has opened up SIP to the general public. Nowadays, it is common to use SIP amongst VoIP services to allow PC to PC calls. SIP is the inspiration on which Skype has built its several billion dollar platform on. Therefore, we are going to cover who are the free SIP account providers in 2011.

Since the beginning of SIP, the people at IPtel.org have provided millions of SIP accounts free of charge. They are the gurus of cheap SIP trunking and the most reliable. The registration process is extremely simple with only a short form to complete. The SIP accounts work without any hesitation and with perfect quality. One can receive calls or dial out calls to any other SIP account on the Internet. All that is required is the address of the receiving party. You can get an account at IPTel.org Registration.

Username: SerWEB login
Password: SerWEB password
Domain: iptel.org
SIP proxy: empty or sip.iptel.org

Ekiga is a new service that launched recently.  They provide their own softphone that has built in support for their SIP addresses but it is not necessary to use their software. They are fairly new but their SIP addresses are reliable. The address will be in the form of:

FreeSIPAccount@ekiga.net

Anyone is free to register at their Ekiga Registration page.

A partner company to OnSIP, GetOnSIP is a much more powerful service as they have the backing of OnSIP, which is one of the leading services for VoIP. We recommend everyone to try GetOnSIP. You will automatically receive your SIP address after registration is complete. If you are looking for a larger company that has more reliable servers then GetOnSIP is the best choice.

Their are no bests and worsts with free SIP account providers. The reason for that is because SIP is a basic principle where a server needs to be setup to provide the addresses. Open source software such as Asterisk can be used to set such services up. You can learn how by reading how to setup Asterisk. We can only give recommendation as to who we think is the best and in 2011 it is IPTel.org. IPTel has been around for ages since SIP was first discovered. They are reliable and have a huge community surrounding it. Therefore, if you have any questions then the answer is most likely available on the Internet.

The best free SIP account providers of 2011 were reviewed here. Various other sites have compiled a list of such services but they are outdated back to 2007 and prior. Most of those services have stopped providing SIP account so it was important for us to recompile a list for everyone to reference. If you have any issue setting up the SIP accounts or have a better provider, please let us know below by commenting.

1. Top 3 Innovative VoIP Services of 2011

At business, the telephone is used to keep in touch with the clients and higher officials. When there is so much people to call and talk, people are very keen on finding ways in which they can reduce the cost of the calls. Currently there has been a solution known as the VoIP. The VoIP Service Providers in India can make the cost of the calls very cheap, both locally as well as globally.

Telephones are a very common installment in almost every single home and office possible. However, when considering the idea of making an international call through the landline, the resulting cost is unimaginable. However, due to the high rise in the technology related to communications as well as telecommunications, a new type of enhancement had been introduced and the service providers who provide them are called as the VoIP Service Providers in India.

In fact several people have started being accustomed to the VoIP services and have replaced their traditional methods of trunk calls booking overseas with the VoIP. The VoIP is popularly known as the Voice over Internet Protocol. Several entrepreneurs are considering the idea of becoming VoIP Service Providers in India. The reason for this idea is that the VoIP way of communicating to people overseas is increasing constantly day by day. The biggest advantages of the VoIP in comparison to the normal telephone services are the cheaper long distance calls as well as the free calls that can be made locally.

The features that can be provided by the VoIP Service Providers in India are the caller ID systems, call waiting, video conferencing, conference calling, three way calling services, call forwarding and so on. These features are provided in a normal landline telephone as well as mobile phones, but they are comparatively costlier than the VoIP services. Another advantage of these VoIP services is that the quality is very clear and better than normal telephonic conversations. In addition, the signals are transferred at a faster rate than the normal telephone overseas calls that will take quite some time to reach the other side.

Asterisk has the capabilities for various applications if one knows how to develop under it. The issue mainly is that it is not simple to code in Asterisk. Once you understand the platform things can simpler but for a beginner it requires vast knowledge.

