Economy Calling Review : Free ISD Calls, Voicemails, Phone Calls
I have tried Economy calling for making Free Mobile calls from my India number to a friend in India itself. You can use economy calling for making free ISD calls as well (Free international calls).
The call quality was good, call was connected instantly, everything was ok in the calling part.
I have had chat with their customer support with all the queries. Firstly their live support was very helpful. Please read on as this information will help you using Economy Calling and will answer most of your queries.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: I am Madhur from Free PC to Phone Calls Blog. I would like to post about economy calling on my blog. So would like to have my few questions answered. Hope you can help.
EconomyCalling Operator: I shall try to assist you to my fullest.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: How to get make free calls with economycalling.
EconomyCalling Operator: To get the Free Trial Call:
1. Visit http://www.economycalling.com/
2. Select your country and enter your phone number
3. Select your friend's country and enter the phone number
4. click “Submit”
5. Call the given Access Number from your phone, wait for 2 ring and hang up
6. You will receive a call on the mentioned numbers.
** Please note calls to EconomyCalling callback numbers will not be charged.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: Is this service same as spokenrecall ?
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes. Minus the call recording and transcription.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: What is the call duration of free trial call ? I have tried it, it seems it is limited to only one minute. Is it so ?
EconomyCalling Operator: During the Free Trial period, where we limit per call to one minute. User is allowed to make maximum of 10 calls in a day to any contact.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: Can we make free trial call from any number in world to any number ? Like calling Cuba from India. Because call rates to Cuba are already very high.
EconomyCalling Operator: Free Trial calls will be limited to Free destinations only. For paid destination the user will need to register to our service pay online and then continue using the service.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: I can see almost every country in the your friend number list on the homepage.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes, on home page we have listed all the countries. But callbacks to only free destinations will be allowed
FreePctoPhoneCalls: I tried calling from India to India, it worked. So it seems India and many other countries are included in Free destinations. I guess the ones where calling rate if high are not included in free destinations by economy calling.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes exactly.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: You assign a number for each destnation number. Can I save this number and call it again whenever I want to call my destination. This will save a lot of time for me.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes, in fact after the user makes a call to the caller-destination combination, we ask the users to save in their phone book for future use. So the user need not come to web all the time
FreePctoPhoneCalls: What is the minimum amount of credit which people need to buy from economy calling in order to get a registered users.
EconomyCalling Operator: We do not have minimum credit defined right now. The user is allowed to make a call, until he has a minimum balance in his account for the call.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: No, I mean can I register myself with $1 credit.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes you can, but we do warn you of low balance.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: What are the benefits of being a registered user than keep trying the free trial call feature (10 calls a day).
EconomyCalling Operator: As mentioned earlier, free trial are limit to free destinations, and to 1 minute per call. Also only 10 calls per day.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: If I sign up with economy calling by buying some credit, then will I be eligible for 10 free calls a day or do I have to always pay for the calls. Like, if I want to make a one min call : will I be charged for that, Considering I was not charged for trial call. So, after registration will I be charged ?
EconomyCalling Operator: Once you register, free trial period is ended. And the user pays according to the rates defined on the website. A registered user, can speak as long as he has enough credit, and calls will be unlimited.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: I guess, then the people who only want one minute call to free destination will not be attracted to buy credit and be a registered user.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: Do you provide access number in all the countries. Like if a person wants to register from UAE. I am asking this because many voip services don't work in Dubai/UAE.
EconomyCalling Operator: Depending on the demand from the users and area feasibility we plan to set up Access Numbers to most of the countries in the world.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: Does it currently work for people who want to call India from Dubai.
EconomyCalling Operator: Regarding middle east countries, it is not feasible to set up Access Numbers. That is the reason we have this callback service where the user calls a toll free number and they receive a callback.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: So economy calling works for Middle east countries, where people can give a ring to your international access number/toll free number. And economy calling callback their number.
EconomyCalling Operator: Yes, but only for paid users.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: Ok. That's good enough. Anything that you would like to add about economy calling. I can share it with my blog readers.
EconomyCalling Operator: Thanks a lot. Economy Calling is a very simple to use telephone efficiency service used to make and receive calls all over the world.
FreePctoPhoneCalls: I agree with you. Economy Calling is very simple to use voip service with the callback model. I really appreciate it. Thanks for your time.
EconomyCalling Operator: Thank You for using Live Support.

