[Q] I need some calling apps that dont charge connection fees - General Questions and Answers

sorry not interested in kakao, line, or viber type apps. I need to call out to family in a village up in the philippines. Anyone have a list or anything? there are too many f'ing apps on google play and I don't know which one is better. Some seem ok, but have outdated comments.

You need a app that can call landlines basically. There are a bunch of them I've tried rebtel, global call, noble...err i forget the name. I don't know what you actually mean by 'better'. You should try Global Call, its probably the cheapest at the moment, that is if you buy credits.
I did you a favor and found a promotion link they're having from their fb page. Basically you buy an XX amount of credits and you get that same amount back. ( I cant use it since i dloaded the app way back last year). But you can and show your thanks by sending me some credits :laugh:
Anyways, here you go bro, Global Call bonus page.
When it comes to voip apps, I usually stick to the less popular ones as they need to 'give' more than the popular brands to attract customers.

Sweet man thanks. do you know if it works with wifi? no mentioning of it on the page you gave me. I installed the app but i cant try it out until i purchase credits.

PC with internet, you can use LINE or SKYOE
Android/IOS with internet, LINE or SKYPE can call to PC client.

Well, if a computer is involved Magic Jack would be the cheapest. But for calling other phones both mobile and landline, Global Call is the cheapest by far. You should check out their promotion in the link I posted earlier. That is, if you've never used it before, as the promotion only applies to new users.

Agreed YouMail is awesome. You can use the free service but I gladly pay the 19.99 for the year for this great service. Well worth it.

[APP] Spotify USA NEED INVITE or UK Member to sign me up!

Hi I currently reside in the USA and spotify (because of the darned record companies) has not made its way over here yet. I heard that if someone invites your or someone based in the UK or other countries where its supported signs you up you can use the service. So being that the community here on XDA is full of surprisingly generous people I thought I would give it a whack and ask to see if anyone could help me I am willing to donate via paypal if someone truly can help! THANK YOU FOR ALL REPLIES
I tried all sorts of proxy methods already and it seems as though they blocked this method....

You need to have a Premium account to be able to stream to your phone, that costs £10 a month.

well thats fine I would like to get a free trial though to start then go from there
I'm on it I'll just fill out some random name and stuff. You can change it yourself later.
Btw, i need your email. PM it to me
I am sorry, but it won't work. Maybe it'll work at first, but the free account only allows you to listen outside the allowed countries within 14 days, after that you won't be able to listen any more. And to pay for the service you need to be in an allowed country, otherwise you won't be able to pay
Yeah, you'll just have two weeks, but that's two weeks of sweet listening

Does it work outside US?
I got an invite someone can use if they want to also. I prefer Google Music personally...
read someone got charged even he was on a trial account
Act with caution.
Check out this thread in the general section

Well...for me I thought there was three levels. One which is free and two which is the paid version that was recently released here. This is not a free trial rather a free service with an option to upgrade.
I do not know how they are charged. I didn't give out any account info, so I am unsure on that part. Was it charged on the phone bill? I'll need some clarification.

[Q] Help to find Stolen phone, Still appear in Play Store with Different SIM

Hi,
My Samsung Galaxy S2 was stolen recently. But I see it appear in Google Play Store with different operator name but under my Google account. And can install apps through web.
Could someone give me some ideas on how I could locate or call the person who is using the phone? Please Please.
I tried SamsungDive but since the sim is changed it's asking to register again.