Hosted IP PBX Components

A hosted PBX is Asterisk. Asterisk requires a server either hosted in your own home or a provider such as Hostgator. We recommend Hostgator as it is 100% reliable with quick customer support. It is perfect for any beginner. One will require a VPS Linux system that is manageable.

Hosted IP PBX consists of Asterisk installed on a IP server. A typical server will do for residential purposes but if it is for office use then a stronger server with backups will be needed. We will cover office use in a another post.

Components of Asterisk

Asterisk is a complete phone system. It has various components such as caller ID, call forwarding, IVR, voicemail, fax and much more.

For residential use, one wants to capture the phone number that enters the system and redirect it to a phone accordingly. Technically, with Asterisk you do not need a VoIP provider as it is a system in itself. We will cover how to redirect a incoming call to a SIP enabled device connected to the network.

PBX Tutorial

In a Asterisk server (once Asterisk is installed), the extensions.conf file must be located. To do this go to:

cd /etc/asterisk/
nano extensions.conf

Running these two pieces of code should open up extensions.conf file for editing purposes. Note: every server is different but a common area where this file is save is under etc/asterisk.. Once opening this file, one will be presented with alot of confusing information but we will break it down. Scroll down towards the botton and you see CONTEXTS.

Context in Asterisk are surrounding by square brackets ([]) that signify an extension. A extension can be seen as a individual system where one can write commands that tell the system what to do

[context1]
–>extension 1, priority 1, application
–>extension 1, priority 2, application

The above code represents how the code is setup. The first thing is the extension the call is coming from, next is the priority which should be linear as in (1, 2, 3…). The third part is the application which in our case is Dial for outgoing. [context1] represents the name of the code.

For example:

[CheapestVoIPCalls.net]
exten => 3000,1,Dial(SIP/3000,30,Ttm)
exten => 3000,2,Hangup

The above code is a simple dial out to a SIP enabled device. When a call comes in the extensions CheapestVoIPCalls.net is run and the commands are sent out. Dial(SIP/3000,30,Ttm) represents the application to run once the call comes in. SIP/3000 represents forwarding the call to account 3000 SIP that is connected to the server, 30 represents timeout until call picked up, and Ttm are extra options.

After the call is complete, one must tell it to hangup as well.

Who is SIP/3000?
This is a significant part that also needs to be setup. Since the extensions are set, the SIP settings need to be set as well. locate the file /etc/asterisk/sip.conf and open it. Scroll to the bottom and input the following code:

[3000]
type=peer
host=dynamic
secret=PASSWORD
context=CheapestVoIPCalls.net

Once again the [3000] represents the USER being called. ‘Type’ represents the type of system which in this case is a peer because it is an individual SIP softphone or device. ‘Host’ is the IP address of the end system which in this case is dynamic so it can change. ‘Secret’ is the SIP password. When one register their device or softphone, username will be 3000 and password will be PASSWORD. These are changeable. Context must be the same as the extension from previously.

Last steps!
Almost there! Now setup your SIP softphone such as Xlite with the new information.

Username: 3000
Password: PASSWORD
Host: your server IP

Now whenever a call comes into the server, it will automatically be routed to the SIP enabled device with username 3000. That is how simple it is. Now all one needs to do is setup a phone number that can be bought from various sites which are called DID numbers. Forward that DID number to the IP of the server and you can send that out to friends as your personal home number.

When someone calls that it will forward to your SIP enabled device. You can potentially eliminate any third part VoIP providers and just use Asterisk. The Hosted IP PBX is the only cost for this setup!

We hope you found this tutorial useful. Stay tuned for much more!

Egypt Price – uVOIPit vs. Rebtel

uVOIPit Egypt: $0.077 per minute

AS you can see the clear winner is uVOIPit with about 4 cent margins. This is significant because you can speak almost twice as much with uVOIPit as you can with Rebtel.

