Like a typical Filipino abroad, one of the first in my list when I moved away was to look for options on how to keep in close contact with my family and friends”¦ minus the burned holes in my pockets. To call direct from Germany using T-Online would have been affordable. That is, if I only called once a week, a few minutes at a time. And with T-Online’s rates, we would have only lasted until “O Kamusta ka na?”
Yahoo chat was an option that I used for some time. However, more often than not, we always ended up using the chat board due to our frustrations with all the crackling sounds and disconnections.
Thank God VoiP entered the picture.
VoIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol has made it possible to make a free (or low-cost, depending on the options you choose) phone call using the internet. Indeed, a manna from technology heaven.
As defined by Wikipedia, “œVoIP (also called IP Telephony, and Internet telephony) is the routing of voice conversations over the Internet or any other IP network. The voice data flows over a general-purpose packet-switched network, instead of the traditional dedicated, circuit-switched voice transmission lines.”
There are several companies offering softphones or VoIP technology, targetting millions of Filipinos abroad and their families back home.
Join me as I (along with the other authors here) review the different VoIP providers available to Pinoys all over the world.
Heck, last I heard, even PLDT wants to join the fray.

Skype is cool. You get excellent voice quality even when using dialup (with a bit of latency, though). I guess I’ll be posting on this topic soon.
yeah skype is cool, konti na lang makakagawa na din ako ng sariling VoIP software..
darksparrow: wow!
J Angelo: great!

The only VOIP service i’ve tried so far is Skype. I did yahoo chat loooong time ago but decided it isn’t worth the trouble.
heck, my sister in australia also decided that skype isn’t worth the trouble. She’s isn’t techie and isn’t patient enough to setup her skype to talk with me. Or maybe it’s because she doesn’t want to talk with me! hehehe.
AnP, looking forward to your reviews of VOIP services.

VoIP… the new MLM.
Nobody beats VoIP Global’s phone service! Voice quality is excellent. Extremely low rates compared to other VoIP providers. I’m now based in London with my family and we are highly satisfied of their services. I highly recommend this to my fellow OFWs and other Filipinos who have relatives abroad. I made some inquiries with US VoIP providers (eg. Vonage) but majority of them requires US addresses and US credit cards.Uhhh, that’s a hassle! Why tap them if we have one great voip provider back in the Phils.
What did I just say?
Here’s a good news to my compatriots. My company will be in the Philippines’ VOIP market before the end of the year. We will maintain a gateway that will enable our loved ones to call us from their mobile or land phones for a cheaper local rate. U-walks GSM VOIP Phones for families without computer and USB Phones for those who have. USB has call forwarding capability, meaning you can answer calls for your VOIP number using your cell phone or office phones. This USB phone can also be MP3 player, cool, with 256MB to 1 GB memory capacity. It also replaces memory stick. For more info, e-mail me or visit; http://www.uwalks.com
Hi guys,

Interesting comments posted here. I’ve been using VoIP for some time now, since NetMeeting on dialup. I’ve given up on the service until broadband became available in Manila, as the voice quality (e.g., data packet loss, jitter, and latency) is just horrendous. Skype has done a great job in trying to gain critical mass as far as subscriber base, and there is currently a burgeoning industry out there that supports their proprietary protocol. However, I believe the future lies in the SIP protocol. VoIP is just a beachhead; there will be other services that will use the SIP protocol (i.e., video conferencing). I would say 5 years from now we will be talking about SoIP (service over internet protocol). Below’s a list on how to call Manila (or receive calls) for FREE. Caveat: for best results both parties need broadband minimum 128kbps up/down.
FreeWorldDialup (FWD) http://www.freeworlddialup.com – the granddaddy of free VoIP. They’ve been around since 95, and use SIP. All you need to do is download a free softphone from Xten http://www.xten.net/ and you’re in business. Calls are relatively good, but sometimes due to the congestion in their outbound proxy, your MOS rating (call quality) may dip somewhat. From my experience, this only happened once. And here’s the kicker, you can dial most 1800, 1877, 1888, and 1886 US toll free numbers, as well as Netherlands, Japan, Germany, and UK for free. And you also get free voice mail with your free account. For best results, buy an unlocked ATA from a third party vendor and hook-up your regular telephone to it.
SipPhone http://sipphone.com – started by Michael Robertson (founder of MP3), company is based in San Diego. Similar to FWD in service offering. They also have the gizmo project, which tries to be an ersatz skype to attract more users. Until recently they also offer free 5 minutes phone call within the US. As with FWD, you get free toll free numbers, voice mail, etc. You can buy an unlocked ATA from them http://sipphone.com/adapters/ or buy one from a third-party vendor. UP is on their system and they run an Asterisk server. There’s a pinoy blogger who appears to be an expert in Asterisk and Linux line command. I’m not sure if he is the one (or part of a team) maintaining their system at UP http://www.premrara.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
Take this a step further and you can do transit in and transit out calls, bypassing PLDT by installing your own mini-gateway, like the FX200 http://www.sipcpe.com/products.html. The best thing about FWD and SipPhone is the peering service that they offer. Take a look at the peering numbers here: http://www.freeworlddialup.com/learnmore/features?feature=peering and http://sipphone.com/numbers/ . It allows you to call among various VoIP providers who have opened their network to the peering community.
I don’t think VoIP services like Bayantel and PLDT would allow that, because it will cut into their termination rates; they might do peering with each other within the Philippines. Companies like these have too much vested interest in preserving the old revenue-generating model that they will do whatever it takes to lock in customers to proprietary network. Just take a look at Saudi Telecom. They went as far as to sniff out VoIP packets http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/2005/10/blocking-skype.html .
You essentially have a monopoly that won’t allow packets from Skype or any VoIP providers. I would hope that PLDT does not resort to this, but I would not be surprised if they begin to do so. Monopolies like PLDT were given the franchise in order to better the lives of Filipinos. Instead, what do they do, they stifle innovation and they give lousy service, to name a few. Just last October, I was at the LA Internet Telephony Expo, and I bumped into the founder of a non-profit company called Inveneo http://www.inveneo.org/. They have a very novel VoIP solution to extend the last mile of service not served by the phone companies. They basically install fixed wireless in several locations that carry VoIP signals to the main gateway to connect out to the rest of the country. They use either bicycle or solar cells to power the servers (see pics). How’s that for a great idea?

