Free calling to other phones : VoIPstunt.

www.voipstunt.com – works perfect. Now free : at least for landlines. And perfect Quality !

But then again. Not really fair (at least the advertising…). After few calls it asks you to top up some credit… Certainly does not work while trying to call cellphones in Belgium while being in Malaysia. But okay. IIt does work to call my Malaysian cellphone and calling fixed  pstn phonelines in Belgium is possible. «Totally free» only for a while. I guess I will have to put a little bit money on the account and then I can keep my free calling to landlines. There is a time – limit for free calling too. So then again «totally for free» is right, but only when you pay a little fee, and totally free does not mean  «endlessly free». Soon thanks to VoIP the definition of totally free will have to be changed . These countries are supported :

Verdict : I do recommend this one. I hope skype does stuff like this too.
Question : how can the other’s stay in business and what is their competitive edge ?
 Idea : an API that links the outgoing callfeatures of Skype to these type of cheap VoIP to PSTN/Landlines. It would be handy if I could call other IM VoIP accounts on Google Talk, Yahoo, MSN, VoIPbuster, Skype and so on. Currently the only common denominator of the users of IM VoIP is their email-address, fixed phonenumber, cellphonenumber. How would that be solved.

Just be aware that Finarea (the company that brought us VoIPBuster, VoIPStunt, SIPDiscount, VoIPCheap, Netappel, etc) have a habit of 'moving the goalposts' once people have parted with their 'registration fees'. The list of 'free' countries is sure to shrink soon.

Don't get to excited. It won't be free forever. Here is their strategy well-explained:

nice , but I desire to use it with a CRM, like sugarcrm, it is possible?

FWD communicator does what you are talking about. You can login to your MSN, Yahoo, googletalk a and skype accounts on it and call them all from one UI. I havent tried conferencing people but I am sure it can be done.

Cheers,