Issues with Mobile VoIP

Mobile VoIP requires the use of the Internet on a mobile phone to relay calls. In the United States, the smartphone market boomed back in 2008 but according to studies, only 40% of adults actually use smartphones. The rest either do not appreciate the high cost of data plans on their phones or have absolutely no need for it. In the U.S, majority of the time you will be in a location where WiFi is available. If you are at home then you have your internet connection and then if you are at work you have internet connection their as well. Very few people actually use their smartphone data plans for actual needed situations. Most just follow the hype.

The current issues with mobile VoIP are extensive. Apart from the United States, countries like Australia and the U.K have a developed wireless network but the situation is the same over their as in the U.S. People do not have a dire need for data plans on their mobile phones. VoIP companies who are developing such systems need to take actual data into consideration before rolling out their applications.

Future of Mobile VoIP in 2012

Before Mobile VoIP can be successful, mobile Internet needs to be successful. Traditional VoIP on SIP and landlines are successful because it was reliable, easy and much cheaper than PSTN. Current cell phone providers need to lower the cost of data plans drastically before one can invest in the monthly fees. Let’s do some analysis and see the price differences.

Mobile VoIP is a No No

Every provider has high mobile Internet charges. The $5.00 call rate has been added if an individual makes a 15-minute call to India everyday for 30 days at 1 cent/minute. As visible above, in every aspect you are saving immense amounts of money each month by not using mobile VoIP. If you are following hype then we recommend you think about it once more before signing up for data plans. The future of mobile VoIP seems very slim at the moment. The current companies are creating them because they believe the market will boom, which by all means it will but as soon as people understand that it is an unnecessary pleasure then they will quit. This will leave the VoIP companies in the dust.

What now?

Good question. Like the beginning of VoIP, it was always targeted for computer users and it will stay strong at that. Costs are not high when using a computer because the investment in Internet and a computer are necessary aspects of life. What we can look forward to is Skype and Microsoft plans for VoIP and what will Google and Motorola do with their new merge. Look towards the big giants in business to bring forth exciting software that will enable the best VoIP provider to come forth. As for mobile VoIP, let’s just assume it was just a dream.

PSTN is old technology that is no longer relevant in today’s economy. Features that are free with VoIP cost money with PSTN. “The average household has a phone bill in excess of $60 each month with the majority of them not using the most efficient “packages” available from their phone company. Phone bills are littered with taxes and surcharges and extra features such as call waiting, caller ID and call forwarding all add additional charges to your bill. This is where VoIP is much more efficient” (WhichVoIP.com, 2009). Governments need to understand that if consumers are allowed to make their own decisions then they will benefit the government by investing elsewhere.

For example, the chart in Figure 1 clearly shows the price difference of VoIP verses traditional government services.

Figure 1 – Price Comparison (WhichVoIP.com)

Save money with VoIP

VoIP always benefits the customer. It can save a person over $40 per month if they are able to choose the right provider. Choosing the best VoIP provider is difficult but that is why we are here to help you understand the pros and cons of them. Read the tutorials and decide on which is best!

This program allows users to make free VOIP phone calls and free sms while being involved in NBC news broadcasts. This has always been a failure in the past where TV, Radio, and overall media communications have tried to develop VOIP applications. VOIP is hard to maintain and should only be used or a sole purpose of making the cheapest VOIP calls.

The NBC Communicator can be downloaded for free from there website. It is a PC to PC service such as Skype. But Skype will always be the best because they provide the cheapest VOIP calls from PC to Phone. This will be a failure. There is no reason to use such applications when there are better competitors like Skype. Still there will be many people who use it for a few days because of getting the news while speaking to people.

This could be a good way to discuss news with your friends together. This was probably the purpose of the NBC Communicator, where the users will have the news in front of them and they can discuss it through VOIP. Nonetheless, it wont be the best VOIP that there is.

