voipzoom.com ( For @2.4 cents incl. VAT to India)

FYI

freecall.com , nonoh.net , justvoip.com and voipzoom.com , all these websites are from one provider...its cheap but sometimes your accounts will be blocked. A friend of mine went to complain in Köln when his account was blocked but there was no offcie.They have just registered @ that place for post !!!

VOIP is not yet legal in India. So those websites are illegal. They are fly by night operators.

I know some chaps have given online authorisation from their savings a/c for buying cards. Doing so is at your own peril.

I use these sites to call to India/other places for the last 2.5 years.
You put the money and you can call for that amount, no need of automatic transfer from banks or credit card authorization etc.
I always put minimum amout of 10 euros with vat approx 13 euros and only had minor glitches on some days(I understand it also contains software :-))
if they run with that amount let them :-)

I also use one of these (Justvoip). Transfers money with Paypal, so no automatic transfer.

Recently I moved my telecom provider from Deutsche Telecom to 1und1. Now I can no longer make calls with Call by Call numbers (by prefixing like 01026).

I set up my modem (which is AVM fritzbox, VOIP enabled), with account info from Justvoip. For more info see http://www.justvoip.com/en/sipp.html. Then I changed dialing rules, such that, all international calls are routed thru Justvoip. So from my fone, I dont call dial directly using Justvoip with no hassles.

Till now it is working good! Hope it works without glitches.

@unithan,

seems you are lucky. because it depends on the DSL provider. My provider is O2 and they dont allow VOIP calls direclty through third party proxy-server. I was able to setup my justvoip sip account and able to register, but dont get any response back when i try to make call.

Im applying for Alice dsl/festnet connection. Do I need to ask them if they support voip service or not?
do I need to buy any specfic hardware for voip?

deathinc,

"Im applying for Alice dsl/festnet connection. Do I need to ask them if they support voip service or not?"
-Well you may ask them, but i am sure that person at the front desk/customer care not able to answer you. These days most of providers support VOIP calls, the telephone numbers they provide you on your DSL router ports are actually VOIP. The other thing(which they never like) is to use their DSL as transport and connect directly to third party as SIP like justvoip etc. and if they allow, then you are lucky and actually making cheap calls via just voip while using your DSL flat rate IP connection.

"do I need to buy any specfic hardware for voip?"
- you can install a soft phone on your PC(just voip provide one readily, else download some freeware clients. but its better to buy a VOIP cordless phone and register it(if provider allows). Gives you freedom, you dont need PC.

Hi deathinc,

http://www.billiger-surfen.de/dsl-rechner/

Freenet & 1und1 provide Fritzbox with DSL compelet packet. Fritzbox or similar box is needed for voip. I am using freenet compelete for last 2 years and quit satisfied. You can choose whatever suits you.

Regards.

Hmmm! That is bad. Did you check the contract? Is there something specifically written that they will block this?

Tried any other voip providers like Sipgate or X-lite (calling to their trial number).

Hi,

I did not understood comletely the SIP concept.

I am also trying to change from Tcom to O2 as my dsl provider. Until now, I used PC to call destination number. That is services like justvoip, freecall, nonoh etc. They provided a software to install on PC and I can log in and call destination number from that software. I did not had any problems to get connected. Can I firstly expect that if I change from Tcom to O2, would it work without problems?

I think, for using SIP phone, it is a bit different, which the corresponding DSL provider might not support all.

Can some one please educate me, so that I proceed with my change over from Tcom to O2.

Thanks,

@alien,

if you use softfone client on your pc from your provider such as justvoip, you wont have any issues with O2 becuase it doesnt use SIP as underlying protocol. BUT if you try to install SIP based client (hardware/softfone), most likly they block.

chk it..

Hi Subir79/*,

I have come across the similar situation with O2. Just even managed to configure the Router(blue-Elephant) to spare the new SIP ports for VOIP. Even, the 4-lines, are also SIP-based voip numbers from O2.

Still, I had problems with the O2-provided router, so its resting in my Keller.

The end solution is to buy Fritz-box (provided your contract with O2 is not ending soon, that you could go for 1und1 or similar which provide Fritz-box).

With Fritz-box, there does not get any botherations and restrictions and I have configured it to get the following benefits:
- Ofcourse SIP-VOIP (10 free configurable lines)
- Call-forwarding
- Call-Thru (if intelligently configured :-) could be used to have a Base like Mobile-Flat, provided your Mobile and DSL is running under same contract)
- Remote Administration
- Fax
and so on....

Gruss an Alle.

@All

Daily updated VoIP price chart.

http://www.backsla.sh/betamax

I dont know about 1und1 related to voip but its the worst service provider i have ever meet till now.

They even cheated me, forcing the contract again for 2 years if i shift from one place to other(they dont want to continue the existing contract).

+ router and fone jam when using p2p software most of the time.

thats why I applied Alice and hope this voip thing work with Alice .(and the rest of 1und 1 contract i need to pay without using it).