Incase someone else is looking for solution,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb&hl=en
Plan B is the 'find my phone' app that you download AFTER you lose your phone.Plan B is your last resort to find your missing phone.
This is the first and only 'find my phone' app that you download AFTER you've already lost your phone. Having Lookout on your phone is the best way to protect your phone and find it fast, but use Plan B if you have already lost your phone and didn't have Lookout installed.
Follow these easy steps to use Plan B:
1. Install Plan B to the phone that you are trying to find from the Android Market website: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.labs.planb.
2. Plan B will start automatically and send your phone’s location to your Gmail address.
3. To locate again after 10 minutes, borrow a friend’s phone and text the word “locate” to your lost phone.
Using Plan B is simple, but requires access to the Android Market website and your Google account. (If you have an Android phone, you already have a Google account.)
After you install it, Plan B will start locating your phone using cell towers and GPS. On some phones, Plan B can switch GPS on automatically. Your location will keep updating for 10 minutes, and you will get an email each time it is located, whether the phone is moving or standing still. You can start the process again by texting “locate” to your number from any other phone. In order to locate your phone, we send you a text via SMS, so standard message rates apply.
Once you have found your phone, download Lookout Mobile Security for full protection.
Technical Details
=================
* You'll get one email message when Plan B starts, and up to 5 other messages as it refines your phone's location or tracks it as it moves.
* Each location email will include an accuracy rating in meters.
* Plan B will attempt to launch as soon as it downloads, but in some cases you will need to send an SMS to get it started.
* Note that your location is only sent to the Gmail address that is already associated with your phone; nobody else can access your location using Plan B.
* U.S. Users: If a data connection is not available, Plan B will use mobile-originated SMS messages to send your location to your email address. Regular SMS rates may apply.

Just wanted to know though....
u mention that this is a part of lookout mobile security.....
doesnt others have such a thing to locate the phone?
like avast, bitdefender n so on ?
Keep Cerberus and Avast! in mind in the future. They'll save you a major headache.
Avast! Works very well with Cyanogenmod but if you dont want to root you can use Lookout. Plan B is also their app.

I had some guy that kept looking at my phone and then was watching me enter locker combo to put it in. I turned around, told him I would track him down and go into his house while he was asleep and beat the crap out of him if it went missing. Needless to say, the phone was never touched

Planb made by lookout, which is also a great app, is good however look at user reviews and notice that it is obviously turned on.
I would recommend turning on the phone asap or at night. Regardless I would install lookout and plan b BEFORE it is lost. And ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.
Plan B works great! Update us on how it goes!

Samsung Galaxy S2 ICS Stolen
Hi Guys,
My galaxy s2 was stolen while i was travelling in train. Mcafee is not able to locate it as well as samsung dive failed too.The version is ICE cream sandwhich so even PLAN B wont work as of now on this ! Only option left is tracking through IMEI number. Have reported cops and they are searching too. Could anyone please tell me how to track the mobile in such situation. LATITUDE is saying no recent history. any other app that works like plan b even after the mobile is stolen or any way of tracking through IMEI ALONE itself ? or any method thats too technical.

Got an email to promote my app

Hello,
I'm new into app development.I have a few apps and i get around 100 downloads on all my apps daily ,and yesterday i received an email from a company that does ASO ,and a few more things a forgot what they said.
I also had a Skype call with them ,they are offering me to promote my app ,to translate it to more languages etc..
They claim that my downloads will raise ,and that my revenue will be bigger.
I don't know 100$ is kind of lot's of money to pay, also they told me that they have a money back guaranty.But I don't know what to think to be honest.Should i go for it?
Seems a bit fishy...
How can you be sure you would be able to get any money back if you aren't satisfied?

Just tried to get installs for my app. Spent $10 to advertise my app using cpidroid.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alsudfa.farmdefenderfree
Looks like I got 50+ downloads because of it. Results are delayed due to Google console. I uploaded my app to amazon as well as a place called app mania. I've gotten 200+ downloads just by using keywords in my app name.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.infoscript.whenpigsfly
example of that. I spent $10 and I haven't received a review or rating. Ad mob earnings resulted in $0.32. I don't think the campaign is over yet, but it's looking like it. I hear 90% of your earnings will come from your top 10% of users. I don't think purchasing installs is the way to go.
I am hoping to learn of ways to get installs.
