Witel.Com Voip Review For Wifi Voip For International Calls

Witel.Com Voip Review For Wifi Voip For International Calls

Have you dreamt of making free international calls while you are driving or even walking on the street? If he response is positive, your dream might just become a reality with the advent of Witel. Witel is a Wifi based free international calls provider. However, many people wonder if it is worth it. We are already aware about Wifi based mobile VOIP providers such as truphone, Defi Mobile that offer similar free international calls packages. So, what is it that makes Witel different or great?

The services of Witel will enable you to route your calls over Wi-Fi networks. In other words, it means that you can be located in any corner of the world and still be able to use the services of Witel. All that you will require will be a Witel phone and you to be within the vicinity of a Wi-Fi network. There is no requirement of a computer or a dedicated Internet connection. It is believed that a Wi-Fi connectivity is advanced countries is not an issue but the facility is not so advanced in the regions such as the Indian sub-continent and most part of Africa. The Wi-Fi scene is lags behind in these regions.

Witel has developed a mobile VOIP phone by the name “Jetter.” This new VOIP phone services allow you to make and receive calls using any of the available Wi-Fi networks. The process to use Jetter is very simple. You are just required to turn it on and enter your Witel phone number and password. It will automatically begin sniffing for Wi-Fi networks available in the surroundings. Once a Wi-Fi network is detected and you are connected to it, the phone is ready to be used. The Jetter phone cost you only $59.99. It is a onetime cost that you need to pay.

All Witel users are assigned a unique 7 digit Witel Virtual Number along with a 10 digit phone number. The numbers can be chosen from over 20 different countries. The number is a geographic number and anyone can call you from anywhere using a normal PSTN or a Mobile phone. This is irrespective of the fact of where you are.

At present, Witel offers two calling plane that are priced at $9.99/mo and $19.99/mo respectively. Plan priced at $9.99.mo allows its subscribers to make Witel to Witel calls for free. The call are allowed anywhere in the world. Plan priced at $19.99 allows to receive free incoming calls from anywhere in the world. In addition to these plans, Witel offers some standard value added features and services such as voicemail, international call forwarding, and global directory assistance.

I personally believe that Witel already has an alternative available in the market. You need to use the old mobile VOIP software Fring or Nimbuzz to avail this facility. Just install one of these software on your mobile and you are ready to make call anywhere in the world. Another benefit of this VOIP facility is that you can switch to other VOIP service providers in case you want to make calls to other PSTN or Mobile phones in the world. Similarly, you can also port an incoming number via SIP to get incoming calls. In my opinion, Witel intended to capture the market share of the people who are completely novice about the mobile VOIP scene. But a new mobile VOIP user would shy away from the services of Witel unless the company offers outgoing calls to PSTN/Mobile at reasonable rates.

If you are also a Witel customer, please provide us with your review and feedback.

ActionDial.com – Voip Calls To UAE through VPN Secured Voip Service

ActionDial.com – Voip Calls To UAE through VPN Secured Voip Service

We recently talked about sites and various ISPs blocking the VOIP in UAE. Today we will talk about Actiondial, a new player in the VOIP market in UAE. It seems to be a good solution for the blocking problem in UAE. Actiondial is a new UAE based VOIP Provider. The company, Actiondial seems to be offering a secure VPN based VOIP solution that enables you to make cheap international calls.

Etislat and many other ISP’s in UAE region have always been against the usage of VOIP. The usage of VOIP compels many users to switch to VPN based VOIP. Some players in the UAE market such as Hotspotshield and Kongshare may work for some users but the services provided these players are still not reliable for many. I believe Actiondial.com has the same thought while designing this new VOIP solution.

As per the information that I have received, Actiondial is offering the rate of 1.5 cents per minute to make a call to India. Unfortunately for many users, the calling rates page of Actiondial is only available for the registered users of the Website. So, to be able to check the rates, you first need to register yourself. The advertisements of the company have the call rate of 2.5 cents per minute for making calls to India. However, at the present moment, the company is running a promotional campaign that allows the users to make calls to India at the rate of 1.5 cents per minute. I am not sure about how long the promotional campaign will last.