I planning on signing up on http://www.vodini.com, I’m in US and from their service, I can get a Manila number, so my family can call me anytime for free
What hardware I need to make a VOIP?
distance-independent communication is now a reality with VOIP. The global village is here!
My Filipina fiancee is in Davao right now. I have Vonage for VOIP, however, I really want to find a VOIP provider that will give her and me flat rate access to each other where she will not need DSL. I would love to have a Davao number but still need my US number as well. Any recommendations? Please email me. Thanks.
for that guy under me: buy yourself and your gf as well window based mobile handset, then download mobile skype, that will do the trick.. its using VOIP tech so unlimited long distance call, you just have to pay for the access (which in this case is gprs or wifi)
i accept checks..
On a recent trip to the Philippines this October, I brought a Vonage ATA and hooked it up at a relative’s DSL connection in Tagaytay. Everything worked wonderfully, VOIP is a great way to save money on calls to/from the Philippines. I just left the adapter there and call my relatives locally. I think any of the large VOIP providers will work as well. I did some research and placed an order thru my buddy’s site at http://www.voipwired.com/pinoy
I currently have a VODINI service here in US. I have a Virtual Manila number and anybody in manila can call me for free. I just have to pay $40 a month.
I heared about SKYInternetVOIP and got amazed that it can work like VONAGE. Is there a way that I we can subscribe to SKYInternetVOIP without having a DSL/CABLE account in PI? It would be great for us Pinoys here in US if we can also call to the Philippines for just a flat rate. Please keep me updated if this topic gets escalated. Thank you.
More power to PINOYS!!!!!
PS. Vodini is Good. If you want to get hooked up, contact me.. Thanks…
To the individual who brought a Vonage ATA and hooked it up at a relative’s DSL connection, did you sign them up with Vonage? Did you have MAC address issues?
I looked up Vodini. Apparently they are tied up with the Capwire/PT&T group, which isn’t the greatest telco around here (hehe). Any PSTN interconnection issues with the PH local number service?
mparaz,
I have none so far. Everybody in manila can call me for free. This includes PLDT, Bayantel, Digitel and others…..
There’s no place like home….
Tired of paying international call?
pls visit us at http://www.pilipinascall.com for more details.
re: vodini… for 40 USD, it must work fine for its price 🙂 Local numbers in Australia sell at around 2 to 3 USD per month. I think its the same in US.
if your relative has broadband internet at home already, give him an ip phone. and you can call him any time. if your relative has a landline too, get those ip phones with an fxo… you can make calls to manila too and with some more configuration, receive calls 🙂
i prefer to call home rather than receive calls. i dont really want to be bothered with every bit of problem back home. i just call when i can accomodate them. 😉
pa post lang po:

We should start a directory of VoIP services here…
The Philippine TELCO, specially the big players is trying to kill the VOIP in the Philippines,this monkeys are enjoying their dirty game. We are willing to drop their service here in Metro Manila, just to show them, we could play their own game.This will be the good start for our petition.

I’ve been searching for somewhere to get a local RP number to use in my Asterisk located in Sweden.
When I needed a Swedish phone number for the same purpose, I only took me 10 min to purchase the number on-line and have it set up and working in my Asterisk.
There must be a way to get the same level of basic service in the Philippines …or am I just daydreaming?
Does anyone know?
Anyone using pinoyphone.net? Which Telco are they using for the PSTN Access?

how about a one time payment for a preconfigured voip devise with 2 internet telephone number +plus 2 USA landline number and another 2 UK land line number with callerID, call waiting, voicemailbox conference call, and 3 way calling on a single devise or a combination of programing the 2 line to your choice of voip provider or another FREE no monthly no call limit and no boundary call from another free voip system like peer calling much like smart calls to globe system or by using a freevoip gateway so friends and love ones can call from the ordinary phone directed to your voip devise or how about configuration to have virtual telephone numbers from anypart of the globe directed to your voip devise or better yet HOW about free calling VOIP from your cellphone …..Ill anounce 1 week ahead when my product will be featured in the TV
Yeah, I found a u.s. company that sells virtual Philippines number for $25 USD per month. My family in the U.S. can call me anytime. You can route the number to a voip phone for free, or route it to a landline/mobile phone for an extra $20 USD per month.
They also provide unlimited calls to the usa (phone to phone) for $20 USD per month.
j a c o b d u f f e e @ t e m p o r a r y f o r w a r d i n g . c o m
why would pay 25$ for a philippine number a month when you can have a US number for free in the philippines hindi ba parehong number lang yon ?
Filipino staying abroad can try out skype with rates Philippines€ 0.161,Philippines – Mobile € 0.202 ,Philippines-Cebu € 0.161 ,Philippines-Manila € 0.161 ….I m feel skype cheaper as I do make calls to my brother in australia at € 0.017….u can check out the website…www.skype.com
Hi jun_i, i am interested. Will my family in the Philippines get a US number? Can they call any number in the US (landkune and cellphone). Will i be able to call them as well?
can you call me at (201)931-5337 to discuss?
thanks
Hi Rox_anne pasensya na ngayon lang ulit ako nakabisita sa site doon sa inquery mo …Yes your family here in the philippines will have a USA number for free I can even provide you with multiple USA number the only catch is HINDI pwede mamili ng state kung libre option(Washington ,Iowa, NewYork )you can call them any time pero sila hindi nakakatawag sayo….Now beside the free dedicated landline number you will also have an internet number or what we call a global number ,..Now this number is more important because with this number you could be anywhere in the USA or anywhere in the planet pag doon sa lugar mo may gateway access number makakatawag ka from any phone(landline or cellphone) to your familys internet number….its like calling a PABX system with a local extension iyon nga lang global ang application kahit nasaan yung internet number na tinatawagan mo kaya mong matawagan ito and the best part is calling using the gateway access is free fro the caller and the callee iyon ang mga secret na itinatago sa atin ng malalaking telco and its all legal…..now if you say “ay ako lang ang pwedeng tumawag sila hindi” dont worry beside all the freebies the main function of the devise (voip gadget) is to provide you with with multiple account registry so if you feel na dapat may capability yung family mo na makatawag sa USA or any country for that matter we can program another voip service provider on your second line built within the devise ….its like line 1 >>your free system and on line 2 your pay call service the good part is with the devise your not tied to a minimum contral with a voip service provider for 1.1/2 year because you ll be registered as a Bring your own devise plan and you can terminate your voip account anytime and transfer it anywhere else (some voip company give you a 1 month free call anywhere, if not happy with their system you can cancel no question ask) for inquery you can call my california number 1-213-8050570 or my seattle number at 1-206-2036549
Hi,Anne wanna try 24.99 from OPENTONE, you can use any land or cell from U.S./Canada to Phil. And it’s a two way unlimited calling.
well try it!!!
As long as all parties have computers and broadband internet, Skype is the way to go. I do weekly videoconferencing with my family in Manila from SF with better sound quality than with land line phones (and I get video too). My friends and I also do conference calling without any problems ( 4 parties).
My friend here in SF brough back a vonage box for his non-tech savvy mom in Manila. So now his mom has a US based phone no. (which he pays for here).
So yes, there are options. non of them totally free but most of them cheaper than the regular per minute charges of the telcos.
YMMV
My mom lives in Davao City and she would love to call everyday. We would love to keep in touch more. I sent her a vonage system that she will hook up on dsl. That means if she calls me there’s no long distance right? On the other hand, if I call I get charged for long distance. is this right? Should I get a VoIP from Global to save money. Really confused. The number for Vonage is a local number for me. Need clarification
Marie,try the two way unlimited calling from OPENTONE COMMUNICATIONS, http://www.opentonecom.com,why vonage? from OTC, same price and somebody will assist you and could answer all your questions.OTC the best Voip Philippine provider.For only $24.99.

