Google Voice Service opens up : Apply and register

Sometime back, we blogged about the Google voice service. Actually Google took over Grandcentral voip service and launched it in the name of Google Voice. Earlier the Google Voice service was available to only already registered grandcentral users, but now Google Voice service has opened up for other people too.

Google Voice gives users a single number for all their phones. With already such a big name in the internt world, Google Voice is sure to get a huge number of users pretty soon. Google has always been the leader in whatever field it enters, and I am sure its entering the Voip world will create some sort of insecurity in minds of other voip providers.

So, if you have already requested for invitation from Google Voice, you should have got an invite to join their service (or will get it in a few more days). But if you have not filled for an invitation, its time to do so. Just fill this page of Google Voice, and they will send you an invitation to join their service.

YupeePhone offers 120 free minutes every month : Cheap Voip calls

Few days back Tuitalk decreased their free minutes to India, Actionvoip increased their call rates to India. But you need not to worry as we have found another good cheap deal for calling India.

YupeePhone was discussed on this blog about 6-7 months back when they started their voip service. YupeePhone offered monthly plans for calling India, Pakistan and it was a big hit. However with time the popularity faded out But YupeePhone has again picked a boom in the voip market. This time YupeePhone has come up with some amazing plans, cheapest rates, good customer support, many calling options and lots of other features.

Though YupeePhone offers some great plans for calling a lot of countries, lets first discuss the plans for India.

YupeePhone Pay as you go Plan : You can test the YupeePhone service for as low as $2 (yeah unlike betamax it does offers you flexibility to buy such minimum credit).

The calling rate to India is just 1.65 cent per minute to mobiles. The cost for every phone call is calculated per minute and there are no connecting fees, weekly fees, or maintenance fees.

The best part (a good deal offered by YupeePhone)
All customers in the Pay As You Go plan can receive 120 free minutes every month to select destinations (INDIA included). In order to activate the offer you have to add at least an initial payment of $20 into your account and to keep it you have to add one $20 payment every 4 months.

Tuitalk reduces call duration to 2 min per call to India

I am sure every regular reader of this blog must be aware of Tuitalk. Tuitalker gained much popularity only when it started offering free calls to India (though they were offering free international calls to many other countries about 40).

Tuitalk free international calls offer (specially to India was a big hit). Tuitalk, a Free Pc to Phone calling service, initially it was even offering free India to India calls but later restricted calls from other countries to India. (People of India were restricted from usin Tuitalk software). I myself used the service for a good period of time. Earlier the call duration was of 10 min (it offered 10min/day free minutes).

Tuitalk post has recently received many user comments informing us about the reduction of free minutes. Tuitalk has reduced the call duration to just 2min/per to a max of 3 calls per day. That makes a total of just 6 min per day.....lol. Are they kiddin...???

When the call rates of Pc to Phone services like Nymgo, call rates of Betamax services and even call rates of calling card like Pingo is so less, why would people still go for these 2min/call deal. (this means you save only 2-3 cents...lol..not even Rs 1.).

I guess Tuitalk seriously needs to think about their update. I am sure a lot many people would stop using their free service. I guess either they are not finding advertisers to pay for calls or whatever reason they need to work it out.

BudgetSIP : Cheap Voip SIP Calls to India

Though I myself not in favour of Betamax services but the cheapest rates offered by them has led many to use Betamax voip providers. Making cheap calls to India aint a big deal now. A lot of voip providers are offering very cheap calls to India in the range of 1-2 cents per minute.

You may be successfully using ActionVoip or SmartVoip for making voip calls to India, but we thought to look for other options or betamax services which are offering similar low cost calling deals. Few days back we discussed VoipLip (a new launch by betamax offering very cheap calls to India).

Today we discuss about BudgetSip. BudgetSip has been talked about on this blog in initial days of its launch. BudgetSip is very popular among voip callers. BudgetSip is a very good option for making cheap voip calls to India.

India is included in the SuperDeal of BudgetSip (Many betamax providers offer really cheap to countries included in SuperDeal).

You would be charged 1.9 cents per minutes by BudgetSip making calls to Indian landlines and would be charged 1.7cents per minute for making calls to Indian mobiles.

Offcourse you can download the voip software (PC application) for making Pc to Phone calls, but many people now prefer making Phone to Phone calls using SIP (a widely used option now).
