Rebtel Free SMS Voucher Code : How to send SMS using Rebtel

Rebtel is world's second largest voip provider and a very popular one on this blog. We have so many readers who only use Rebtel for all their calling needs, many just consider it way better Skype. Good thing about them is that they keep on bringing new promotions and offers for both old and new customers. Infact not only people use Rebtel for making cheap international calls, but also for sending international text message (sms). In this post, we will be discussing about a its latest promotion for sending free SMS, named "Free SMS Campaign by Rebtel".

Gone are the days when people used their telecom network for sending sms. Now a days prefer using instant messaging applications on their smartphones (which allows you to send free message to person also using the same app). Interestingly Rebtel also has that feature in its smartphone applications. But the problem is this works only if you want to send message to person also using the Rebtel app.

What if you want to send sms to a normal mobile (not a smartphone). You will be charged heavily if you use your normal telecom for sending international message. The only choice you have is to shift to voip and use services like Rebtel or Localphone.

All new customers have a chance to get free sms from rebtel. Lets see this in detail.


Rebtel Free 100 SMS Campaign [Expired]


If you check the text messaging prices for most voip providers and telecom companies, then SMS are way to costly and if you are sending international text message, then you have to shell out good amount of money. That is where Rebtel is handy. It offers very cheap international sms as compared to your telecom provider. SMS rates of Rebtel are cheap compared to other voip providers as well. And now they giving away free text messages as a first deposit bonus.

Skype Vs Oovoo : Skype Alternatives for Video Calls, Video Conference

I am pretty sure that you are aware of Skype. It's the world largest voip provider. Many people which includes many of our blog readers use Skype for making video calls. Skype is a very popular voip application for making voice and video calls. The good thing is that it is available for almost all devices like PC, Android Mobiles, iPhone, iPad, Android Tablets etc. However that does not mean, Skype is the only good video calling application. Oovoo is another very popular voip application used by many for making video calls. It also offers application for all the platforms. I am also a regular user of Oovoo.

Since ooVoo has gained so much popularity, it is giving tough competition to Skype. Many are calling it as Skype killer and it is being rated as best Skype Alternative for voice and video calling. So, we thought to have a one on one comparison of Skype Vs Oovoo. Though both of them are offering video and voice calls, still both of them have many different features. You will only know the difference when you try both : Skype and OoVoo. ooVoo is certainly one good Skype alternative.

Skype Vs ooVoo

  • Skype : Skype allows calls only to other Skype users. If you have Skype however your friend does not have Skype app then you won't be able to call him.
  • OoVoo : ooVoo allows to make calls to your friends who have not downloaded the Oovoo app. This is possible from their web browser with the Web Video Calling feature. This is one great feature, because many times you are traveling, or at a public place, using office laptop, friend's computer where you cannot download the application.

  • Skype : Skype allows video calls from Facebook as well. That is, you can make calls to all of your Skype or Facebook contacts. A great feature by Skype.
  • ooVoo : ooVoo does not have Facebook integration!

  • Skype :  If you are in US, then you must be aware of Skype hotspots, allowing you to get online anywhere there’s a hotspot using Skype credits, paying only what you use.
  • ooVoo : Does not offer such hotspots.

  • ooVoo : allows to embed video on your blog, websites or facebook. That is, it allows video recording which you can upload to youtube or any other site. 
  • Skype :  I guess Skype does not allow any video recording feature.

  • ooVoo : It is the best software for video conferencing. It allows twelve-way video chatting. This is a ideal software for business people.
  • Skype : Though Skype offers video conference with multiple people but the thing is that it is a premium service and you will have to shell out money to use it. However you can voice chat with upto 25 people for free.

  • Skype can be used on a PC, android, tablet. You can install Skype on your mobile phone, laptop or on TV as well. You can make video calls direct from contact list. For TVs, you can purchase a Skype-ready television (Samsung TV are also providing this feature). Skype-to-Skype calling is free, but you can call anywhere in the world on Skype and pay from 1.2 cents a minute (via credit or subscription).
  • ooVoo is also available for your computer, mobile phone, or tablet. The app is very easy to use, the best part being web based video calling. The only concern is calling plans which ooVoo offers. ooVoo also offers app for Mac.