Marie,
You shouldn’t be charged for long distance when you call your mom as long as her U.S. number is a local number for you. I also use vonage to call my family back home and it works perfectly fine. Hope this helps.
dami dito as if ahente sila ng vonage skype etc. bakit nyo pagagastusin ng monthly yung tao kahit pa yung kamaganak ang magbabayad sa USA eh LIBRE naman ang tawag(“WALANG BAYAD”) WALANG KWENTA MGA VOIP SERVICE na sinasabi nyo!
ang sinasabi ko yung devise ng vonage na mga model SPA????etc iyon lang pwede na!!! ang importante doon ay yung nakaprogram na account sa CPU nyon eh papaano ba maglagay ng account doon sa devise na iyon???
dis advantage ng mga service na sinasabi nyo!!
1) lock in period sa contract
2) free KUNO yung devise pero may initial activation nung account eh doon palang bawi na nila yung gastos sa devise
3) paano kung hindi nyo matapos yung contract ? eh di bayad uli kayo
4) lahat ng service request nyo may bayad
minsan yung mga plan nyo unlimited pero pag binasa mo yung fine print may limit din pala sa gamit
5) kung skype gamit nyo kailangan pareho kayo nasa computer kasi softphone ang gamit nila at puro naka supernode which drain your bandwith capacity kahit hindi mo ginagamit yung voip mo
6) pagkatapos ng contract paano na wala ka ng phone kasi nga paid service, hindi mo na rin magagamit yung devise mo as if tapon na kasi naka burn yung account mo doon sa chip nung devise kung gusto mo na iregister sa ibang provider hindi na pwede kasi hindi narereset yung devise to factory default ,sayang lang investment mo
marami pang iba siguro dito palang magdadalawang isip ka na na sa vonage skype etc na voip
So,Jun,anong advice mo? what’s youre point?gusto naming makaroon ng monthly fixed rate and having a convenient way of calling,even we’re on the road.There’s always in return no matter what and that’s what we are paying for.I don’t use skype,because it’s not convenient,I used to have vonage,but they don’t have the responsility,if you bring the box outside the U.S./Can and I’m paying more than $24.99.Tungkol sa mga ahente, at least somebody provided them a descent job.
OXO my advise ??? bili ka ng VOIP devise have it comfigured by somebody else kung hindi ka nakakaalam sa voip comfiguration// tell the person who will comfigure your devise to use a free voip account DAMI DYAN as of counting sa isang site mga more than 20 na ata USA pa lang (dont be comfuse yung iba may option ka na free yung iba may bayad select yung free!!) tapos get a free land line number (ipinamimigay lang iyon sa USA)have it forward to your voip internet account para yung mga kamaganak nyo ,ordinary phone lang gamit para tumawag sa inyo (incomming)ngayon kung gusto nyo incomming outgoing anytime kayong dalawa (meaning yung nasa abroad) dalawang unit ng voip devise gamitin nyo// you can even buy a voip with FXO port para lahat ng tao sa america or where ever ay makatawag sayo at lahat ng nasa pinas makatawag din doon sa bansa na kinabitan mo ng devise mo….
ABOUT DOON SA COMMENT MO ABOUT “ahente” hwag na tayong pa cute lets call a spade a spade kung ahente ka iahente mo yung produkto mo ang problema marami akong nakikita na tread sa iba ibang forum na testimonial kesyo magaling yung ganitong service or product eh ang totoo spamming yung ginagawang testimonial nung tao para i promote yung produkto nila ayaw pang aminin …..O yung tatamaan kung meron man ….,pumiyok may itlog
🙂
question po..please help…pano nag wo-work ang vonage dito sa phil? how much ang rate? do i need a dsl? or internet connection ? pls. help me…tnx
Jun,thanks,I could do it the way told me,but is that thing work para sa kapatid ko sa Saudi?
. . . Pero hindi ako ahente and we’re aware of spamming, alam na namin ‘yun.It’s part of promoting their company.Though walang nakakatulong at wala pa akong nakikitang product na would answer my needs.
OXO YES it will work in Saudi kailanggan lang ay marunong mag comfigure yung kapatid mo in Saudi ng ROUTER any router that can DHCP (domain Host Comfiguration Protocol)yung router gagana yung VOIP kahit dynamic, static, PPPoE or what ever klase ng IP na pinamimigay nila sa broadband nila gagana ang VOIP
if your VOIP devise has a built in router mas mainam// provided na yung kapatid mo na mag cocomfigure nung router setting from the devise ay hindi gagalawin yung setting ng voip account mo in the devise// sigurado walang magiging problema
I would like to inquire for options for voip hk and manila.

