LocalPhone Review : LocalPhone User Review

Yesterday we posted about LocalPhone offering free International calls to USA and Canada from anywhere in the world. I am sure many of you must have made use of the offer to make free calls on 4th July, the Independance Day. LocalPhone is one of the most trusted and most widely used voip provider.

Many of our blog readers may already be using LocalPhone for their international and national calling needs. Specially, many NRI use LocalPhone for calling India. There are lots of reasons for that. I am myself using Localphone.com for quite a long time now and have been quite satisfied with LocalPhone Voip service.



Update (Feb 2011): Now you can also use the following Localphone voucher code and get free bonus credit. When you join Localphone, you will get first call free and some bonus credit.
Your first call is free and you’ll get a $10 bonus when you top up by $15 using the voucher code NEWUSER11. New Call rate to India is just 1.59 cent per min. After bonus it will cost you effective rate of just 1 cent per min.

Mr Hitesh, one of the regular readers of Free Pc to Phone calls, shares his experience of using LocalPhone. He regularly uses localphone for calling India from USA. Below is his review about LocalPhone.

"I am using localphone for like last 18 months. It's a Uk based VOIP provider which offer phone calls to various destinations.

First thing which I like about LocalPhone is its quality. The call quality (voice quality) is really excellent. There is no busy signal, no call drop or any voice drop sort of problem, indeed a complete peace of mind.

Second thing is its easy to use service. Only one time set up is required. I am using it to call India form USA. For each Indian number they give me one local USA number. So I just dial that number and my call get forwarded to my Indian destination number. They also have local access number, so I can even call any unregistered number. Another great thing about LocalPhone is that it also give local number from other 45 countries.

Third thing is that their rates are very reasonable. For e.g. to call India it is just 2.9 cent per minute. And they also reduce it periodically, when I was calling 18 months back, the rate was 6 cent per minute. Now it is just 2.9 cent per minute. So we do not have to find another cheap and better service provider.

Last but not least is there are no confusing plans and fees like monthly fees, service fees, expiration date of credit, so I do not have to worry about expiring minutes or unused credit.

In my opinion those who really looking for quality service at reasonable rate LocalPhone is the answer for you. "

Cheers to Hitesh for such a nice review..!!

LG LX370

LG LX370 has a far more traditional slider style, and not in an unattractive way either. We liked the new Sprint One Click interface, as well as features like a 2.0 megapixel camera, GPS, and EV-DO Rev. 0. That combined with great performance and call quality, and the LG LX370 is a pretty good midtier handset for Sprint customers. The LG LX370 is available for $99.99 after a two year contract. Measuring 4.06 inches long by 1.89 inches wide by 0.63 inch thick, LG LX370 has a fairly standard slider design.

It is smooth and sleek, with curved corners and an all silver color scheme. The front surface is very reflective and can be used as a mirror, while the back surface is covered in tiny dotted bumps for texture and extra grip. The slider mechanism feels sturdy, and it's quite lightweight at 3.7 ounces. It has a really nice 2 inch display with 262,000 colors and a 240x320 pixel QVGA resolution. The screen is rich and vibrant with color, and we like how it shows off the menu's animated icons.

You can adjust the screen's backlight time, plus the font size for messages, the browser, and the notepad. Along the bottom row of the home screen is a special screen navigation interface called One Click, a custom interface found only on Sprint phones. It consists of eight shortcut tiles, which can be customized with any of 14 applications or functions. As you flip through the tiles, a menu of each application's options will pop up.

You can have shortcuts to the messaging menu, the Web browser, e-mail, Sprint Navigation, Sprint TV, plus a menu for even more shortcuts. There's even a Google shortcut that gives you instant access to Search, Google Maps, Gmail, and YouTube. You can also add a "bubble" to the home screen with special ticker information like financial updates, brief news headlines, or your latest horoscope.

Underneath the display is the navigation array, which consists of two soft keys, a circular navigation toggle with a middle Menu and OK key, the Talk key, the Back key, and the End or Power key. The volume rocker and charger jack are on the left spine, while the camera key, a voice command key, the microSD card slot, and the headset jack are on the right. The voice command key also brings up the recent calls list with a short press. Turn the phone around and you'll find the camera lens and external speaker on the back.

DialSimple calling plan to India review

There are plenty of voip providers in this market, each one of them boasting about its calling plan. You really be careful while choosing your voip provider and the calling plan. You might end up paying high or to the wrong one. One example is with betamax, some people just buy too much credit from betamax and when beamax increases their call rates (or they face any other problems), their money effectively is wasted.

Today, we talk about the voip provider named Dialsimple. It has launched its new calling plan for India. Depending upon the credit you buy from them, your call rate will vary. Dialsimple is offering lowest call rate to India at 1.9 cents per minute.

But your call rate to India will be 1.9 cent/min only when you buy credit worth $30. If you buy for $20, you get 800minutes with effective calling rate of 2.5c/min. The call rate further rises if you buy less credit.

The only good point about the offer is that credit never expires. But there is a catch. These call rates are only for a month. Suppose, you buy credit worth $30 on 1st july, during one month that is till 1st August, your call rate to India will be 1.9 cents per minute. Now durin this month say you used only $10 credit, then remaining $20 credit will carry forward but now your call rate to India will not be 1.9 cents per minute but 4.9 cents per minute.

Firstly, their is nothing great about Dialsimple that people should go for it. Secondly the plan aint exciting at all. Who will buy $30 credit in a month, people tend to buy credit in small chunks and it should be so. It aint worth buying so much credit at one go, suppose you don't like the service then all your credit gets wasted. Neither it is offering such cheap calls. We have already discussed cheaper plans to India.

I guess, Dialsimple needs to rethink about the plan it is offering to India. In my opinion calling plans to India offered by voip providers like YupeePhone are better...!!
