Today, we review another free VoIP service – Qttel!!
Qttel is a simple and neat service to call to almost 50 countries for free (does not include India). These countries include:
Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, San Marino, Turkey, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, USA, US-VI, Venezuela, Australia, Bahamas, China, Guam, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Korea South, Malaysia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Thailand.
The interface is minimal, you need to enter your number and the number of the person you want to call. Qttel will then connect your call. Note that each call can last up to 5 minutes. You can, however, dial the number again to speak to the same person. You can even use their widget on your blogs, websites or your Facebook and MySpace profile. There are no registrations, no downloads, and no payments!!
The only flip side is that you can make calls from only 5 countries (Australia, Canada, UK, Holland, and USA). So if you are in one of these countries, you can stop reading and head straight to Qttel. But if you are not in one of these countries, do not worry…TruVoIP is here to help. All you need to use this service is a local number in one of the 5 countries listed above. While you can buy DIDs relatively cheaply in any of these countries, you can get a US number for FREE from one of the free DID providers like Ipkall or Gizmoproject. You can learn more about how to use Voxalot to do this here. So get yourself a US number and forward it to your Voxalot account. Then you can use one the 6 methods to use VoIP listed here to be reached on your US number.
Given that most of our calls are less than 5 minutes, this is a great solution (you cannot complaint..its free) for most of our telecom needs!!!