Has anyone tried this? Nine cents a minute, cheap…but am skeptical about the quality.
http://freecallplanet.com/philippines.html?gclid=CK7ro-rplI0CFSCTWAod81M57A
I have been using yahoo, but they raised the rates recently. Used to be five bucks for a thirty minute call to a mobile phone. Now, it’s twenty cents a minute.
The voip solution may come later. I am just in the getting to know you stage right now. 😀
Pedro,9 cents a minute?check it well,make surs it’s not a promo and always check the cell phone rate!
OXO, found this other alternative. Also cheap, about nine cents (euro) a minute which converts to about twelve cents (USD) a minute. Great quality, I can hear excellent and the people I have called have said that I come in crystal clear. I have called Ireland, Canada and Hongkong for free. I also have called Manila landline and cellphone with the rates quoted above. BTW, I live in Midwest US. One of the best features that yahoo doesn’t have is that I can transfer the call to my cellphone and the quality of the call doesn’t decline. I don’t think you can do this with skype? The charge to transfer is five cents (euro) per call.
I have also found a hack to this site, where my friends in Manila can call me for free. They registered using a US proxy IP and that seemed to work although only during a trial period. I figure this would also work if I gave them my username and password. Then the calls to my landline or cellphone would be free and the only thing they would need is a broadband connection and a computer.
http://www.voipcheap.com/en/index.html
The site asks you to buy ten euros worth of credit and with it comes free calls around the US and Canada plus these other countries…

So far so good…I called my lady friend in Bacolod and we spoke for forty minutes today. All was clear. She had no complaints. Cost to me was three dollars and sixty cents US. Good deal so far. 😀
Pedro I’m from Midwest too. So your paying 12 cents/min.Hmmmm…sounds good,but I’m not concern about having a low rate, kno why?because you will still pay the same amount your paying every month.Well I’m looking for unlimited service,monthly fixed.So I don’t need to monitor my budget,Know what I mean?
Let’s do this together,help me out to search more.
OXO,
The other deals that I have seen offer unlimited minutes, but only to one line. Basically, whoever you’re calling gets a cellphone or a sim card, then your calls to that one cellphone is unlimited.
http://callpinoy.com/home/
On this particular one, plans start at forty nine bucks. I call too many people for something like this to workout for me. And the one person I call the most is just someone I’m getting to know.
The closest thing to unlimited to any phone in the Philippines is this offer
http://freecallplanet.com/philippines.html
Here, you get a thousand minutes for approx ninety bucks a month. That’s over sixteen hours of talk time. Comes to about nine cents a minute. And from the website, calls to cellphones are included.
I’m using voipcheap.com right now, and am trying to calculate my monthly cost to see if I should get freecallplanet instead. They do have another plan for five hundred minutes that I’ve mentioned in my previous post. Right now, it’s close. I pay about fifteen bucks a week for a little over two hours of talk time. My monthly cost is about sixty bucks. The other plan from freecallplanet is only fifty bucks and I would get more or less the same minutes, but there is a contract associated with the plan and I hate contracts.
BTW, there are no connection fees with voipcheap, their timer is true to the time you talk on the phone and the minutes don’t expire. No weekly maintenance fee either as far as I can tell. I have used several phonecards on the net, and from my experience, when they say thirty minutes of talk time, they normally mean fifteen. I can’t for the life of me understand how they can get away with such robbery.
One thousand minutes for ninety bucks seems to be the closest thing to unlimited, unless you can live with calling just one number, then there are several unlimited plans on the net.
Let me know if you find a better deal 😀
Pedro and OXO pareho pala kayong nasa USA and you need ways to call philippines for FREE UNLIMITED using you land line phone or your mobile phone in the US…..Ill give you guys a teaser ….since familiar pala kayo sa freecall planet voicecheap etc na nag offering sa internet have you ever heard about a number in Iowa state where you can call the whole world for free and unlimited……….teka sasabihin nyo hindi ba yung freecallplanet yon? eh tapos na yung promo noon diba?………….DOON KAYO MALI!!! actually yung number na posted nila doon sa site noon nung promo palang ng freecallplanet ay hindi lang iisa, at yung ibang number mga 9 number yon // tatlo ay gumagana pa!!!! hindi nyo na makikita sa internet yung information nung mga number na iyon actually hindi lang mga freecall planet telco sa Iowa state ang nag offer noon napiltan lang tapusin nung ibang telco ang promo nila sa batikos ng ibang telco provider doon….I still have those number…. // another info I can share is how about 10 $ a month free and unlimited calls to 50 country (no mobile call) land line call only…sorry philippine not included or how about 5 euro for 1200 minute to more than 70 country per month including philippines…. or how about joining a napster type voip group that lets you use thier asterix server so you can call anyone anywhere in the planet basically for free the reason they do this is from the beattles song lyric “the love you give is the love you can recieve” tama ba quote ko?….the last time I visited the site ay covered na namin ang buong planet halos ! we even have access to katmandu in the himalaya…..all calls for free we can even make your cellphone make internet calls to anyone with voip connection around the world for free, iether with a similar mobile equip WLAN function , with a Voip hardware equipment or a voip softphone program on your computer…..
🙂
Five euros for twelve hundred bucks including the Philippines? Mobil? Can I use my cell phone? More info on this one please…my yahoo addy is baazoookaaa
thanks!!!!
Pedro,I’m still searchin.Do you find anything that we could use any phone here,cell or landline for unlimited? Kindly check,Efonica and OpenTone Comm.
CallPinoy is Ok na sana, pero Point to Point.
Sorry, I meant I am interested in twelve hundred minutes for five euros…I checked efonica and it’s eighteen cents a minute to a mobile phone in the Philippines. Open tone is another one where you can only call to one device and if not, then a call to a mobile phone is fifteen cents a minute, but it requires a subscription to their service.
Still, a thousand minutes for ninety bucks stands as the best deal, until jun tells us about the five euro deal. 😀
jun, I’ve been investigating the Iowa number to call the world for free, and from what I’ve found it’s not exactly free. The Iowa area code 712 is the new 900 numbers, so there is still a charge for it. The operators for this get their money taking advantage of an FCC kickback scheme authorized via the Universal Service Fund. The charge to us is inexpensive, ranging from one cent to ten cents a minute. Cheap, but the feedback I’ve read so far is the quality is horrible.
Five euros for 1200 minutes to the Philippines, share the love bro 😀
OXO, not exactly what we’re looking for, but this site offers unlimited calling from the Philippines to the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand for free 😀
http://www.siliconscript.com/palcalls/faq.aspx
Unfortunately, we can’t use it to call the Philippine, so it’s only half of the solution.
WHICH is BETTER
**(A)a pinoy in the Philippines having a USA land line number or
**(B)a pinoy in the USA having a philippine number in the USA
ANO ang pagkakaiba at pagkakatulad
**both senario offer one way voice trafic//A can only recieve call from his or her US number, he CAN NOT make call using his USA number..same with B
**A is free(if you have the knowhow) while B is not
**B can only be had on a package plan
**A is free but you need to have a broadband connection in the Philippines(computer have to be connected at all times to recive calls otherwise it would defeat the purpose of having a USA telephone number)
**irrespective of who makes the call once the call gets connected its a complete telephone call
**kung gusto nung mga nasa abroad na MADAINGAN ng mga problema ng mga kaanak nila sa pinas piliin nila yung B kung gusto naman ninyo ng power to only call but cannot be called piliin nyo yung A…….
;/
Jun,Good point! In my case,What I really want is two way unlimited calling using any phone here in U.S. any suggestions? I don’t mind paying subscription,bcoz I travel a lot
Please visit our site for your Voip FAQS. We will be launching the cheapest yet competitive Voip devices hopefully by next month.

