Facts about betamax VoIP calling services

All the betamax VoIP company’s strategy is to first attract customers by offering very cheap call rates (for a specific or a list of targeted countries) and later when lot of customers buy credit then they start to increase their call rate. It can be applicable from voipwise.com to intervoip.com to smsdiscount.com to freecall.com and so on……. You see, few days ago freecall.com started to offer 0.5 euro cent call to both mobiles and landlines in Bangladesh but just after one week they increased the charge to 1.0 euro cent (for mobile), then within another week it has come to 1.5 euro cent (but still landline charge is 0.5 euro cent). Actually there is no other VoIP provider who can offer more cheaply as well as a fixed call rate to Bangladesh, India and Pakistan and that’s why there is no other alternative without using betamax services.  

So, my suggestion is that don’t rely on a single VoIP company. Suppose, at this moment if you need frequent call to Bangladesh (both landline and mobile) then you can use the cheapest two/three VoIP services so that you can call in very convenient rate. For example:

For landline: it is currently free at lowratevoip.com

For mobile: both freecall.com and poivy.com has 1.5 euro cent 

Totally free VoIP call to all over the world

An advertised based VoIP provider called evaphone.com is providing totally free call to all over the world. And here even you don’t need to register and call can be made directly from their website without downloading any kind of softphone. But the only and main negative side of it is that their call duration is very limited (means most of the cases less than a minute). But it can be a good choice when all your credits are finished in your oftenly used VoIP solution but you need to tell/inform something urgently to any place. After disconnecting a call you can immediately start another call in same number and thus can finish any uncompleted word/sentence very quickly. This type of free call can’t help you too much but can play a really good role in odd conditions when you don’t have much money to buy calling credits from your regularly used VoIP service(s). Better you can visit their website to know about further details.  

Bangladesh: 11 to 39 second depending on region/phone operator

India:  8 to 35 second depending on region/phone operator

Pakistan: 10 to 23 second depending on region/phone operator

Free SMS worldwide and free call to Pakistani landline

Currently lowratevoip.com is providing totally free SMS to all over the world. And Yupeephone (another US VoIP provider) is again providing free calls to all Pakistani landlines (plz read my previous posts to know detail about Yupee phone).

Cheapest call to all over the world!!!

A very new UK based VoIP calling company (fizzcall.com) is offering attractive calls to all over the world. And here the interesting thing is that call rate is same in all cases means no variation between country to country (suppose free calling country vs. non-free) or between landline and mobile. For a single call you have to pay 0.25 British pound and call duration is 1 hour (60 minute!). Here no matter whether you call to mobile or landline and you can make the call from your mobile phone without paying any extra fees. It seems very interesting and so I recommend you to first visit their website and then take a look for better understanding. I think you can at least try it for one time because their minimum buying credit is 1.50 British pound (its really very cheap and good for experimental use). One another thing, before buying any credit don’t forget to see the list of unsupported phone numbers/countries list. Good luck!!!

Cheapest call to Bangladesh and India

Currently for a limited time offer, a betamax VoIP (freecall.com) is offering really very very cheap call to Bangladesh (it is landline 0.5 Euro cent and mobile 1.0 Euro cent) and India (landline 1.5 Euro cent and mobile 2.0 Euro cent). They have their downloadable softphone too, so you don’t need to pay more than their mentioned amount.

And for Bangladesh, free call to all landline offer is still valid for another betamax VoIP company called lowratevoip.com. Their rate is seems to be constant for a long time (for landline 0 Euro cent and mobile 7 Euro cent). Some other betamax companies call rate is also relatively lower.