One of the first steps in getting cheap VoIP calls is to understand how VoIP works. Next, scout around for the different service providers and the calling plans they have in store for you. VoIP calling also comes with many different features like call waiting, call conferencing, caller ID, call transferring, files and video sharing, to name a few. Many vendors or service providers offer cheap calling plans. These plans are usually on a monthly basis and are available on the internet. You can go either for prepaid calling or for the unlimited package, depending on your requirements. Most service providers offer free local services.

All you require to get started on VoIP is a computer system with an internet connection, and a set of headphones with a microphone. The service provider usually sets up an ATA or an Analog Telephone Adapter, which enables you to make cheap VoIP calls. This instrument is used to convert voice signals into data packets, and vice-versa.

VoIP calls are of three types – PC to PC, PC to mobile phones, and PC to phone. Software dedicated to cheap VoIP calling is responsible for good audio quality of VoIP calls. The software is available easily on the internet and can be downloaded and installed. Once you register, you will be given a VoIP number. Since this number is exclusive to you, you can make and receive calls using it even if you relocate. VoIP technology comes in handy for individuals, VoIP for small business, and large organizations.

Many VoIP service providers also offer instant messaging facility. The best incentive, however, is the calling rates. Cheap VoIP calls help in reducing your phone bill, especially where international calls are concerned. VoIP calling enables its users not only to make calls, but also to send messages, video, and check email.

Cheap VoIP calling plans help people make calls all over the world for very reasonable and affordable rates that are absolutely worth it.

If one views there True India plan located here. You can see that they advertise as 1 cent/minute but there are many clauses to get such a deal. Nowadays, the VoIP market is strong towards India because of the huge population living abroad but still the prices have not hit the 1 cent mark. The only way VoIP services can give such cheap prices is if they have other clauses.

Some of the clauses:

• Expiration date on Credit
  
• Hidden Fees
• Minimum Balance requirement
• Huge upfront costs
• Per minute billing

These are among the few clauses that big name companies put against a customer. TrueRoots has a combination of these which in the end actually bumps the rate to India to much higher than a cent. For example, they have a 60 day balance expiration. So if you are unable to use your balance in 60 days then it will automatically be zeroed. Some customers do not call as frequenlty as others so this is absolutely not fair for them. Second, for example, TrueRoots requires the user to have a minimum balance of at least $6.00. If you have $6.00 in your account than you receive the 1 cent/min and if not than you are bumped up to a much higher price.

Even an addition to this you must pay a $9.99 per month fee to avail this offer. With these payments, you only receive 600 minutes. So you will pay $16.00 with only 600 minutes. With simple math, this is 2.6 cents/minute. Even though you will be charged 1 cent/min but keep in mind you must always have $6.00 in your account. We have to hand it to TrueRoots for being brilliant marketters but if your thinking about purchasing, please read the Terms and Conditions to determine the clauses.

Even though it is TATA Communications and they are one of the oldest VOIP services, that does not necessarily mean they are the best. Please check other services on CheapestVoIPCalls to find much cheaper and clause-free deals.

Google has been expanding there company in all directions possible. They entered the telecommunication industry and now is a big shot at that. They developed the Android phone and the GoogleVoice in the phone business. VOIP is still new to Google so they bought Gizmo5, a well established VOIP service. Google gets what they want.

Fring has announced the world’s first Android VOIP application. Well Google has lost this battle because they were not the first. What does this mean? What do you think Google will do? Looking at there trends of takeovers, most likely Google will develop there own Android VOIP app to compete with Fring.

Google owns two of the most used services in the world, Voice and Gizmo5. If they wanted they could develop the best VOIP application for any phone made ever. Integrated Gizmo5 with GoogleVoice to produce an Android VOIP application would be revolutionary. There is already a Android Voice application in the market today but it is not a VOIP application. Let us see the scenarios that Google might incorporate.