Hi,
I’am a dealer of VOIP phone here in the philippines. We have usb, broadband phone and ata(analog telephone adapter). Monthly maintenance of the phone is only US$4.95. If you and your family have the same unit, you could avail of the unlimited calls. Or if your family have the phone here in the Philippines, they can call you at a very low rate. US rate is $0.019 only.
If your interested, please let me know.
Lala
lhpomer@gmail.com
Jen and Lala, the lowest cost call to the Philippines from the US right now is $0.012 per minute that includes mobile and landline calls from what we’ve found. I have been using it for about two weeks. The sound quality both ways is EXCELLENT, one of the best if not the best I have used to date. There is one cheaper for $0.09 per minute to any phone in the Philippines but it involves buying a minimum of five hundred minutes.
But ideally what we’re looking for is an unlimited plan to call ANY phone in the Philippines. No per minute charge, no one cell phone only, no voip equipment. Can you help?
Pedro is that a typo $0.012 I think you meant $0.12.. I’m also in the same boat as you and OXO. I’m here in the west coast. With the wifey travelling a lot around the Phils(sometimes not even a cell signal)it’s gotten a little expensive to call her. When she’s home I use our vonage but when she’s travelling I use startec – $0.129 call is clear but I wish there’s something cheaper or unlimited. How about a Phil number here in the U.S.(I know vodini offers one but lately they’re having problems with pldt)?
jun_j
correction lang bro hindi ako “as if ahente” ng vonage..ordinaryong empleyado lang po dito sa u.s. na naghahanap ng murang paraan para makatawag sa aking mga mahal sa buhay diyan sa pinas… sinagot ko lang yung tanong dahil ako ay gumagamit rin – ngayon kung meron kang alam na mas makakamura kami bakit ba hindi…and maraming salamat sa “teaser” mo…yung lang peace…
erich, my bad. It’s twelve cents a minute.
I wish it were approx two cents, I wouldn’t be here looking for a cheaper solution. 😀
I think the unlimited calling unfortunately is not out there yet. Unlimited to whatever phone I use to call any and all phones in the Philippines.
If you find something that can beat nine cents a minute to call a mobile phone in PI, please share it. Thanks!
erich, IMO, having a Philippine phone number here in the US is not cost effective. Reason why I say that is because right now with twelve cents a minute charge that roughly translates to about five pesos. From what I know, a local call in Manila cost eight pesos a minute. So having a local number has no advantage.
My suggestion to you is register for an unlimited calling service in the US. There are several sites that offer this. Give your wife the username and password. There are so many internet cafes all over the Philippines that when she travels, she can walk into one and call you as oppose to you calling her. Or to make it simpler, use yahoo. They only charge one cent per call in the US. Although, I’m not sure if the program automatically checks the caller’s IP location for a proper rate charge.
Good Luck 😀
OK OK Reading from all your comments from the past post I would like to offer a solution (sana makatulong sa lahat)most of us like lowest calling rate yung iba gusto connectivity kahit sa cellphone anywhere in the philippines….actually WALANG GANITONG SERBISYO pa sa ngayon PERO may magagawa kayo technically to call ALMOST unlimitedly or Almost free sa pinas ……….may available bang hotspot or malapit ba kayo sa isang hotspot or wireless 802.11 location yung mga tatawagan nyo ba sa pinas may ganong access din or yung tatawagan nyo more than one person in pinas ?????……….Alam nyo ba yung tinatawag na WIFI phone? kahit na yung mga china made lowest ata from china source ay 75$ isa……or better yet how about nokia cellphone with WLAN capability …..ibili nyo yung tatawagan nyo sa pinas ng ganitong phone or pa comfigure kayo sa marunong mag program to point to point connection itong mga devise na ito using internationl gatekeepers to redirect your call via internet para walang gastos walang boundaries kailanggan lang pareho kayong connected sa hots spot ……..dito papasok yung may WLAN capable na cellphones halimbawa nasa mall ako malapit sa isang internet cafe na may libreng wireless internet connection ang gagawin ko text ko muna yung nasa USA na may WLAN capable cellphone na pumunta sa isang hots spot tapos pag nanduon na sya tatawagan ko na sya using my cellphone to make internet calls( iba ito sa regular telephone calling kasi doon sa cellphone mo bukod sa “number @kung anong server ka” ang dial mo let say 123456@yahoo.com tapos pag pinindot mo na yung call function nung cellphone mo makakakita ka ng selection (phone call/ fax send / internet call) select mo internet call at imbes na dumaan iyon sa cell site yung tawag mo papasok sa internet connection nung internet cafe hahanapin naman nyon yung isa pang tinawagan na number na naka connect din via internet saan mang parte ng mundo, at dahil pareho kayong connected sa internet via hot spot na libre walang bayad yung tawag nyo walang international boundary at walang limit sa HABA NG USAPAN ………only draw back eh kung palagi or malapit or accessible sa inyo ang wireless internet connection pero at least walang babayaran sa call………dami pa iba pero dito muna lets hear muna comments ……………:)
Good point Jun, walang unlimited call anywhere in the Phil. And I think its not gonna happen,Hey we’re talkin about the monster Telco sa Pinas like PLDT.They will not allow this.As much as possible, if they could kill all the Voip provider,eh,gagawin nila.Its way different compare here in U.S.
Even their DSL,I was surprised,small things like internet cable they porposedly used a different color,not following the standard,para malito yung mga subscriber na gustong gumamit ng VoIP.Another thing,bandwidth and speed,that they love to messed around.So you really not paying for what you paid for . . . PLDT myDSL(my DICK SUCKING LIPS) 😉
I work for FreeCallPlanet.com and want to encourage you all to give us a try for your calls to the Philippines.
Just to clear up any misconceptions:
We have two plans:
500 minutes a month for $44.95
1000 minutes a month for $89.95
That works out to 8.9 cents a minute and includes mobile lines. If you go over those minutes, then we charge you at 14.9 cents a minute for additional minutes. Minutes don’t roll over from one month to the next.
There are no contracts. You can cancel at anytime without penalty, and if you cancel midmonth, we will keep your account open to the end of the month so you can use your minutes up.
We have found several reliable carriers to the Philippines, so our quality has gotten much better lately. While we are new to the Philippines, we do over 5 million minutes a month to India are not going anywhere.
Give us a try:
http://freecallplanet.com/philippines.html
Chris, although I have not tried it yet, it would seem that nine cents a minute is the best deal right now. Any thoughts in extending the minutes to make it more attractive? Say 1500 minutes for ninety dollars a month? Can you make calls online? Transfer it to your cellphone? Can you track your minutes online? I use voipcheap right now, and I think that’s a sister company of yours and they have a slick program to do everything I’ve asked above. For me anyway, making calls is simpler using their online software. Transfer the Philippines to the “Frequently Called Countries Zone” and I’ll sign up today!
BTW, five hundred minutes a month for forty five bucks recurring each month unless I cancel the service is a MONTHLY CONTRACT, no? 😀
Is Digitel blocking VOIP? I have a US vonage adapter and it just stopped working. It was working for weeks, but 1.5 weeks back, it stopped working. I thought it was just my bad digitel broadband but I can’t get it to work anymore. Any ideas… Thanks.
can you use a VOip phone using smart bro???
Hey Damc, It’s been a month since you posted your question about your vonage not working, how is it now? mine’s been working perfectly on digitel for 3 months now already, no prob so far

