Voxofon VOIP Free Call Hack

Well, we haven't really given away any free voip calling hacks for some time. I thought lets do one today :-) This is good old loophole often left unattended by many VOIP companies.

Today we will talk about Voxofon VOIP Service

VoxoFon is basically a cheap international call service although many VOIP Providers claim to offer cheap international call service its often costlier than other VOIP Providers. VoxoFon's calling rates don't really excite us at all. With almost 8 cents for USA to India calls on Phone to Phone is way too costly.

Voxofon offers free trial calls to a few destinations including India. That's where you can actually use this free calling hack.

It asks for your phone number and the party's number to dial. Se below picture.



Now the real hack begins here, The idea is to use more digits than your phone number. USA to India free trial call is only for 1 minute but with additonal number combination you can do as many calls as you want. Use your imagination.

Take Example:

First Call: USA number: + 18888888888 and India Number: +912225999999
Talk for 1 minute.

Second Call: Add any digit at the end of the number. USA number: + 188888888889. Don't change India number. So now you have a new combination, Voxofon system won't recognize that this is the same number and will let you make another call.

This way you can repeat as many numbers as you want. It really depends on how many numbers you can add after your phone number. At this time, you can add almost infinite. So Imagine, how many combinations you can make out of this.

For certain countries, the per call limit is higher than 1 minute, so you can expect to talk for long.

Just your imagination and make the most of it. Let us know how you are able to make free calls with VoxoFon.

GrandCentral VOIP Becomes Google Voice

After a long time, Google finally rebranded GrandCentral, a powerful VOIP integration service into Google Voice.

Rebranding GrandCentral into Google Voice would open up multiple avenues for google in the coming years mainly in the integration space. It would be interesting to see if they would integrate Google Talk ingo google voice or add google voice to google talk. There were talks that Google Talk team doesnt do any further development and has been used by other teams possibly google voice team.

GrandCentral will continue to offer users with the same interface and its core feature, intregrating multiple phone numbers into one google voice number so you can manage your calls effectively.

Besides the standard features, Google Voice would also offer,

Call screening - Announce and screen callers
Listen in - Listen before taking a call
Block calls - Keep unwanted callers at bay
SMS - Send, receive, and store SMS
Place calls - Call US numbers for free
Taking calls - Answer on any of your phones
Phone routing - Phones ring based on whoConference calling - Join people into a single call
Call record - Record calls and store them online
Call switch - Switch phones during a call
Mobile site - View your inbox from your mobile
GOOG-411 - Check directory assistance
Manage groups - Set preferences by group calls
Forwarding phones - Add phones and decide which ring
Voicemail transcripts - Read what your voicemail says
Listen to voicemail - Check online or from your phone
Notifications - Receive voicemails via email or SMS
Personalize greeting - Vary greetings by caller
Share voicemail - Forward or download voicemails

Another important feature is obviously allowing totally free calls any USA number including mobile.

Unfortunately at this stage, google voice is restricted to existing GrandCentral users. However, let's hope they open up the doors to this exicting VOIP service to anyone anywhere in the world so anyone can leverage the benefit of having one number for call management.

We believe Google will now take up Google Voice seriously and would most likely integrate google voice voip service into other applications or services google offers.