Google uses Gizmo5′s SIP Service

This is the most anticipate outcome. Acquiring Gizmo5 was a big step in the VOIP world. This means Google will slowly integrate themselves towards VOIP. This means free VOIP phone calls to hundreds of countries. Great news for consumers. Most likely, the three services will be integrate into one in the future. GoogleVoice, Gizmo5, and Android all-in-one application for the Droid phone. This would put many cell phone service providers in worry. Around the world today, many big cities have WIFI connection in almost all corners. This means users can deduce there cell phone plans to the cheapest possible and use the WIFI to make the cheapest VOIP calls.

Google gives GoogleVoice SIP Capabilities

There is already a Voice application for the Android phone. Scenario #2 could be that Google will develop Voice into a full blown SIP service. Meaning people can use it from there softphone such as Xlite. This would put all the SIP providers out there right now into worry. I mean who would use other SIP providers if Google can provide the same service for free. They might develop the Voice app on the Android to allow SIP settings and this would turn into a VOIP application for the Android.

Google is always on top. That seems like there moto. There is nothing wrong with that because they always always satisfy there customers. Fring has done something amazing wit there VOIP application that many have not done yet. If Google wants they can bury Fring at any point in time. If they want they can purchase Fring. If they want they can develop a VOIP application and then no one would see the reason to use the Fring program.

There are many things Google could do from this position, but he main question is: Will Google developed Android VOIP app with Google Voice? Share your scenarios and opinions. Will Google give its users free VOIP phone calls?

Now as newer phones are coming out Windows Mobile SIP is a must. An SIP client will allow users to make free phone calls using a cheap SIP service. All the calls will be routed through WIFI so you must have a wifi connection to use the services.

The most important part of this is to find the right client application that can provide the free VoIP phone calls. Many of the Windows Mobile phones do not originally come with VOIP Settings. You will need to download this package provided by XDA Developers Forums. The instructions are provided on that site. After that you will need a Windows Mobile SIP application. This will provide the best ones for you to use.

Windows Mobile SIP – AgePhoneMobile 2

This is by far the best application for Windows mobile. It works with all WM6.0 and above phones and is extremely simple to use. All that is required is to sign up for a SIP service such as all the Betamax VOIP services or Lingo. That is how easy it is. After that enter your SIP information into the settings. Connect to the wifi service and make your phone call. AgePhoneMobile 2 is always running in the background of your phone so whenever WIFI is available you can use it to call. This will allow you to save alot of minutes on your cellular plan.

Features:

• Preset SIP services to enter your info.

• Control Sound settings
• Big button dialer for easy use

Fring Windows Mobile Softphone

Fring is the all in one application for phones. It gives a great SIP softphone plus other services like IM, Skype, etc. Fring is free to use and will always be. The only problem with Fring is that sound from many phones come out the speakers and no the ear piece. So try this application out so you can see if it works or not.

Features:

• Works well with all Windows Mobile SIP
• Integrate with all SIP settings
• All applications in one

PortSIP

The last but not the least best Windows Mobile SIP application is by PortSIP. This one might work on many phones but majority of them it doesn’t. But this one is the best if it works for your phone. It integrates perfectly with the phone and sound quality is excellent. It can be used with any SIP Settings as well.

Features:

• Beautiful Dialer and Application
• Very smooth

Overall there were three top Windows Mobile SIP applications here. Find yourself a good cheap SIP service like Lingo, Localphone or Yupeephone and then set it up.

VoIP is a software that converts analogue sound signals into digital data, which in turn can be transmitted through the Internet. VoIP uses IP networks for voice and data routing, rather than coaxial wires. This ensures crystal clear sound quality. VoIP can also transfer videos, images and other data communications, through IP networks.

By choosing to make cheap VoIP calls, a person can save a lot on telephone bills, every month. VoIP connections require a user login, and hence, one can use VoIP connection from anywhere, provided the software is available on that computer or hand held device. VoIP calling is preferred over traditional phone connections, and as a result it has been rated, as the best alternative to traditional phone connections.

