Enjoy Calling with Cheap International Calls

TMC

Now-a-days, people are migrating to different parts of the world due to various reasons. Because of this, the demand for cheap international calls has increased considerably. Earlier, it was very difficult to make international calls, but due to internet, calls can be made using the digital and VoIP services. VoIP service enables the user to make domestic as well international calls from one’s personal computer. There are various VoIP monthly plans available by which calls can be made at very minimal rates. Various calling rates and plans are also available which allows the users to make calls at very low prices which does not burn a hole in their pockets.

An international calling card can be activated on the mobile phone by dialing the 10 digit secret PIN number. There are two types of international calling cards- postpaid and prepaid cards. In the postpaid calling cards, a person has to pay periodical amount and these cards are valid for specific period of time say 15 days, 1 month or 1 year. On the other hand, in a prepaid calling card, a person has to make advance payment depending upon his usage and budget. Prepaid cards are more popular as compared to the postpaid ones. This is because, in prepaid calling cards, a person has full freedom to choose a particular card as per his needs and budget. He can switch over to some other network provider whenever he wants to. In postpaid cards, a person cannot keep a track of their expenditure and end up making calls which prove to be very costly.

Before, purchasing an international calling card, one should thoroughly go through its terms and conditions including business VoIP services. There are many service providers such as Vodafone, Virgin, Orange, O2, Three, T-mobile, etc. which offers these international calling cards. In the market of cut throat competition, every service provider is offering great discounts and free gifts such as reduced roaming charges, calls and text messages at reduced rates, instant cash back offer and much more.

Phone Calls Over Twitter? That's A Tweet Deal, Jajah

Twitter users can now make short phone calls directly through their Twitter accounts using Jajah@call, a new service from Jajah, the Mountain View, Calif.-based IP communications company best known for Business VoIP services for landlines and mobile phones.

According to Jajah, the calling service works whether a user "calls" from Twitter itself or a third-party Twitter client -- including mobile clients such as Tweetie and Twidroid. All that's required is that both parties (the person making the call and the person answering the call) be Twitter users, both are signed up for Jajah and both are registered for the @call beta.

How it works is that the person making the call types @call into the Twitter prompt followed by the "@" symbol and the handle of the Twitter user (such as @channelweb), and Jajah connects the parties for a Business VoIP call that can last up to two minutes.

Telcos and mobile operators face huge challenges in a world where people check their Tweets or their Facebook messages before they check voicemail. Jajah@call showcases how easily we can bring telephony into the social media environment, where operators can now participate. The Jajah IP Business VoIP Communications Platform is chosen by carriers, mobile operators and online companies around the world who leverage not just our carrier-grade network, but our ability to develop proven, market-ready solutions that add value for their customers and their businesses.

It sounds great and all, Jajah, even though you'll probably earn the ire of telcos that've been known to give free Business VoIP calling services the stink eye in the past. Jajah already offers an iPhone application, seeing as Business VoIP calls aren't permitted on iPhone carrierAT&T (NYSE: T)'s 3G network.

And there's plenty of other quick messaging services, VoIP and otherwise, out there, including Google Chat and Skype. But the key difference for Jajah might be that it's tapping into a rapidly growing area (i.e. the Twitter community) with an easy-to-use Business VoIP service.
