VMTag Offers Free Phone Call To VoiceMail System

VOIP Providers and Services are trying to combine the benefits of value added service with mainstream telephony such as VOIP to make your life easier.

We discussed about Fonolo, a call center menu bypass system.Today we talk about another interesting service called VMTag, A Phone Call to Voicemail system.

VMTag basically allows anyone anywhere in the world to receive free voicemails in their mailbox whenever someone calls up a phone number. A random number is generator each time you register your email as VMTag Voicemail service user.

How does VMTag Works?

1) You enter the email address to which Voicemail should be delivered.



2) Once you enter the email address and submit VMTag will assign a Mailbox number to the email id and gives you a phone number to call.


3) When you dial that phone number and enter mailbox number, you can drop a voicemail for that Id. This voicemail will then be forwarded to the email address.

How can you use VMTag Phone to Voicemail system?
You can send messages to your friends, create reminders for yourself, send voicemails as email if you don't have blackberry.

VMTag is one of those services which will stregthen the VOIP & Telephony market. These new ideas will slowly become mainstream as VOIP Providers integrate these functions under one single ultimate uber VOIP Service. I am still waiting to see such VOIP Provider. However future for VOIP looks promising.

Cheapest Calls to India

Cheap international call markets is already breaking the Free international call market by reducing long distance calling rates every month. Mediaringtalk joins the party by giving the best calling rate to India ever possible.

MediaRingtalk is a VOIP services by Mediaring, a Singapore based VOIP Provider serving billions of minutes worldwide each year. I visited their Data center and facility at singapore a few months back and it awesome to say the least. With such dedicated infrastructure
backing up their already reliable connectivity with some of the best E1 providers in telecom industry, It can't get any better. For privacy and business reasons, I won't disclose their telecom provider name on the blog. However its one of the primary reasons why Mediaringtalk can today offer the best calling rate for India.

Yes, Mediaringtalk now offers 1.9 cents per minute to india. Its all across India (Mobile + Landline) both. FreeCall used to offer 1.5 cents earlier which they increased to 1.9 cents and with all the betamax mishap i prefer to stay with betamax services whenever I can. You can buy credit as low as $10. Please note your mediaringtalk credit expires in 180 days so you better use it.

Mediaringtalk also offers free international calls to many destinations such China, Taiwan,UK (landline only), Singapore, Hong Kong, USA, Canada & Australia.

Mediaringtalk has over 1 million users worldwide and they do serve ocassional ads in their softphone for the free international calls that they offer. Please note that mediaringtalk is only supported via their softphone and they do not support external SIP. We tried it last time however its unreliable.

Overall Mediaringtalk's 1.9 cents to India is a great deal we must say!

Bypass Call Center Phone Menus With Fonolo

With really interesting concepts coming into Telecommunication and VOIP, many VOIP Providers are trying their hand with out of the box ideas. Fonolo is one smashing new service which does this in great style.

Did you ever call your cable provider like comcast, Verizon and just waited, waited and waited forever. With more stupid call center executives making you mad, the wait seems forever. I myself have noticed many call centers makes your life so difficult that they put horrendous amount of phone menus to choose from, which are just going around in circles so that you never be able to find the real human call center employee. Of course the end result is you get bored and hang up.

Now let fonolo make your life easier. Fonolo is like a call center service spyder. It spider all leading call center services and their menus and lets you hijack them and set your own preferences.

Let's understand what Fonolo can do for you.

1) You can first signup for Fonolo. currently fonolo is in beta allows only USA and Canada numbers.
2) Now you need to setup the call routing mechanism for each company's call center. Just do this for the most used.
3) Pick the company you need (say comcast). Fonolo will give you the option to now change Comcast Call center phone menu.
4)Scan through their phone menu visually, then just click the spot you need to call.
5)Fonolo will automatically dial, navigate their menu and then dial your phone. When you answer, you will be connected to the right spot in the menu.
6) What this means let fonolo take the pain to reach the customer service executive rather than you jumping around those stupid call center menus.

I believe this is a great servie. Thinking of simplicity and providing this to the today's consumers was a must. With more and more call centers acting utterly stupid with their phone menus, I believe Fonolo will be massive.

Go try them out. Its totally free. I hope they can extend this service worldwide very soon. Let's hope for the best. I have setup my account and now going to try calling my Yahoo Search Marketing Account Manager bypassing all those menus :-)

Unlimited FREE calls to USA

There are lots of VOIP Providers offering free international calls to USA and we got one more joining the league. This one is however offering unlimited free calls to usa from anywhere in the world.

The Ad-based model for VOIP free calls seems to be most popular choice amongst VOIP Providers. Calling America is one of them who is offering unlimited free calls to any number in the United States in liue of advertisements from any computer with a Web browser and a broadband connection. In short its a close competitor to EarthCaller. The only difference being Earthcaller only works in IE7 now.

Do we have a limit on numbers of calls?
Most unlimited calling companies often have FUP(Fair usage policies) to trick you in and then sneak the FUP in to make sure they won't go bust just if you go high on them :-)

CallingAmerica.com allows you to talk upto 15 minutes for each call as a register user and make unlimited calls. That means each call will last for 15 minutes and it would be disconnected. You would be able to dial again the same number. For no-registered users, this limit is 2 minutes. Probably worth signing up, However always note that most free VOIP companies make money from selling your personal contact information to other companies and make a few bucks. Its a industry wide practice. I still get calls from a company trying to sell me nutrition products DUH.

This is purely a PC to Phone service and it requires you to have a microphone.

Lets look at how to use calling America to make free international calls to USA:

1) Go to CallingAmerica.com

2) The service requires you to view a short ad before you place the call. The audio is played through the browser, and the site uses your computer’s microphone to transmit what you say.
3) Now You would notice signup option. Just register and then login. You would notice Phone Number box. Input a 10 Digit USA Phone number without country code(e.g 2222223333)
4) It will prompt you for a word verification (Register users can skip this).
5) You would notice a call connection timer.
.Then Click Press to Call.

6)If you are calling the very first time, it would prompt for a Flash Notification to allow Callingamerica to access your microphone. Select Yes.


7)Now it would start dialing out to the destination number.

Once connected, you can talk for 15 minutes and can repeat this again.

Please note this free VOIP service was launched today, so they are fairly new. Let's know your comments and feedback as always.
