Truphone,once a great Free Mobile VOIP Service lost the ground when they stopped offering free mobile voip calls to 40 countries. However they are now back in the VOIP market with a flat monthly billing Unlimited Calling Package which included 40 countries around the world including India,Pakistan, bangladesh and many more.
If you don't know what TruPhone is, its basically a Mobile VOIP Service that means you need to have a Mobile which supports Wifi and SIP. Truphone also works over GPRS, but the call quality could be poor due to lack of bandwidth. Most latest Mobile Phones supports SIP and Wifi, mostly all N and E series Nokia phones do support SIP and VOIP Calling.
TruPhone's TruUnlimited Landline package starts at $17, however it does not include all the countries and calls are restricted to Landlines only. Don't worry, They also have a TruUnlimited Mobile package which offers unlimited calls to landlines + Mobiles in all the countries including India and most other asian countries.
You have two options to choose from:
TruUnlimited Landlines ($17)
Unlimited calls to landlines* in 38 countries worldwide. Call any time of the day, any day of the week. No long-term contract. Also includes unlimited calls to mobiles in 9 countries including the USA and China as a bonus!
TruUnlimited Mobiles ($40)
Along with unlimited calls to landlines* this plan includes unlimited calls to mobiles* in 69 countries, including the USA, the UK, Germany and China. Call any time of the day, any day of the week. No long-term contract.
How can i use TruPhone in my country?
Well there are mainly 4 ways to use TruPhone:
1) Truphone over Wifi- If you are in USA, Singapore, UK or most part of europe, you would find ample number of Wifi hotspots to connect to. This should be your preferred choice. Wifi is often Free, if not then cheap.
2) Truphone over 3G- 3G would be almost equivalent in call quality as Wifi. However, 3g data usage can make you poor overnight. 3G data cost in many countries are way high, so unless you have a unlimited 3G data package don't go for this option.
3) Truphone over GPRS: GPRS is poor man's wifi, especially in India where Wifi and 3G is not existent. Truphone works over GPRS, but no guarantee than you would hear the other party clearly and vice versa :-)
4) Truphone Anywhere: You have no option to call, no wifi, no 3G, no GPRS, nada nothing. What will you do? you can use Truphone anywhere. it Works seamlessly in the background, If you dial an international number, the call is redirected at the handset to a Truphone access number in your country, which connects to truphone server which in turn automatically completes your call to the international destination.
What you pay for
* Domestic rate GSM call to Truphone server in your home country.
(Please note that data connections will be needed for iPhone and BlackBerry)
* Low cost Truphone call to your international destination.
Does truphone cap number of minutes or per month call usage?
Yes, like everyone else. Truphone has Fair usage policy. You can make maximum 3,000 minutes call per month and all calls are subject to 60 minute call duration. If you consider, paying $40 for 3000 minutes, it works out to 1.3 cents per minute which is a good rate for calling India, Pakistan or Bangladesh.
If you signup for this package, do let us know your feedback so it helps everyone to make a decision. We are really excited to see mainstream VOIP Companies offering rock bottom prices for asian countries and making VOIP cheaper than traditional phones lines.

Call Free to India using IPvaani Service
Now calling from abroad to India is absolutely free using "IPvaani" VoIP phone service. With IPvaani, you can make phone calls to anywhere in the world and talk as long as you want for free.
Computer not required for making free calls. Just you need Internet broadband connection, normal phone and IPvaani adapter at both ends. No monthly or hidden charges.
People in abroad use "Calling cards" to make phone calls to India. But parents in India may not know how to use "Calling Cards" or other free services using computer. But WITH IPvaani phone service, parents in India can call to abroad and they can stay connected like a land line phone. IPvaani voice clarity is very good compared with calling cards.
Even you can make free phone calls using computer and any VoIP software like Yahoo voice chat, Google talk, and Skype.
But for parents in India it may be difficult to use PC, mike, software, and headset. But to use IPvaani service computer not at all required.
making phone calls using IPvaani is as simple as making call using land line phone.
There are many options available in market, but they have different plans like monthly charges or per minute cost. Best part of IPvaani is no monthly charges or hidden charges for service.
In addition, there is another big misconception in India about VoIP-many people believe it is illegal. However, that's not the case.