Cheap VoIP calling also enables corporate companies to conduct their businesses globally, at low costs, thus revolutionizing business communications like never before. Users now, have more control over their monthly telephone costs.

VoIP service providers are coming up with new solutions to meet the demand for VoIP calls. They provide users with unlimited cheap VoIP calls, internationally and nationally. Users have the option of purchasing prepaid calling cards that can be used anywhere in the country, and even when traveling abroad. Calling cards of different denominations are available, to suit the different calling needs of users.

All one needs, in order to make cheap VoIP calls, is a good Internet connection, and an Analog Telephone Adapter (ATA). This equipment is supplied by a service provider, when a user signs up. The ATA is responsible for converting analog signals into digital IP packets, and to reconvert them at the destination. A user can access more than just one call, at any given time. They can also add features like call forwarding, call waiting, 3-way conferencing, video calling and caller ID, for little or no cost.

For all its hype, VoIP call has its share of disadvantages. Quality of the calls depends greatly on your broadband Internet connection. You will need to free up your Internet connection, and also close any programs you may be running on the background. You will also need to run regular scans for viruses and spyware on your computer.

Cheap voip calling services are constantly evolving; and providers are inventing new techniques, to make their services attractive to the end user. Rest assured, VoIP calling is any day the less expensive option in calling. You can now stay in touch with people around the globe, and build your business at reasonable charges.

Do you know how much free credit is given by zenofon when you refer a friend?
It is 99 cents, where 50% share comes to you and rest is divided to the chain of people who referred you.

Adding a Skype ID is very easy. You do it the same way that you configure a phone number:

• In Your phone settings page and Zenofon phonebook,
• Click add a new contact,
• type in the Skype ID as the contact’s number, and save.
• You will be given a new number that will forward to the person’s Skype ID.

How it could be useful?
If you are on the move without internet and your friend in outside USA is connected via Skype, now you can talk to him for only 6 cents. But calling a skype contact within USA could not be very interesting in terms of cost saving.

Please share your zenofon referral experience to make free calls.

So you can use these minutes as much as you want to the countries listed on there website. If one of the deadlines is achieved then the offer is over. Most likely the January 2nd deadline will be achieved first because its almost impossible to finish 10 million minutes. That is good news for call users because that means unlimited calls for almost 1 week now.

PennyTel is a wonderful VOIP service that can help you save a lot of money during these Holidays. Why not try this free offer but keep in mind that the traffic will be very high. Everyone wants to make the cheapest VOIP calls just like you. If you want more reliable and better service than you can try services like Lingo VOIP or Localphone. So don’t use this for the last minute important phone calls. Nonetheless, PennyTel has done a wonderful job offering free calls to America, UK, India, and Australia.

Good question. Well it is 2010 already. VOIP started to become the mainstream telecommunication portal in 2009 with services like Skype, Vonage, Lingo and many other services starting to show there true service. 2010 will be a better year for VOIP. Why is that you ask? Technology only grows because the need is strong. People always want better options, always want cheaper calls. The rule of society is we get what we want from the developers. Now that Google is entering the VOIP market this will open up horizons of new VOIP.

What will Google Do?

We all know Google. If they do something they do it perfectly. Google Voice was revolutionary in giving its users arrays of options. Now Google and Gizmo are teaming up to provide a VOIP service. No one knows whats the official date on the releases but it iwll be in 2010. This means war in the VOIP market. Think about it. Google is the best all around company right now. If they provide a VOIP service that is top notch with the cheapest VoIP calls, the services like Skype Vonage etc will have to keep up.

When competitions arises in the market, it only benefits us, the consumers. This is great for us because now we can get even better rates because of the competitors market. Most users will use Google as there VOIP service because well, they are the best. Think about Google Voice with Gizmo integration plus cheap calls, this is a moneymaker!

