Who is the Cheapest VoIP provider? – SmartVoIP vs. ActionVoIP
| By Alok Saboo on April 12th, 2009 |
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the cheapest of them all? Today, we revisit this debate on who is the cheapest VoIP provider? Well, let me first qualify the objective. We are looking for an overall cheaper VoIP provider and not necessarily the cheapest provider for “all destinations”. You may find another provider that offers cheaper rates to a particular destination.
I looked through the rates of several VoIP providers and came up with ActionVoIP as one of the cheapest VoIP provider. SmartVoIP, another Betamax offering, recently revised its rates (after I wrote that article) and forced me go over my decision again. I have summarized the rates for a few countries (which are important VoIP markets) for both ActionVoIP and SmartVoIP in the table below (rates in Euro cents).
| Country | SmartVoIP | ActionVoIP | Country | SmartVoIP | ActionVoIP |
| Argentina | 0.5 | 0.5 | Italy (landline) | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| Australia (landline) | 0.5 | 0.5 | Italy (mobile) | 7.5 | 7.5 |
| Australia (mobile) | 4 | 3.5 | Pakistan | 4 | 5 |
| Bangladesh | 2 | 2.5 | Philippines (landline) | 6 | 7 |
| Brazil | 1 | 0.5 | Philippines (mobile) | 8.5 | 9 |
| Canada | 0 | 0.5 | Sri Lanka (landline) | 4.5 | 5 |
| China | 0 | 0.5 | Sri Lanka (mobile) | 6 | 6 |
| India (landline) | 0.5 | 0.5 | United Kingdom (landline) | 0 | 0.5 |
| India (mobile) | 0.5 | 1 | United States of America (USA) | 0 | 0.5 |
As can be seen from the table, SmartVoIP now does better for a lot of countries as compared to ActionVoIP. You can call India for 0.5 cents (33 paise – this is the cheapest call rate for India we have found so far), Pakistan for 4 cents, Sri Lanka for 4.5 cents, etc. through SmartVoIP. ActionVoIP offers cheaper calls to Brazil, Australia and some other countries (not included in the table). Further, SmartVoIP offers 120 free days wherein you can make free VoIP calls to several countries including China, Canada, USA, Hong Kong, Japan, Russia, and a large part of Europe. Both offer local access numbers and SIP support. Both score low on customer service.
In summary, it looks like things are moving in support of SmartVoIP for the crown. So, if you are looking for one “cheapest VoIP provider” you should definitely consider SmartVoIP. You should definitely check the rates for your particular destination and then make a decision.

Lastly,iwas using nymgo but it's nolonger going thrugh and sometime it does not open the softwarephone and if it opens and imake acall it just cuts money so ihope voip will not do the same.
You could try Rynga.com or any other Betamax VoIP provider for cheap international rates. I would also recommend that you consider other options such as Stanacard or LocalPhone.

You can just look at the current rates and calculate accordingly. The rates keep varying daily and hence it is difficult to provide a fixed number.

Did you try recharging your account from the website? If that does not work, you may have to contact some resellers in your geography. The list of resellers is available in your account page. Hope this helps…
I would like to be a reseller or a prepaid calling card provider where there is very like option for cc. The rate is very expensive and there is only one provider. I would like to enter this market providing more affording calling card rate. How would I begin.
Wow…you have just described a dream market. You can begin by finding such a market..