  • Video Call Quality : I have tried both the software and video calling experience was equally great on both of them. It would be difficult to rate one higher on another based on call quality.
Skype and ooVoo are both equally great with many unique features. ooVoo is preferable only if you're using group video chat. If you plan to video chat one-on-one or group chat without video, Skype is superior.
 

VoipWise Rates and Review : Download for Android, Mac, iPhone : Make Free Calls

Voipwise is another popular betamax program. If you are familiar with betamax services and have used them in the past, then you can consider using Voipwise as well. For others, betamax services are some group of different voip providers like Jumblo, ActionVoip, Rynga etc. Each of these service offer very cheap rates to some countries. The only problem with them is that they tend to change the pricing very often! Some people also face problems while making calls. However that said, many people still like betamax (if it works for you, then it is the best), and the calling rates offered by betamax services is just too good. So, today we will review Voipwise.

Voipwise is offering unlimited free calls to about 30+ countries in their calling plan (freedays). You can use Voipwise on your computer, iPhone, Android, Nokia or any other mobile phone. Call quality depends on the internet speed you are getting. Normally the call quality is good (not too great!). Its a very old service, and many people have been using it for a long time now. So lets take each of important point about Voipwise!


Free Calls by Voipwise

VoipWise is offering free calls to following destinations :

Australia Austria Belgium Canada Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Japan Latvia Luxembourg Netherlands Norway Portugal Russian Federation [moscow] Slovenia South Korea Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey United Kingdom United States (+mobile) 

I checked the free call page of Voipwise and they have not mentioned anything there. However on rates page, they have mentioned that "FREE CALLS are available for users with Freedays." So yeah, its the same old Freedays thing with Voipwise as well. Registered users get max 300 minutes per week of free calls, measured over the last 7 days and per unique IP address. Unused free minutes cannot be taken to the following week(s). If limit is exceeded the normal rates apply. During your Freedays you can call all destinations listed as 'Free' for free. When you have run out of Freedays, the normal rates apply. You can get new Freedays by buying credit. As long as you have some minimum credit in your account, calls to these countries will be free. 

VoipWise Calling Rates | Voipwise Rates

Clearly calls to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh are not free and you will have to shell out some money to make calls to these destinations. Calls to India are at 3.5 cents per min, Bangladesh at 3.7 cents per min, Calls to Pakistan are at 9.2 cents per min.

So Voipwise aint cheap for calls to other countries apart from free destinations. I would then prefer Jumblo over voipwise : simple because it offers cheap rates and free calls to some countries as well (similar to voipwise).


How to make Calls using Voipwise
  • Download voipwise voip software PC application. It is free to download.
  • Configure SIP on SIP client / Voip Device

You can also make SIP calls using Voipwise.

So, if you are in India, Pakistan, USA, Canada or Bangladesh or any other country, as long as you are connected to internet on your mobile (android), you can use SaviiPhone and make free calls.

Lets get into detail about this SaviiPhone application. With the SAViiPhone app, you can very easly make local and international calls through the Internet using your 3G/4G/LTE data plan or WiFi.

As claimed by SaviiPhone, they use some different technology to provide these calls. The calls are of great quality even on slow internet. So, you won't experience the difference between normal calls and voip calls by SaviiPhone. It will be just another call!

SaviiPhone Android Application Features

The current version of SAViiPhone is in BETA. Not all devices are fully tested yet. Please note that free minutes are based on calls to Canada and the United States. Other locations are included but the duration of the free calls may vary depending on the rate/minute. So, in short : you will be able to place calls to other countries as well, however the free call duration will vary!

I have checked the calling rates to many countries, and found most of them expensive as compared to others. Like :
Calling Rate to India : 4.6 cents per min
Calling Rate to  Pakistan : 14.5 cents per min
Calling Rate to Bangladesh : 13.5 cents per min.


