Free Voip incomming calls .....
 

@Anyone,

I finally have out-going calls working with VoipBuster thanks to Kwag. :mrgreen:
The sound quality is great and the cost is free :grin: I'm now trying
to get free/cheap in-coming calls on the same line. Here's my options:

1) Asterick@Home using IPKall (Washington DC numbers). This involves
using AAH as PBX and IPKall to redirect the in-comming call to a
Wash. DC number (area code 360-xxx-xxxx). This cost the caller $.

2) Callcentric has a pay-per-call plan. You sign-up for an account,
deposit $5, and calls per minute in US are 2 cent. Then
pay for a virtual phone number at $6 monthly. They have phone
numbers in my area (215, 267, 610, etc.). I like this flexiable
plan, but sound quality is not known. :roll: BTW, all their plans
have caller id, call waiting, call block, and more. :mrgreen:

If anyone has some suggestions and/or comments feel free to post :smile:

Yep, basically having the same problem here: how to have incoming PSTN calls to my home SIP phone/PBX.
Currently I only have an IPKall U.S. number but this way people calling me from across the street pay an International call :(.
Still haven't found a good cheap way of doing it.
I'm currently talking with my SIP provider (www.netcall.pt) to see if they will have such service soon and how much I will pay for it.
Cheers

Hi Rui,

How about VoIPcheap :idea: :?:
It's free calls to Portugal :D

Your family and friends can use that to call you, until some provider starts with free DID in your area :cool:

@Kwag,

This is interesting since they offer free incoming phone numbers.
Does this service work with Linksys PAP2. I read that it doesn't. :roll:
To find out which numbers are available you must register first. :roll:
If anyone has this voip service can you tell me if numbers are available
for 215, 267, 610. Thanks :)

Yes, but I believe this is for UK only.

Right now I can't confirm that.
I have registered with them and I am currently testing their breakout service to Portuguese landlines for free.
But apparently I can only access the "get your incoming phone number page" if I buy 10£ GBP of credits.
I won't do that right now because what I really want is SIPDiscount service.
But I simply can't download their softphone which is how I could register in their network...
I keep getting "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." when I hit the download link on their site :evil: .
Even because from them I can start by buying $10 USD credits against 10£ GBP :lol:.
Much cheaper on SIPDiscount if you know what I mean :lol:.
BTW, VoipCheap free services only work with landlines and NOT with mobile phone providers.
I wonder if the same happens with SIPDiscount :roll: .

That's weird... :?
How can that be possible?
The PAP2 simply acts like a PC such as an IP phone (SIP / H.323).
Obviously they could trace if it's not their softphone on the other end but how can they trace if the service is being delivered to a physical IP phone or to an ATA device?
Unless if such service is not available for IP phones as well as for ATA devices.
Just a thought.
Cheers guys
