How to making calls to land line numbers (usually Telekom in Malaysia) for FREE?
If you experience Skype before, you will know how this things works. Same as Skype these things works as a client in your computer and all you need is sign up for their account, and there, you able to dial as what you did in your normal phone. (don't forget to include the international code la..)
Is this thing for real? Really is free?
Well, at a glance and the rates given in these websites stated that it is free. Here I explain to you guys does it really free. Hmm.... At first few call it really is free. I didn't purchase any credits and I make calls freely with my friend. After few calls, I receive a popup message indicating that I reached the Free Trial Limit message. To make unlimited free calls, I have to upgrade my account by buying credits for my account. The minimum amount that I can bought is €10. This credit can last for 120days only. Like our prepaid in mobile phones, as long as you topup your credit before your credit expires, it can extend the expiry days and also remain the remaining credit in your account. As long as you have balance of more than €5 in your account, you enjoy unlimited free calls to your friend which is land line number.
If keep on topping up the credit, whats the point keeping those credit since calling to local line is FREE?
Well, you can use it to call to Cellular Network numbers. All operators (Celcom, DiGi, Maxis) can be supported. Hence, is this thing really free? You judge it yourself.
Personally I have tried on the VoipBuster to call few of my friends. It works, and did get through, but I experienced latency around half seconds. I think is because I have some download in progress, so it some how will affects the quality.
There are actually few websites that providing exactly the same thing from the same company. I wonder why they did it in such a way. Besides this, there is a catch on the information given by them. On the page which telling you that your account has expired, it tells us that "Your deposit will remain intact as long as you call the free destination" (Refer to the screenshot above). BUT in the FAQ, they have different things to say. Link to FAQ : http://www.voipbuster.com/en/faq.html#21
