Hi Guys,
I am trying to use VOIP for the first time on my touch cruise so please bear with me.
I am trying to use VOIPstunt with Frings.
Anyone tried this before ?
If i am calling for example Singapore which is FREE stated on the VOIPstunt website, does it mean as long as i have a WIFI connection, i can call anyone in Singapore using Frings through VOIPstunt for free?
Frings I don't know but I use x-lite. And yes it works the way you asked on wifi (free)
The free call of course works also on 3g and hsdpa but you may be charged data rate if you don't have unlimited data plan.
For the setup, this is taken from their website:
- Display Name : fill in your your name, this name will be displayed in the phone screen of the person you are calling
- User name : fill in your username, this is the username you used for the registration of your VoipStunt-account
- Password : fill in your your password, this is the password you used for the registration of your VoipStunt-account
-Authorization user name : same as User name
-Domain : fill in sip.voipstunt.com
Edit: I have free call to belgium BUT only to fix number and not mobile phone. But for singapore they say to mobile too. So I think you are more lucky than me.
Thanks for your respond.
Do you use VOIPStunt as well ?
I tried it on my computer and it totally suck! i can;t even hear what the other part was saying! It was so distorted!..
u experience this too ?
I 've used Fring and VOIPStunt. They do work together. The settings should be:
myaccount.voipstunt.com with your ID and PW.
Remember that VOIP sound quality can be not so good thru the phone. It tasks the phone quite a bit and the network speed really needs to be WiFi quality. 3G can sometimes produce decent results, but its spotty.
I use VOIPStunt on my PC at home and it works brilliantly. MUCH better sound quality over Skype's voice service. I use it EVERY DAY since I have G/F situation where I am in the US and she is in Malaysia.
Now when I want to call her from my phone, I use their SMS-initiated phone call option. For a 5 euro-cent per call fee, they will let you initiate a phone-to-phone voip call. So, you SMS the VOIPStunt line (+447624802856) with a message content that only has the number you want to call. Then, it initiates a call. First, you get a call on your handset. Then, when you pick up, it dials the other party. And voila, you have a phone to phone call via VOIP that DOES NOT use data service. it uses your normal GSM phone line. So, the quality of the call depends on your voice connection, not your data connection quality. If you are calling from a US mobile to a any Singapore landline or mobile number, the call only costs you the 5cent connection fee!
So, as you can see, I use VOIPStunt ffrom my PC using the software and data. But when using my phone, I use the SMS-initiated phone-to-phone, so theres no need for Fring, or any other VOIP software on your phone.
Oh and BTW, another advantage of the phone-to-phone is you can use any headset, BT, wired, or the normal earpiecem since its just a normal call to you!
I use 3g VideoCall from Telme,works fine !
I use 3g VideoCall from Telme,it works fine on my TC except for the video right now (they say they will release a new version in march or april).
You can download it (from the download section) and use it for free (or with an account just like skype)after registering for free as a Free Member from here : http://web2.telme.sg/cedel/index.php?option=mod_joinus
With "Route 60" activated (as a distributor) u can even call for free to 60 countries on fixed phones (from which 6 countries on fixed AND MOBILES for free)
I call then free from mi 3gphone to fixed phones, to 3gphones and also even to computers having the correspondent software from Telme installed (Deskcall NG)
I tried fring with voipstunt and voipbuster, I could not find my Voip contactlist and was not convinced so I uninstalled it.
Fring....
I've tried Fring to a Skype contact and their voice came out of the speaker at the back!
So I was in the house yelling at my phone. haha...
Admittedly, I was setting them up live and given they aren't very IT, as far as they were concerned
what was I doing, "why didn't it just all work, like a normal phone" "explain, explain, explain"
And I had been playing music out of it so perhaps it was locked to the mic on the back....
Other than that, there did seem to be a baaaaaddd delay.
I'll try it again....

Well, almost free. 5 euro cents per call. yes via GSM. They eve just expanded their service. Now they provide a number to call for each country. You call that number, then enter in the number you wish to call. If you have unlimited calling in your country, then again, all you pay is the 5 euro cent connection fee. Its awesome.

i have a voipstunt and voipcheap account. can teach me step by step how to make a gsm call which cost only 5cents? im calling to austrialia which is a free destination call.
For best VOIP sound quality one should use a handsfree. Wired or BT - result is the same I'm using VOIP Buster Pro with my TC and Windows Mobile native VOIP and call quality is nearly perfect. No skipping at all with WiFi.
yes you can make free calls using GSM !

See this page: http://www.voipstunt.com/en/geo.html
It depends on where you are calling from. Depending on where you are, you call an access number via GSM on your phone. Then, once that answers, it prompts you to key in the number you want to call. If it is a free destination, then you only pay local charges to the original number. In the US, it only costs me my "minutes". THe call is otherwise free.

** VoipStunt reserves the right after a certain amount of SMS to start charging sms for the default rate. FREE SMS is available for users with Freedays.
anyone knows how many free sms can be sent to a free desination before they charge us?

no, and that is in fact very annoying because sometimes I use differents programs of Betamax like Voipstunt, voipwise, voipbuster, etc...(for different "free" countries or free SMS) with every time 12,50 € to pay for only 3 month and sometimes, they charge me or change the prices without notice !!
And I stay with credit I have to use with other prices than the prices when I put the credit. And they never answer to your emails !
