Unlimited Voip Service for Nepal

Worldlink, ISP from Nepal has launched a new voice-over-internet (VOIP) service called D2D, charging Rs 500 per month excluding VOIP Adapter which you need to run this service. A subscriber requires two VOIP devices (provided by WorldLink), and an account to use the Device-to-Device VOIP service. Each device costs Rs 4,500, while those without a router cost Rs 4,000.For Rs 500 per month you can call the other end. The talk-time is unlimited. The service works on a broadband of a minimum 64 kbps. Another ISP, WebSurfer, has also launched VOIP services. The service can be availed at Rs 4,000 for the VOIP device and a call to US would cost around Rs 2 per minute. I do not know how Nepal ISP block or allow SIP, however if they are asking you to buy two VOIP Adapters for 4000Rs and then connect them at both end and also pay Rs. 500 per month, they are cheating on you. This is pure SIP. you can get any SIP Adapter/VOIP adapter such as Linksys PAP2 from amazon for only $53 Buy 2 of these and connect one at your place and one at the other party where you want to call. Now you can make unlimited calls to each other and no need to pay Rs. 500 to worldlink

MTNL Launches JAADU : India's first 3G service in Delhi

Hi,

The newly launched India's first 3G service in Delhi is - MTNL Jaadu.

MTNL has launched its 3G service in Delhi and has named it Jaadu. With the launch it has become the first telecom operator in the country to launch third generation (3G) mobile services. But the service is on the expensive side as mobile users in Delhi will have to pay a one-time fee of Rs 500 as activation charges and a monthly rental of Rs 599.

Apart from this monthly rental, mobile users would have to pay for their phone calls.

For Voice calls -

From MTNL mobile to other network - Rs 1/min.
From MTNL network to MTNL network - Rs .60/min.

For video calls -: MTNL charges vary between Rs 3 and Rs 1.80 a minute.

Customers can also get video streaming applications such as “Live TV”, movie downloads on their mobile handsets. Subscribers will have to pay Rs 5 for each MB download. For using 3G service in your mobile, you only require a 3G enabled handset. (I guess many of you must be having it).

Now talking about the Voip part in the launched 3G service. One will be able to use voip for making cheap international phone calls. MTNL is charging Rs 3/minute from mobiles to more than 100 countries including Europe, the US and Canada. In comparison, international calls on private operators’ network costs about Rs 6 a minute. MTNL is able to offer lower tariffs because it routes the call through the Internet network.

Well the calling rates for both video calls, and international phone calls using voip ae not at all cheap. We have blogged about so many voip providers offering free calls to those 100 countries including Europe, the US and Canada.

I guess at present, if you are willing to spend this much money then you can opt fo MTNL 3G service but if you can wait for sometime then you would be getting much cheaper services. (When more 3G providers comes to market). Till then better make use of our Free PC to Phone calling ways to free international phone calls.

Please post your queries about 3G service or any other, we will be more willing to answer all your problems.