What will happen to the Future of VOIP?

Future is looking extremely good. Rates to many international countries are skyrocketing down. In a few years, we can probably expect less than 1 cent calls to many countries worldwide. India is one of this less than 1 cent per minute countries but many others will come into it as well. We expect to see Bangladesh, US and UK in this scenario as well. If one VOIP service is able to provide less than 1 cent/minute to a country then others will have to follow or else, only one thing to do then, out of business!

VOIP is a competitive market and in 2010 it will be one of the most competitive markets in the world. It is the telecommunication era now. Almost every person who can afford a phone has one and some have more then one. A new beginning will begin soon for VOIP. Also in the USA, many cell phone service providers are seeing the potential of incorporating VOIP in there services. They will be able to charge users for this extra service which means more money.

Mobile VOIP will open up to a whole new level as well. Mobile is growing tremendously with new phones that are capable of handling VOIP such as Google Android, iPhone, and Windows Mobile. The possibilities are endless for everyone. But lets just wait and see what unravels as the year goes on. The prediction is that users will save even more money then last year on the cheapest VoIP calls worldwide.

What are your opinions? What will happen to VOIP? Let us know. Stay tuned for the latest VOIP news.

Raza.com is a top VOIP provider for calling India and Pakistan. Most of the time there offers are very bad because they only give free minutes if you buy a bulk amount which is not a good idea. But now they are giving a great offer to people who want to call India. There Eid Special is valid from November 19 to November 30, 2009. This is the best offer Raza has given in a long time.

The Eid offer is if you top up your account with $10 (which is the minimum) then you will get 255 minutes plus another 255 minutes for free, which totals at 510 minutes of talk time for only $10. This is a wonderful offer an it is called “Buy 1 Min Get 1 Free”. They have more deals for the higher top ups like $50 but that is not recommended to use.

Is Raza a Good VOIP Service?

Right now, Raza is giving the best deal to India in the market. It is recommended to try them. Raza has always been the best for NRI’s living outside of India to call home. But there rates were always very high for all countries they support. So other than the rates there service is superior and there voice quality is excellent.

The coupon code on Raza.com to use for your deal is EIDOFFER, this will give you the free minutes. They are also running an offer for Cheap VoIP calls to Pakistan but that offer is horrible and it is recommend to use Localphone to call Pakistan.

Overall, if you want to Cheap VoIP calls to India during this Eid celebration then try Raza.com and if you are not satisfied then try Rebtel or Lingo as they give a great service as well.

More Customers

VoIP requires mass customers or earning profit is not possible. In any business, the more customers the better. If one percent of those 250 million users would use a Facebook Application on a daily basis than think of the potential there. The integration of Facebook Apps and VoIP Softphone can provide a interface that would be very powerful. The Facebook users could make calls right from their Facebook page. This would make it easy and hassle-free. VoIP is known for different types of softphones. Why not make one universal softphone that is web-based?

If a VoIP provider can give this service than they will dominate the VoIP market because most people want ease of use. They want to click a button and it will do the calling for them. The easier it is the more customers you get.

Good Platform for Development

In terms of API, Facebook provides freedom. One can create applications that are unimaginable. If games like Farm Ville and Mafia Wars can be made with Facebook Applications than a VoIP application is more than possible. Facebook provides a Canvas Feature where developers can implement their code and create any app of their choice.

Facebook uses a special coding language called FBML (Facebook Markup Language). For a aged developer, it will not be tough to pick it up. With FBML, VoIP business can pull information of customer’s friends and use there registered phone number to call out. This is all possible with Facebook.

As you can see Facebook VoIP can really boost customer and easiness of a VoIP service. It is easier sad than done because creating a Facebook application to work with VoIP is not that easy. It will take a team of strong developers. But one day, VoIP will shift into social marketing. Social Sites already provide the user base so why not use it for you user base?
