Apart from these unlimited free calling plans, few months back Raketu launched click to call me feature. I guess as they say, it has been very successgul with people putting the click to call me button in their email signature, forums, etc.


Raketu has a update on Click to call me service.

The current click-to-callme allows computer-to-phone calls from a single click on any browser on any computer - without a download. Well, Raketu has just added the ability for phone-to-phone calls also! This allows people to enter their phone number, click the callme button, and their phone will ring and be connected to your phone - all anonymously. So, if someone does not have a headset, they can still use click-to-callme feature. Great..!!
