Rebtel offers cheap international calls to India


Holiday season is around the corner and more VOIP Providers are coming out with new offers. Rebtel, a leading VOIP Provider is offering extremely cheap calling rates to India.

We share great relationship with Rebtel and have worked together before on a special offer for cheap calls to India. Today's offer will even beat that.

Rebtel is slashing their international calling rates to over 23 countries by 50%. This also includes India, that means you can now call India at 2.8 cents per minute till 18th December 2008. I know a lot of people who love to use Rebtel, especially because of ease of use and Mobile VOIP technology.

Please note This offer is only available for new signups.

Many people have used Rebtel VOIP service before, but some of you probably not aware of how Rebtel works. I am giving a quick explanation of the service.

1)You give them the phone number of a friend in another country, and Rebtel gives you a local number for them.
2)Save this number on your mobile so you can call your friend whenever you want, for a fraction of your normal international rate. It becomes a local call for you.

Unblock VOIP in Middle East

Millions of people in Middle East are fed up with new VOIP Providers being blocked. Every new VOIP service provider launched is blocked in these countries within 1 week. Today we most likely found a solution.

All thanks to one of the comments on another post, which forced me to check this tiny little utility called HotSpotShield.

This program adds another layer between you and your ISP which is often called as VPN. When you have hotspotshield on, you will be using USA IP address and your service provider in UAE would never be able to impose VOIP blocking feature. You should be able to use all your existing popular VOIP Providers such as Nonoh, VOIPRaider, VOIPcheap, VOIPax etc

How to use this program to unlock VOIP in Middle East?
1) Download Hotspot Shield (Mirror)
2) Click "Run Hotspot Shield"
3) The auto search VPN server, and connects

You can then try visiting some of your favorite VOIP Providers and check if they are now working properly. We do not gurantee that this method will work for you however it's worth a try. You can always discontinue using the program if its fails to work.

Good Luck unblocking VOIP in Middle East! Its time to start enjoying VOIP calls once again and make some free international calls

Fring Mobile VOIP testing Trial Ads

With Global recession mounting over every industry including VOIP, VOIP Providers and VOIP Application developers such as Fring are looking for more revenue making ideas than just giving away FREE VOIP or mobile voip calls.

Fring is and will always be the leader in Mobile VOIP, atleast for a few coming years. However mobile VOIP offlate hasn't really took off for two primary reasons. Mobile Companies are still scared to try this out as an alternative business revenue model and shed off their GSM income and secondly, consumers are over the Mobile VOIP hype already. All they want to see now is a good way to save money during this difficult times.

For Fring, this is a great opportunity to build a good revenue model and demonstrate their VC/Partners that Fring can be a long term profitable firm, if at all sold it would get a fair price. With millions of downloads of Fring Mobile VOIP, the trial ads might work well. However can they sustain this?

With companies all over the world cutting down their ad budgets( Foolish move), its very unlikely that Fring would make loads of money. However better today than later, Fring could easily penetrate this market and keep on improving on their already solid Mobile VOIP platform. All they need now to go mainstream and hit a few deals with operators such as Verizon, Vodafone and T-Mobile and that could as well be the most successful VOIP business model world has even seen. Imagine operators pushing your product into the market is the dream of any VOIP Provider.

Fring however faces stiff competition from Nimbuzz. Do check them out, they are worth your time. I still remember talking to fring VP over a quick coffee, that their biggest rival in the current market is nimbuzz. I feel nimbuzz should be proud of the fact. Nimbuzz recently announced Partner agreement with leading VOIP Providers around the world to support SIP Calls across the network.

Good time ahead from Fring but as I always say, If you want to be successful during Recession, Stop thinking about Profits and start thinking about innovation. This innovation will eventually make you loads of money when the market is back in action.