The interesting thing about SaviiPhone pricing was its monthly plans (postpaid plans). As this post is already very long, so we will discuss the SaviiPhone Monthly plans in some other post!

    Nokia Lumia 610 release in India : Features, Review, Specs

    iPhone and Android mobiles have captured almost all of the smartphone market. Nokia is trying to gain back its customer base by launching the new windows based mobiles phones! The latest entry in the smartphone market by Nokia is the range of Nokia Lumia phones. Nokia launched the series of lumia phones sometime back : Nokia Lumia, 800, 710, 610, 900 etc...

    Nokia lumia 800 and 710 have already been launched in India market and are easily available on flipkart. But the much awaited phone in Indian market is the low range phone (approx 10K-11K) Nokia Lumia 610. Nokia Lumia 610 has some good features and the price is also less. This phone has created a lot of hype in the market and many people are eagerly awaiting for it. The main reason being comparable features with high end Nokia 710/800 but price being very less. Lets just quickly check out this phone features.

    Nokia Lumia 610 Specifications | Features

    • Size : 119 x 62 x 12 mm
    • Weight : 131.5 gms
    • Display : TFT capacitive touchscreen, 256K colors
    • Display Resolution : 480 x 800 pixels, 3.7 inches (~252 ppi pixel density)
    • Protection : Gorilla Glass
    • Storage : 8 GB storage, 256 MB RAM
    • External Memory : No card slot
    • Primary Camera : 5 MP, 2592х1944 pixels, autofocus, LED flash
    • Secondary Camera : No
    • Operating System : Microsoft Windows Phone 7.5 Mango
    • Chip : Qualcomm MSM7227A Snapdragon
    • CPU : 800 MHz ARM Cortex-A5
    • GPU : Adreno 200
    Well as I can see that the phone has good internal memory of 8GB which is good for music, photos and all. But the lack of a card slot makes it difficult for people add movies and all!

    At the camera side, the primary camera is good at 5MP but again lack of secondary camera means NO Video Calls on Nokia Lumia 610! A big disappointment. But yeah what can you expect at such low price.

    No doubt the screen response of the phone is good. I saw a good user review on gsm arena and thought to share you with all.
    "I've been having this device since 22nd. May 2012 :
    User interface : very friendly and fast , intuitive (NOKIA's best ever idea )
    Speed : very fast download
    Display : clear , bright even on direct sunlight .
    The only thing is that I'm still not sure if it has Corning Gorilla Glass - so I wrote to Corning so that can make that clear once and for all.
    Sound : very good both on ear piece and head set
    Mobile Net connection : no problem what so ever
    Wireless connectivity : excellent as far as I'm concerned...the device lets you know instantly on a "top of the screen bar"
    Battery life : good so far !
    Applications : now , here We would need more applications for this device ! on screen weather for instance , something like Psiloc World Traveler or WorldMate .....I was very happy with those to applications on My previous phone ( Nokia E 63 ).
    Personalisation: Could be better !

    Overall experience : fun , fresh , could have not expected anything less than this from Nokia !"
    Coming to the phone's expected price in India.


     

    Nokia Lumia 610 Price in India


    Phone is not yet launched in India, however many people in the industry believe that the phone approximate cost will be around 10K. With Samsung and HTC low range android phone already in the market, it will be difficult for this phone to compete with them.

    My personal choice will be Nokia Lumia 610 as compared to low range samsung or htc mobiles. The reason being speed, processor, and user experience. No doubt that android mobiles are good but android works good only on high processor. I have used low range samsung galaxy mobile and a big NO from my side. These phones hangs, application crashes (facebook does not even open) and the lag in the devices. 
    So anyday Nokia Lumia 610 is better than these (below 10K range android mobiles) simple because of processing speed and the response. But yeah, if you are an Android fan then simple go with Android, Nokia ain't for you!

    Nokia Lumia 610 Release Date in India


    Few days back, Nokia announced in the Nokia Strategy Summit that the Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 610 would hit the India market in 3rd Quarter of 2012. That's again a long wait!
