Muftpone Review : voip service does not work

Latel you must have found a lot of comments on various blogs and voip forums about Muftphone, claiming to offer free 10 minutes or free 2 hours of international calls.

On Free Pc to Phone calls too, many comments have been posted by some users about Muftphone. I myself tries to test the service many a times, in hope that it will work and I will write a positive review. But all in vain, everytime I have tried the service does not works for me.

As seen, many others have also tried this Muftphone voip service (muft - free in Hindi, basically claiming that they offer free Phone calls, or freephone) but they were also not able to place calls.

Basically we are not even able to register getting different kinds of error, most common "Please Submit your information in correct way..".

So, I would suggest you not to try this Muftphone service. Its waste of your time. Better go for other cheap and free calls offer to India and other countries.

Hi,

You all must have heard about Globe7. It is one of the most earliest voip provider in the market (offcourse Skype is prob oldest one). Globe7 started with offering Free Pc to Phone calls by watching videos. They used to serve videos ads and offer free calls.

However they soon turned to a paid voip provider offering a cool voip softphone with cheap calling rates. The calling rate to India was lowered to 2 cents per min but now when I checked the Globe7 website the calling rate to India mobile is 1.28 cents/min.

The present calling rate to India offered by Globe7 is 1.28cents/min. So, if you are looking for a cheap voip provider and are willing to make Pc to Phone calls then Globe7 is a good option.

Hey..the aim of this post is that many people have sent a mail to me complaining about Nymgo and Mediaingtalk (which are two most widely used Pc to Phone calls provider for India). So I thought to let you people know a few more cheap options to make cheap calls to India.

Send Cheap International SMS : Cheap SMS to India by Localphone

So far we have discussed a lot of deals for making cheap international voip calls, specially making very cheap calls to India. However it is a fact that text messaging is equally used by people all over the world.

Many people send international SMS on regular basis, specially on special occasions to wish anyone. So many of you must also be aware that SMS rates aint cheap, and you need to spend some bucks to send international SMS.

So why not use Voip and other internet service to send SMS. If you talk about sending text message to India from your PC (you have many free sms options..most popular 160by2). Also the calling rate to India is lower than sending SMS to India. However to other countries there are very few free options.

Also you sometimes dont want to send sms from anonymous number but want to display your number as the ID (like callerID).

A very popular Voip service, Localphone is quite useful for that (though many many voip services offer cheap sms services).

LocalPhone is halving their SMS rates to all destinations from now until the end of February. This has bring down the SMS rates to quite low. Some of the destinations and their SMS rates:

Destination USD
Bangladesh 2.5¢
China 4.5¢
Germany 6.5¢
India 2.5¢
Pakistan 2.5¢
South Africa 3¢
Thailand 2.5¢
UAE 3¢

In order to send SMS, just logon to your LocalPhone
dashboard and start sending !!

Update : Localphone is running a promotional offer. When you sigh up with $1 credit, you will get $2.5 credit. That's additional $1.5 credit as bonus.
$1.5 credit is worth 100 minutes to India. This makes cheapest voip provider to India with effective rate of just 0.6 cents per minute. This offer can be used to call other countries as well. What are you waiting for. Just try Localphone.
(No expiry of credit, good voice quality, and sign up with as low as $1).

VoipGain offers cheap calls to Pakistan and India

In the recent past we have discussed about so many offers to make cheap and free calls to India. So, we now thought to search some good options to make cheap internaional phone calls to other destination.

We all know, calling Pakistan aint a cheap deal now days. But there are some voip providers which offer you very cheap rates to call Pakistan. Betaxmax is one of them. Today we talk about VoipGain (for calling Pakistan).

Obviously those calling India, must be aware of VoipGain as it is one among those offering 1 cent per minute to call India. Yes VoipGain offers 1 eurocent per minute to make calls to India mobile.

If you check VoipGain calling rates to Pakistan then you will find them to be very cheap. VoipGain offers 1.5 eurocent per minute to make calls to Pakistan Landline phones. To call Pakistan mobile, you will have to spend out 3 eurocent per minute. I guess looking at the call rates offered by other voip providers, Voipgain is a good option.

Similar to other betamax services you can either VoipGain softphone or make phone to phone calls using SIP settings.