Why I Don't Need the iPad 2...
- You might want to ask this question yourself - if I already have the first generation iPad, do I need to upgrade and get the new iPad 2 which is expected to be launch in March 2, 2011?
- Personally my answer would be a "NO".... Why?
- I can be proudly considered myself as one of the earliest iPad owner (bought it in April 15, 2010). The ways I use my iPad have changed in the early months. From the first month, second month and third month. I have Jailbroken it several times. Purchased several accessories for it including a wireless keyboard and the camera connection kit.
- But somehow, things have changed drastically when I bought the latest Macbook Air which arrived Nov. 4, 2010. The size, weight and power of MBA attracted me so much that I have used the MBA more often and less on my iPad.
- It seems that all the things which I did on my iPad can be done better on my MBA!! I rarely bring along my iPad to office since its proved not to be the best device for office work. My iPhone is sufficient to cater my iPad needs at office. At work and home, my MBA is my new "best friend".
- Thus, when rumors mentioned about the latest iPad 2 with its new specs, somehow it didn't excite me (like it used to excite me every time Apple launch a new product). For an Apple Fanboy, its weird eh?
- However, let's see in March 2 when Apple reveal the iPad 2 and see whether if there is truly a new breakthrough technology. Apple fans are also quite disappointed with the recent release of Macbook Pros. Hope, Steve Jobs will not disappoint the fans again...

Of course, defeating South Korea's Internet connection Internet connection the United States.
In fact, predicted that the end of 2012, all South Korean homes have access 1Gb/second.
The statement reports the New York Times. That figure is a 10-fold increase in South Korean national standard and 200 times faster than the average household connections in the United States.
"100 Mbps is available in the South, but the price can not be reached by the public. Understandably, it costs hundreds of dollars per month," said David Belson, Akamai's Head of Market Intelligence.
Akamai's report is once again showing how mobile networks are also demanding greater data rates.
About 83 of 109 providers offer speeds greater than 22 Mbps, 33 offers a 5 Mbps 10 Mbps and 6 providers. Average global mobile speed varies between 105 Kbps to 7.2 Mbps. Unique variation of this rate can also be found in Slovakia.
Countries in Asia dominate the cities with the fastest Internet access in the world. In a ranking of twenty large, dominated by the cities in South Korea and Japan.
Here's a list ranking the internet access speed:
1. South Korea 12Mbps
2. Hong Kong 9Mbps
3. Japan 7.8Mbps
4. Romania 6.3Mbps
5. Latvia 6.3Mbps
6. Sweden 6.1Mbps
7. Dutch 5.9Mbps
8. Czech 5.4Mbps

Localphone SIP Settings | Localphone Fring | Localphone Android
One of our reader just mailed me about Localphone usage, how to use Localphone on mobile (smartphone). So if you are using a smartphone : android based, symbain based or iPhone you can use Localphone directly without using direct access number.
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).
For people living in countries where Localphone does not provide local access number, or if you don't have local calls free (no mobile cap minutes) then Localphone SIP Settings prove really good.
1. First Install Fring on your smartphone. Download from Apple Store or Android Market place.
I have tried on both and it works great.
2. Get the your Localphone SIP details of your account.
You will get Localphone SIP username and password on Localphone --> Voip page.
Like :
Localphone SIP Account Details
- Your SIP ID is xxxxxx

4. Click SIP and add the following details :
SIP username : Your localphone SIP ID.
SIP Password : Your Localphone SIP Password.
SIP Proxy : localphone.com
4. Done! To make call, go to dialer. Enter your number and click SIP.
Now you can make voip calls using Localphone directly from your mobile. Fring for Localphone works great. If you face any problems setting the Localphone SIP, please let us know in comment section. We will provide you with a solution.