Avaya Procurve Deal
Avaya is joining the HP ProCurve Open Network Ecosystem (ProCurve ONE) to expand joint efforts in technology integration and innovation. ProCurve ONE is a multi-vendor alliance program that offers enterprises a choice of pre-tested interoperable solutions that run on the HP ProCurve Switch 5400zl and 8200zl series, which offers leading applications on a common platform.
"Through our strategic alliance with HP and the HP ProCurve Open Network Ecosystem, enterprises, branch and mid-size customers can reap the benefits of easy-to-deploy, fully-integrated IP networking and Unified Communications solutions," said Dr. Alan Baratz, senior vice president and president, Global Communications Solutions, Avaya. "Our current record of success with existing customers is just the beginning of what will become many advances in both technology and go-to-market business models as we move forward."
Through the HP ProCurve ONE program, Avaya Communication Manager IP telephony software has been tested and certified for interoperability with the HP ProCurve line of products. Today at live events around the globe, Avaya and HP ProCurve are demonstrating Avaya Communication Manager software and UC applications running on the new HP ProCurve ONE Services zl Module, which was also announced today.
"To help customers address the increased pace of change within their businesses, HP ProCurve is combining its own technology with some of the most innovative, respected and visionary companies in the world," said Marius Haas, senior vice president and general manager, HP ProCurve. "Global businesses are just beginning to reap the benefits from an HP ProCurve collaboration with Avaya that provides them with integrated design, implementation and support services."
HP ProCurve previously announced compliance with the Avaya DevConnect developer program for the HP ProCurve 5400zl, 3500yl and 2600 Series switches. This successful compliance testing demonstrates the ability of HP ProCurve technology to provide a flexible and standards-based solution to optimize customer deployment of Unified Communications and IP Telephony solutions. These solutions are designed to meet the top customer needs of accelerating growth, lowering costs and mitigating risks.
Avaya Unified Communications and HP ProCurve solutions are already providing customers with a number of benefits. For example, the sixth largest K-12 school district in the U.S. is building their convergence platform for the future based on Avaya and HP ProCurve solutions. Broward County Public Schools in Florida is in the process of converting the first 55 of their 250 schools to new Avaya Communication Manager IP telephony software and HP ProCurve switches.
"From the start, we saw clear evidence of the commitment between HP and Avaya to do things right," said Doug Pearce, district network coordinator, Broward County Public Schools. "We’re confident that HP and Avaya will take us in the direction we want to go with a highly reliable solution, cost-effective pricing and the functionality we need. There's definite recognition of the strength of these two companies and their close cooperation. It's on our roadmap to stick with HP and Avaya."
In addition, Avaya and HP have several mutual, authorized channel partners already knowledgeable about the benefits and requirements of a joint solution from Avaya and HP ProCurve. One such channel partner is Altura Communication Solutions, a Platinum-certified Avaya BusinessPartner and authorized HP ProCurve channel reseller with experience in joint sales and implementations.
"The solutions from Avaya and HP ProCurve provide our customers a true value differentiation. The HP ProCurve solution is more affordable and has their industry-leading warranty. We have a customer that has implemented over 1500 Avaya IP phones over an HP data network that is working flawlessly," said Mark Izumi, director of sales and marketing for Altura Communication Solutions.

2009 free voip Provider Qttel
VOIP Providers join the "free VOIP" revolution and offers unlimited free international calls around the world.
Today we take a look at Qttel.a simple Phone to Phone based VOIP Service which promises to give unlimited free voip to over 50 countries. Thanks to comment on our VOIP Provider of the Year 2008, thats where we discovered about this service, which seem to have changed the name recently. I remember using this service but a non-free version of it.
You must enter your number in international format.
QtTel is however a browser based VOIP service. It askes you to enter your phone number and your party's number and then Call. Qttel will first call you and then call the destination number. The biggest limitation of this service is it only works for 5 countries, Australia (FIX only),Canada (FIX & GSM!),UK (FIX only),Holland (FIX only),USA (FIX & GSM!). That means only people from this country can make calls. Of course if you have a incoming phone numberfrom any of these country you should be able to receive calls from Qttel and of course make free voip calls.
Please note all calls are limited to 5 minutes but it seems you may dial the same number and over and over. Please let us know your feedback on Qttel.