Hello. I am from the United States, and I currently live in CEBU…I have been here for over a year. Well a few years ago back in the states I switched to VOIP, and I took my VOIP phone to Cebu with me, it works perfect, I call all over the US for FREE. People call me every day for FREE and we talk for hours. I use Smart Bro, and Smart Bro is even fast enough to use the internet at the same time.
I am in the process of starting a business selling these phones, along with other products here in CEBU and later in the rest of the Philippines. I am interested in finding people to partner with I would really like to talk to some of you about the ideas that I have.
Please email me at dragon@capitalactive.com.

Uy dami ng nag nagaalok as well as magaalok ng voip dito puro pa may babayaran na service all nakabase sa ibang bansa ……mga parekoy better check nyo muna current regulation sa mga voip provider na registered sa NTC….hindi sa sinisiraan ko yung mga gustong mag negosyo ng product ng mga company na nasa ibang bansa pero dapat lang siguro kung magagawa nilang magnegosyo dito eh kahit papaano may binabayaran silang taxes na napupunta sa ating kaban ng bayan …sa tantya nyo ba kung yung voip service sa Pilipinas naka base at inenegosyo natin sa let say USA papayag sila na makakuha tayo doon ng subscriber na hindi tayo mag paparegister sa gobyerno nila or hindi tayo magbabayad ng taxes?…..kung mag iintroduce dapat ang isang gustong magnegosyo dito ng isang technology service na naka base sa ibang bansa dapat lahat legal in philippine laws …ngayon kung hindi naman at for porpose lang to introduce the technology as showcase for prior registration ng business dapat LIBRE……………..
ngayon kung gusto nyo parin ng VOIP technology at nag aalanganin kayo about how to make it into a business check muna natin ang pwede sa mga balakin natin sa NTC …..
personally I make a side line doing voip set up for many company pero hindi ako kumukuha ng monthly sa kanila one time payment lang for devise purchase even with goverment entities naglalagay ako sakanila kung gusto nila sa server ng DOST doon ko sila nilalagay pero as Ive said hindi ako service provider meaning hindi ako kumukuha ng subscriber at iyon lang ang sinabi sakin ng NTC na pwede kong gawin pero kahit na ganoon nakakapag provide ako ng DID or direct inward dialing na LIBRE or kung hindi available yung number na libre I provide virtual number procurment sa ibatibang bansa or even peer to peer calls from other voip server….sa mga hindi nakakaintindi about VOIP it only means yung nagagawa ng ibang voip provider na nasa ibang bansa na service na MAY BAYAD nagagawa ko ng LIBRE……
Hello to all!
since we’ve been talking about voip here..i’d like to inform you that there’s a voip reseller here in phils. has NTC license and offers only $4.95 or around 250pesos monthly fee…call rate as low as .019 or around 1peso per minute for calls to US, canada,,,etc. other countries have higher rates though but still the lowest..

There is a company that offers unlimited calls from Australia to Manila for a flat rate of $25AUD p/month. No internet connection needed on either end. All you pay is the local call connection cost to an Australian number.
What do you think? Not bad?
is there for new zealand to davao rate per month too??
For US callers to the Philippines UNLIMITED,
no connection fee, no pin code
Voip Videophone you can see the person you are talking to on the phone screen.
especially, for OFWs the concept of seeing their children and their family anytime they want.
It works just like Vonage you get charged $23.99 a month
and since you’re issued a US phone number, you can call anyone
in the US and Canada regardless of their phone provider they don’t
need a videophone to talk to you and the fee stays $23.99. You can take
the VIDEOPHONE with you and as long as there is a high speed internet plug it in
and make US and Canada calls.
You can have the service and save alot of money or become an Independent Rep.
and make alot of money. I think this is a life changing opportunity that no one should
pass up.
Any questions,email me : gerlynbates@yahoo.com
If you’re near SACRAMENTO CALIFORNIA, call me for demo.
jun_j,
i’m interested in what you’re offering (VOIP. i’ve read some of your posts and I think you’re the most reliable and knowledgeable person i can consult with. Please guide me as I will be needing VOIP for my small business. i’m not a techy person and i honestly don’t have in depth knowledge about VOIP. how do we go about it? can you give me a contact number of yours so we can discuss it? aica615@yahoo
Any suggestions as to what broadband provider and plan is adequate for making voip business quality calls from a PC in Philippines to a phone in Canada/US?
I have tried PLDT DSL Plan 999PHP (1 Mbps), voice quality was ok but latency was 400 to 1000+ ms delay. Also tried Smartbro which had lower latency (250 ms), but was very choppy sounding. Test calls were made using http://www.iCalls.com
i am looking for a voip solution.
something like a payphone that uses voip.
or a phone and billing solution to which we could use skype or similiar and charge a customer to make a call.
mindoro.philly@gmail.com
Where in the Philippines… Preferably in Cebu, can I find a VOIP receiver. Like a USB phone or something. I use SmartBRO and have no landline in my house, but would like to set-up a Skype account and maybe a US Phone number so I can also receive calls.
Thanks
Try a Magic Jack at MagicJack.com. It has to be shipped to a USA address but for only $39.95 it includes the first years service and you can pay an additional $19.95 for the second year if you want then you get two years service for the what a couple of months with some other VOIP systems would cost you, it is a great inexpensive VOIP system. I bought one and have a USA phone number and have been using it for weeks now and it works great and I intend on using it in other counties while I travel with my laptop.
if anyone is interested to call the US for only 1php/min kindly send me an email piso rates apply in 30 countries the most cheapest among voip’s…we’re realizing the voip promise…contact me and you’ll be amazed…be connected with your loveones,colleagues or friends from anywhere in the world.