Fring Login Failed | Fring Login Problem | Fring Login Please Wait
When you have registered with fring, you are signed in automatically. Its good till the time you keep yourself signed in, because when you log out it takes a lot of time (and problems) to login again. I have faced this problem a very few times on my iPod Touch/iPhone but this is very common for my android phone (Android 2.2 Froyo).
Fring screen just freezes at the login screen and keeps looping and tells you that the login failed . Please try again later?
I have been able to get pass this Fring Login Problem by :
1. Try loggin later after few minutes.
2. Retyping your password. --> Mostly solves my problem 70% of times.
3. Connecting to internet again and login in.
4. Login in to Fring account from Pc at the same time. This solves the problem rest 30% of times.
Once login, I avoid logging out of Fring.
If your problem says "please check credentials", then you just need to re-enter your username and password. Try the step 4 above.
You can also try getting the password (password recovery of Fring) by clicking forgot your password.
I did some more research on this Fring Login Problem, Fring Login Failed Problem for Android and other Phones, this is what I got on internet :
Registration failed is shown when one of the following happens:
1. You’ve previously registered to fring and you’re trying to enter a wrong password.
2. You’ve registered before on WM with a password that contains weird characters.
3. You’re trying to register with non English characters.
4. You’re trying to connect with a WAP connection.
I also checked the Fring Support page (found a large number of people facing the same issue), however it is mentioned that its a old problem and contact support. But no perfect solution.
So, if you know a perfect solution for this Fring Android Login Problem, please share the solution with us. Otherwise just try the above steps and get temporary rid of the Fring Login Problem.

Epic 4G, CDMA SmartPhone With Android Froyo From Samsung
They are the Galaxy Samsung Ace, Samsung Galaxy Fit, and Samsung Galaxy S II. But, there is one type of Samsung Galaxy that are still pending.
Epic is the Samsung 4G, or also known as the Samsung Galaxy S Pro. After a delayed several times, finally it appears CDMA-based smartphone with Android operating system V.2.2 (Froyo).
For Sprint, CDMA operators from the U.S. who first pet Epic 4G, this news may be disappointing. For class smartphone Epic 4G, which incidentally is the most advanced smartphone while Sprint is expected to appear with Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread).
The presence of Epic 4G is too late. A number of other smartphone that also supports Froyo 4G technology has been used for months.

Both are still waiting for adoption Froyo improvement. As known, most Android phones in circulation today is version 2.2. So, Samsung is clearly lagging.

- Apple silently launched the latest Macbook Pro today via its Online Store.
- All-new quad-core processors. Thunderbolt technology. The FaceTime HD camera. MacBook Pro has more than its share of innovations

Mac OS X Lion: Available to Developers
Although Mac OS X Lion is still a while away, software developers signed up for Apple's Developer Program got an early look. OS X Lion is coming sometime in summer 2011, so the version of the operating system the developer's go is still in it's early stages. Still, what the developer's saw had some cool features.
This new version of OS X brings the best features of the iPad onto the big screen size and more powerful specs of the macs.
Apple integrates the elegant home screen of the iPad onto the Mac, and allows you to click the little black Launchpad icon on the dock a the bottom of the screen. Any open Windows fade away, and an iPad like grid of icons appear. This is where you can find all of your apps. The apps can be dragged into folders, which look and open just like the folders on the iPad and iPhone.
Launchpad Screen |
A new and funnily named feature in Mac OS X is Mission Control. Mission control allows you to see everything that's running on your Mac, from a birds eye kind of view. It shows little icons of running apps, the dashboard, and the desktop.
Mission Control |
The new version of he OS also allows you to resume exactly where you left off when you restart your Mac. There is no more need to save and close everything, and then restart it all when you turn on your computer again.
A few new features come in the new Mail app, Mail 5. Mail now supports conversations, which groups a conversation of emails in one group, rather than showing ten emails separately. The layout of the app is also redesigned for the Mac's widescreen. It shows the one line preview on the left side of the screen, as well as a full height preview at the right.
The last main feature is called AirDrop. AirDrop allows you to share files with others wirelessly. To use AirDrop, you click the icon in the Finder, and you then see any Macs around you also using AirDrop. If they are in your contacts, you can even see their profile picture. To share a file, just drag a file to the other users profile. They can then accept the file, and it will start to download.
Overall, this seems like a very exciting update to the Mac operating system. The fact that Apple is bringing it's Macs closer to the iPad scares some. The iPad is a very closed platform. Any apps must be approved by Apple to be included in the App Store. With the recent launch of the Mac App Store, it seems that the Mac platform is getting less and less open, giving Apple more control. The end user thinks that the closed platform of the iPad is great, but overall it gives more control to Apple, which isn't necessarily a good thing.
