"Global Calls for Less
One company rebuffed by the carriers is Rebtel Networks, a
Swedish provider of cheap international calls over the Web.
Rebtel wants to use short codes to bring its service to mobile
phones. Users would send a text message containing the desired
global phone number to Rebtel's short code. They would then
receive a text message with a local phone number to dial, paying
pennies per minute for the call rather than the much higher sums
cellular carriers charge for overseas connections."
Now much of an issue, actually. That's why we have CONTACT LISTS
and VOICE DIALING.
I was an original beta tester for Mobivox:
http://www.mobivox.com/
You simply put your Mobivox server number in your contact list on
the phone. Tell the phone, "Call Cheap" (or whatever silly name
you want to put it under). The Mobivox server answers with a
really nice voice recognition system. Mobivox is also tied in
with Skype so when you call it already has your Skype contact
list loaded off the Skype server. You can call people on Skype
for FREE!....well, plus your mobile phone airtime if applicable.
If you call to a phone or mobilephone overseas, Mobivox works
just like Skype, deducting your call's charges from your
PRECHARGED Mobivox account. England, for instance, is 1.9c/min,
even cheaper than Skype Out charges from Skype phones. Mobivox
works from ANY phone, landline or mobile, because it has regular
access numbers across the planet. It doesn't depend on SELLphone
carriers to cooperate with it in any way. Their numbers are just
another phone number. Mobivox has matured nicely and works
great.
Oh, too, if you have a FREE incoming SELLphone, like Nextel, you
can talk on Mobivox FOR FREE! You send a text message to
Mobivox, even an email will work, telling Mobivox what number you
want to call. Mobivox recognizes your caller ID number and your
account balance so you need do nothing to get it to call you.
Very shortly after the message is sent, (a few days on Verizon
sometimes..(c;), Mobivox makes the connection by calling you
BOTH, a free incoming Nextel (or whatever) call. Mobivox calls
the party, first, then plays them a message to please wait a few
seconds. If they answer, it calls your phone and connects. If
they don't, Mobivox still calls you to tell you the party doesn't
answer. If their answering machine answers, it interconnects you
with it, of course. That works great, too, and is especially
useful on landline ripoff long distance charges, stopping them.
Make a free trial call on the homepage to see how well Mobivox
works. Just put your number and someone else's number in the
boxes and let Mobivox call you both. Don't take my word for it.
Mobivox WILL eat your precharge if you don't use it in 6 months
or a year, I forget which. Precharge is only $10, the only money
you have to spend is when you USE it. There's no "monthly
charges" our wonderful SELLphone companies love so much...(c;