hello everyone,
medyo marami nang pinoy d2 sa dubai,at medyo mahirap din ang kumita ng pera d2 so everybody is looking for a cheaper alternative to keep in touch sa family nila sa pinas.
ano bang way or sinong voip provider ang pakakabgay ng tulong sa amin like cheap calls from dubai to any phone or mobile phone sa pinas?
hi all,
can you recommend us your voip provider where we can make a cheap call from pc or a phone in dubai to any phone or mobile phone in the philippines?
Can someone let me know if you have any experience with this service? Apparently you can only use this service if you have a US mobile/landline number.
Thanks

@Topakita
one way to verify if OpenTone’s registered/licensed by FCC. Call their toll free hotline: 1-888-544-9429
jun_j;
how do you do it?
EVS
If you know how to comfigure a softphone or an ATA (analog telephone adaptor) voip adaptor or voip hardware you can forward a telephone number from a particular country to a specific devise let say Ill get a number from a specific country likesay USA UK etc. then Ill forward all call to that number to a VOIP devise much like inbound call centers …if someone call me from USA or UK from that number My devise (VOIP) will ring anywhere in the Philippine or from any country for that matter …You can say what the heck forwarding calls to a USA number when you can forward toll free number to your Philippine telephone number… my answer is we can change USA telephone number for free anythime and every time we can even forward a hundred number from different country to a single voip at will anytime everytime (some country like the philippine dont give free telephone numbers but some country do)so if someone or some company will give you a telephone number from a particular country (even for a trial period)..a number that can be forwarded to another number in another country you can have a virtual presence from that country for free…and even if that company will only allow you 10 day trial period to use that forwarding capability who will stop you from registering multiple account to use their system…..
Alas PLDT joining the VOIP band openly by offering pldt (t@#$%^&d) at call cost of 1peso per minute sana nuon pa anyway dahil doon sa kanilang (p@#$%^&+s) prepaid sim kahit sino na pwedeng mag lagay ng voip gateway saan mang probinsya na may coverage biruin mo kailangan mo lang ng sim card at (XXX) terminal OK na!…..eh ganoon din singil 1 peso/min.
1 sim card per probinsya na kailangan mo basta sasagap …..example nasa laguna ka kailanggan mo ng manila number lagay mo lang sa parte ng laguna yung (XXX) terminal mo na makakaregister yon doon sa cell site na pang manila pwede na link mo lahat ng call na pang manila from VOIp kahit sa probinsya ka tapos yung ibang port para sa laguna local ….O de bale youll be hitting 2 bird with one stone na kasing laki ng boulder!….**(@#$%)was put up to protect voip imformation**

Is this true FLORITA?
Per comment of INNA on Blog.tmcnet.com
http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/rich-tehrani/voip/philippines-voip.html
Momentum Plus? they don’t have customer/technical support.The company as I understood is pure maketing,they don’t have network infrastructure.Check their website, looks like a grocery store. Well,who cares about network, right? but if you like this kind of service and way of communications then just use your computer, internet is free, right? then why paying $4.95 a month? This company is well structured for network maketing. Their not even a voip provider.Don’t get me wrong.There’s nothing wrong in the said company, what I’m trying to say is,they provide the unit but not the service.Why not just use the internet, same thing no tecnical or customer support.
Just a thought
I just have a question since I read most of you use skype. I recently installed skype but unfortunately when i tried to create my account and sign in my modem auto restarts and unless I quit all skype applications, i cant connect back to to the internet. I hope y’all can help
Hi! VOIP is a new way technology now to save phone bills especially if you are calling other countries. My parents are working abroad and you just can’t imagine how much they spent for their calls from Italy to Philippines. Good thing my uncle based in Belgium is using Nomado Phone. This is a VOIP phone as well. What my parents did was they set up Nomado accounts for us here in the Philippines and they can call us anytime, and my mom said they are just paying a flat rate for that. I am not sure the flat rate though. But you could check their website,www.nomado.eu my bro got it, he’s going to ask his gf too to get Nomado phone in UK.
why get a nomado account when you can have any number like rome milan turin etc land line phone number forwarded to an ATA devise what more is “ITS FREE” your relative can call you the same way as NOMADO account but they dont have to pay for anything and so do you
i need to buy a SIP IP PHONE in Manila..Do anybody know where to purchase such unit?
also is it PLDT using ISTN (International Switch Digital Network) or PSTN (analog) – Public Switch Telephone Network.
would appreciate very much your info. tnx!
for me the best in vonage. We have it connected to a device called dialmate. this allows us to call the philippines from the states and vice versa. It’s 20 dollars a month for the service but because of the dialmate device we’re able to share the device with our relatives in the US and Canada and our relatives here. they simply call the US or philippine number and after inputting a pin code they get the dial tone of the other country. The quality is good and we’re very happy with our set up that we’ve purchased a second one.
We also have the magic jack. It’s great for mobility if you travel a lot but quality isn’t as good as the one of vonage plus there’s a delay. i’ve also read reviews about it burning out usb ports. it hasn’t happened to me though.
so i recommend vonage with the dialmate. then you can share it with several people to make the cost almost nonexistent. plus vonage allows free unlimited calls to uk italy france and other countries as well. singapore can be called for 1 US cent a minute which makes it very convenient for any long distance calling.
A company which is offering unlimited calling to the Philippines using SUN celular and bayantel is Telepinas (www.telepinas.com). Unlike other VOIP providers, an internet connection is NOT required and NO other VoIP equipment is required either.
telepinas maps a local SUN or bayantel number to a US/Canada number. they can also map a local US/Canada number to a SUN or metro manila land line.