Currently, the company is offering two options to overcome the UAE VOIP Block. First one is Actiondial Broadband 2 Port Voice Gateway. To avail the benefits of the plan, you must have bought over $500 worth of calling credit. Only then the company offers you this device for free. The device contains Plug and play and a built-in VPN and it is ideal for blocked environments. The second option is Actiondial VPN Dialer-SIP Softphone. This softphone is a free SIP based softphone dialer that has a built-in VPN. This may help you overcome your issues while you are using it in UAE.

If you want to test the services, the easiest option is by using the VPN dialer provided by the company. In any case, one must consider a few things before finally signing up for the services of Actiondail. The company seems more like a reseller or a spin-off service that is using the betamax as backbone. Most likely, the company builds off actionvoip platform. Actiovoip is not a betamax service, it is only based in UAE. (I am unable to disclose the name of the person for certain security reasons.) There are no security settings available on the Website. However, when you ping sip.actiondial.com, you do get a response.

When you
ping sip.actiondial.com [208.43.87.196] with 32 bytes of data, reply from 208.43.87.196 is bytes=32 time=220ms TTL=111, reply from 208.43.87.196 is bytes=32 time=219ms TTL=111, reply from 208.43.87.196 is bytes=32 time=219ms TTL=111, and reply from 208.43.87.196 is bytes=32 time=220ms TTL=111.

It is always advisable to go slow when purchasing credits. One must only buy a few dollars and test the VOIP services before going all out to buy more.

If you are using Actiondial, let us know about the overall voice quality, prices, and so on.

Skype Voip, Skypephone, Free Voip, Free Voip Calls From Skype!!!

The concept of free VOIP calls has fast gained popularity. Thanks to such calls, people can now stay connected with friends and family members residing in any part of the world. One can make calls anywhere, without having to bother about the expensive call charges applied to long distance calls.

With VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, one can make calls either free, or at extremely cheap rates via their broadband connection. For instance, Skype, a famous VOIP provider enables its users to make free calls from one computer to another. It also offers other great features such as sending instant messages, making conference calls, video chat etc.

For being able to use these services, the only prerequisite is the creation of a Skype ID. Following the sign up, the user receives an individual number, which is linked to the user name. With this VOIP service, one can establish a connection with landline phones as well as with virtual or digital members. The Phone 2 Phone network is closed and secure, with the users being able to choose to lock or unlock various features. Also, if need be, the system divides the users on the basis of the bandwidth they ask for.

This extraordinary technology also has many other benefits for VOIP users. With this service, people can now own a Skype-enabled Wi-Fi VOIP phone. The phone resembles any conventional handset, and helps in making calls via the Wi-Fi hotspots rather than using the signals of telecom providers.

However, most of the Skype features are restricted to Skype subscribers only, and are valid for Skype to Skype calls. As far as the plans are concerned, Skype offers two main kinds of plans. First is the ‘Pay As You Go’ plan that adds credits to the user’s account when free VOIP services are used. The credits need to be used within the next six months. The second is the ‘monthly’ plan that costs $2.95 per month. It does not require signing up for any kind of contract, and includes facilities of caller ID, forwarding of calls, voicemail etc.

Each customer also gets a free trial period of 30 days, which can later be converted to unlimited usage by paying $9.95.

The service however has certain drawbacks as well. The plans offered by Skype are not good enough to take the position of the regular phone, which people use in their daily life. Besides, one cannot make emergency calls such as 911, along with being unable to link one’s current phone number with the Skype ID.

Coming to the verdict, the company is fast developing and improving its VOIP services, and is giving competition to its contenders in the market. It has now also started offering facilities of free international calls of up to 60 minutes to more than 30 countries for subscribers in the United States. Therefore, the company has managed to establish a strong relationship of trust and loyalty with its consumers, who keep on increasing each year.
