Gratis bellen met IconDial

TechCrunch featured a brand new service earlier today. It is a service that allows people like you to make free phone calls from the Web to any number (landline & mobile) anywhere in the world.

This free phone calls service is brought to you by IconDial. Like any other free phone call services, IconDial is supported by advertisers. You can expect to hear a short audio ad right after dialing a number at IconDial.

I have given IconDial a quick test drive and found that the audio ad is not all obtrusive. What is more important is that IconDial really allows people to make free phone calls. There’s only one problem though, the quality of the calls is not at all impressive. I wish those folks at IconDial will work on improving the quality of the calls very soon if they are really serious about providing this sort of service in the World Wide Web.

Because of the heavy traffic, the site is difficult to reach

Gratis bellen met Google Talk en Talkster

5. You wait while your friend hangs up and calls back using his local number for you. (If he doesn’t know his number, send it to him by email or IM.)

6. As soon as your friend calls in, we connect you and you can talk as long as you want for FREE.

7. When you’re done, you just end the call!

8. Tell your friend to save his Talkster call-in number in his phone so he can use it whenever you want to call him from Google Talk.

You can call as often as you like and talk as long as you like. There are no catches, no limits, and no conditions!

Here is the list with available countrys:http://www.talkster.com/Countries.aspx

Poketalk gebruik vanuit Nederland

As for several operators they don't have a posibility to call from the Netherlands. For Poketalk you only can call from the following countries:
-USA
-Canada
-Israel
-UK (landlines)
-Germany (landlines)
-Singapore
-Japan

I discribed before how to get a DID number in the US and Germany. When you have such number you can should use that when using PokeTalk.

Please let me know when you have a problem using PokeTalk.

Gratis bellen via Poketalk

PokeTalk is based out of Isreal, however they offer free international calls to a lot of countries. Poketalk is purely advertisement based free international calling service.

You will see ads targeted to your country or your interest (you select while signing up). Since Poketalk is still new, you might not find the advertisment to be too relevant, however am sure they would improve.

Poketalk currently offers only 5 minutes of free calls from Landlines and 2 minutes to mobile. 2 minutes is probably too less to even try :-). 5 minutes can be at times pretty good to chat a little bit and hang up. Who would complain about a free international call?

They currently only offer calls FROM following countries:
-USA
-Canada
-Israel
-UK (landlines)
-Germany (landlines)
-Singapore
-Japan

We justed tested Poketalk. They served us a few ads instantly and connected the call. It's purely a Phone to Phone service, so you must enter your number and the enter destination number. Poketalk first calls you and then connect the party.

Later I will explain how to call also for free to the Netherlands.

It basically sends a message to your phone, you need to follow the link and setup Vyke on Mobile. Of course, you can also setup Vyke on Fring, if you want to. Just use the following SIP settings.

Of course for Mobile, you need to setup Internet Telephony Service besides the SIP settings.

2) Vyke PC Phone: The most basic functionality by any VOIP provider. You can download their softphone.

3) Vyke Call back: A really innovative way to make free VOIP Calls. You first need to register your number and then you need to dial, Vyke Callback number (i.e. +4918059908850 or +442071542887), as soon as you hear the busy tone, hang up!

4) Vyke Web Calling: Vyke also offers Web calling, which will give you a flexibility of Phone to Phone Calling. Enter your number and your friend's number and click call. You can also delay calls if you want to. Another good feature.

Vyke apparently offering free voip calls to european destinations and US and Canada. However they charge 4 cents setup fee per call.

Overall Vyke has potential become a leading VOIP provider if they manage to crack this overcrowded market. With Free calling offers pressure cutting your bottomline, it's difficult for VOIP provider to continue to provide Free calls.

Please report your experience with Vyke.

Tabrio hack

Tabrio offers $5 free calling credit to call any where in the world. You can use your credit for making calls or sending text messages anywhere you like. There is no commitment to add more funds to your account, or to keep using Tabrio after your funds run out.

Any one can think to create multiple accounts to get double credit, here is the answer from Tabrio.
Can I create more than one account?
You can create as many accounts as you need; however you’ll only receive your $5 credit for the first account you create with each phone number.

Oopsss, you were thinking that you have two phones, so you can get $10 by registering both phone..., Do not worry, you can do it.

Tabrio has very secured system, But still this hack works, use it before it is stopped by Tabrio.

Hack one: Registering Multiple Numbers

Problem: Register your first phone, you will surely get $5 credit, if you register the same phone with same PC and same IP, you will get $0.00 credit.

Solution: Register with different IP and different PC, for example, office/Home PC.Its really not a hack, It is work around but use this method not to loose $5 Credit for you another number.Already Registered both of your Phone number and got only $5 credit?? Do not worry, here is the solution.

Hack Two: Registering One phone number with multiple accounts.

Problem: You can not register the same phone again, or you have only one phone number.

Solution: This is also simple, Please keep in mind that use Different IP and PC. I will give one example, If you have registered a phone +390123456789, Then create your new account by adding an extra digit to your phone number +3901234567890 or +3901234567893 or +3901234567895, In this way you will receive the call and your number will be verified and you will get $5 extra with your same number.

Let's see how to use Tuitalk to make free international calls.

1) Register at Tuitalk
2) Activate your account. Please note, they would ask you to enter profile information. Here a simple trick can increase your daily calling limit, Update Enhanced Profile to get more free calling minutes. I got 10 minutes per day. Not sure if this has any relation to geographic location you belong to.
3) Tuitalk is not a web based free calling service so it requires you to download their client. Of course it's not SIP supported coz then you can bypass their Ad server lol.
4) Download Tuitalk Softphone Client (Direct Link): It took me ages, their servers are extremely slow while downloading.DUH!
5) Now Login to Tuitalk and start making calls. The moment you dial the number, an ad will show up which is basically sponsoring your free call.

Please note while dialing up do not enter country code, just select the flag of the country you want to call or else your would confuse tuitalker.At first look, tuitalk looks like a decent service.