is this possible? i really need ur help! thanks!
Has anyone tried sms4voip.com ?
I dont really understand what it is – they have very low prices, and it works from all mobiles they say – but how can anyone call by using sms ?
I used to call with pre-paid service and I will spend about $150 a month! I’m not kidding.. I just talk too much to my family and keeeping in touch with my sickly mom by phone. So the last 2 months I have been researching for a good unlimited calling plan to the Philippines. I have tried VOIP but as you know you need to have an internet connection and my sickly mom doesn’t have an access to internet, I prefer to call her thru landline. Soo.. I tried telepinas and for some reason I always have a problem with their connections.. especially if you’re calling a Sun CellPhone and you can only call to one phone line. Then just last week a friend of mine told me about Proxy numbers so I signed up as distributor coz it’s cheaper than signing up just a customer. I am very happy with the service and I can call anywhere in Asia unlimited!! I’m not advertising and I’m sharing this with you what a wonderful service this is… So if you talk as much as I do.. then this is the right plan for you. check it out thru my website as distributor, at least I get lil money if you decided to sign up. That will help me alot since my husband been unemployed 🙁 . But it is great service! just make sure if you sign up you’ll see my name and sponsor ID. http://www.goproxycomm.com/callpinas
Thank you and let me know what you think! Feel free to contact me.. you will see my contact info on the website and you know i’m not a scammer! Thanx Guys!
I found this company based in the philippines. As far as i know sila ang may pinakamurang per minute rates to destinations worldwide. They provided me a landline phone to go with the service. email them at info@webfuzion.net to know about their packages.
I take what I posted on June 13, 2009. I said some good things about proxycomm.com but unfortunately they increased the rate and they put a limit of how many minutes you can call Philippines and they took off the cellphones.. meaning you can’t call Philippine mobile phones.. strictly for landlines. So I canceled my subscription and you should not sign up for it. Im using prepaid now coz the connection is better than proxycomm.com. There’s a 5-10 seconds delay when you use proxycomm to call someone. if you don’t believe and you have extra $100 to waste then try it.
that’s cool.. can i all cellfon from manila using voip?
Try nyo rin po ito http://www.yupeephone.com?a_aid=ppeso cheaper than skype.
i already tried it and it very clear VOIP
Cheaper pa ang call rate to call mobile or landline
http://www.yupeephone.com?a_aid=ppeso cheaper than
theres a new system n pwede k n tumawag abroad just by using your wireless landline…no computer or internet needed, cheaper p ang rates

PLEASE TELL ME HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR PER MONTHLY SERVICE AND HOW IT WORK. I AM LIVING IN USA AND I HAVE FAMILY IN HAITI,PORT-AU-PRICE. I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THEM UNLIMITED INTERNATIONAL CALL THROUGH MY LANDLINE W/C CONNECTED WITH MY HIGH INTERNET MODEM.THANKS.
Try Magic Jack! Free call to anywhere in US and Canada for $20 a YEAR (not per year. notice I said YEAR).
But please check their site. That was their rate a year ago!
The cheapest of them all http://www.YeheyCall.com
$0.01 (1c) per minute.
Hey, i tried checking the linked website you posted because I haven’t heard of it yet but the page is missing. Has it closed?
i would suggest MagicJack XD been using it for 1 year. Im on the phone with my bf 24/7 and he’s living in U.S. (im in Philippines). You only have to pay 1 time (no monthly bill or anything) for only 2,000 pesos or $40-50, you can talk with your love ones for 1 whole year.
do i need to purchase two magic jack ? one in phil and one for me? or i can make unlimted calls to landline or mobile phones in philippines
magic jack can only make calls to US numbers and not to Philippines.
Yup we had tried that as well. But as I had mentioned with conversation w/ CLarissa they easily breaks down. My aunt had lasted for a year and a half with 3 magic jacks. SO we tried Etelepono. http://wwww.iptelebabad.net
As far as I know they offer unlimited calls to US, Canada, Singapore. And in the phil they can call to other mobile phones — but I am not sure of the mobile thing if its free.
It’s been 5 years already and guess what? VoIP in the Phils is still quite unheard of. Why? Because we can always send text message instead and calling long distance to another region is cheap so VoIP within Philippines will not get off.
And for those Filipinos with relatives and friends in other countries like US and Europe would want a VoIP service based on those countries so they can call them for a fraction of a cost and vice versa.
I’ve been using a US based prepaid VoIP service – Onesuite.com – so a US phone number in our house helps a lot to lower down the cost as friends and relatives in the US can call us for free and we can call them for only 1 peso per minute and usually we tell them to call us back.
Sir, Gud day…maybe you would like to try our services regarding Voip…
Avail our UNLIMITED Calls INTERNATIONALLY to 30,40,60 countries and more….Have a USA, CANADA, HONGKONG, SINGAPORE, CHINA and OTHER COUNTRIES telephone numbers of your choice here in the Philippines…..

or better yet, is there a “magicjack”-like voip from philippines to new zealand? ONE TIME PAY for unlimited calls??? =)
ltabby85@yahoo.com
Hi ya’ll:
I just want to ask about yeheycall.com if it is really legitimate. It says on their website that the cost is 0.010 cents a minute or $1 an hour. Anyone tried their service? Please let me know as I really want to call my relatives in Philippines and one more thing does my relative in Philippines need an internet connection to receive call? Can I dial through my home phone to call in the Phils. using yeheycall?
Any suggestions on how/where/what providers can I use to call in the Phils. for a very cheap amoount?
Thanks ya’ll
WOW ein super Artikel! Es macht immer wieder Spaß deine Beiträge zu lesen! Danke

We are putting up a call center here in ortigas. Our company is currently looking for a VOIP Services that will cater our clients in Australia. Can you send me proposal with regards to your rates.
Thank you. Hoping for a quick response.
Hi, did you manage to get a proposal from a VOIP service here in the philippines? Im also planning to put up a call centre. Please give me the number of the VOIP company you used. Thanks.
Hi Marilou.

I hate articles like this. SEO optimized at nauuna sa google pero walang kwenta at walang info. I went here to look for VOIP companies in the Philippines pero ano nakita ko? Blabbing about useless information na matagal nang alam ng lahat. Seriously, basahin mo ulit post mo kung may relevant information ba. Dinefine mo lang ang VOIP using wikipedia. How pointless. Shame on you.
TipidCalls is the best! $45/mo. Like $1.50/day. Visit our site for more.
international unlimited call
I use SKYPE from the Philippines to UK at 1.4 pence a minute. You need to put 10 pounds on your account with them and then decide to automatically top up if goes lower than 2 pounds. Other currencies are available. Seems good so far, my old lap top microphone and speaker system works very well but i can use headphones if i neeed to.
cheap calls to the Philippines and to any part of the world!
unlimited Philippine calling plans starts @ $25.00/month
Just like Etelepono. Where is this? I’m really interested
