CallingCredit.com – Low cost VoIP calls all around the world (incl. India, China) [Review]

By Alok Saboo on May 24th, 2010

Launching new VoIP services is nothing new for companies such as Dellmont Sarl and Betamax. Between the two they have over 30 different VoIP services (see a list of all Betamax/Dellmont VoIP services) and continue to introduce new services every now and then. Recently, Dellmont Sarl introduced another VoIP service – CallingCredit.com. Today, we take take a deeper look at this new service. Since, call rates is their strong point, let us start with their rates.


Call Rates

CallingCredit is a VoIP-based calling card service claiming to offer “lower rates all around the world”. True to its name, CallingCredit offers some really good rates across the globe. Without belaboring the point, let me highlight some of the rates to various destinations. You can check the exact rates for your destination here.

Country Rates Country Rates Country Rates
India (mob) € 0.005 Bangladesh € 0.01 Pakistan (mob) € 0.03
India (Land) € 0.009 Cameroon (mob) € 0.1 Pakistan (Land) € 0.02
Philippines (mob) € 0.09 Cameroon (Land) € 0.05 Mexico € 0.005
Philippines (Land) € 0.07 China € 0.005 Australia (Land) € 0.01

These are some really really good rates. In fact, India mobile for € 0.005 is one of the cheapest calling rates to India we have seen so far. This is lower than other Betamax providers such as Rynga, Jumblo, SmartVoIP, etc. Although you must beware that these cheap rates come at a cost – no customer service.

Features

Using the service is fairly straight forward; you can make calls in two ways – local access number and mobile application. To make calls using the local access number, just enter your numbers that you will use to make calls and then dial the local access number in your country and then dial the destination number in the international format to make calls. Remember, you do not have to enter any PIN number to make calls. To automate this process, you can follow our tutorial to use calling cards smartly so that you do not have to dial the numbers manually.

The other option is to use their mobile application to make calls. This application is nothing more than a automated dialer, it does not use SIP or your data plan. The dialer makes a call to the local access number and then connects you to your destination.

If you are in a country which does not have a local access number, you can use their Phone-to-Phone service. Under this method, you just log onto their website and enter your phone number and the number you want to be dialed and CallingCredit will complete the call. The service will first call you and then the other party. Remember, you will be charged for both the calls – calls made to you and to the destination number.

CallingCredit does not provide SIP support, so you are restricted to using the above methods to make calls. Also, in all the calling methods detailed above, you will be using your local cell phone minutes.

Final Thoughts

If you are looking for ways to make cheap calls to various destinations, CallingCredit is definitely a good option. However, you must keep in mid a few things. CallingCredit does not provide SIP support, so you are restricted in terms of using the service. If your country does not have a local access number, this may not be they best service for you. Also, it does not provide free international calling – a common feature among such services.

If you have used the service, please share your thoughts…

    Yes you can use a SIP device. Just use sip.actionvoip.com with your callincredit account. I`m using with my SIPURA 3102 and it is working fine.

  • hari

    hello friends
    is there a plan link jaxtr free calling

  • raj

    but in the site it shows that its 1cent per call to india

  • shri

    The rate to india today per their website is € 0.01 ( 0.012 usd). Do they keep changing rates so frequently ? Anyway, No sip.. No way for me.

    As you have noticed, VoIP providers often change the call rates to various destinations depending on their business objectives. So, it is advisable to check the exact rates when you are making calls.

    Callingcredit does not provide SIP, but there are several others that do and provide you with similar calling rates. In fact, under the promotion, you can get the cheapest calling rates to India.

    Jaxtr provides free calling between a few countries. I will write about it soon, but for the time being you can get some details on their website (http://www.jaxtr.com/user/index.jsp)

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/WPZPVJAPGG5UXW6RNEOSGO2AZE Sajeev

    I see that callingcredit has very attractive rates. But since it doesnot have SIP, it tends to cost more by using the two options it has for calling. I was thinking whether we can use another service like rynga to dial the access number which calling credit.com provides us with; say access number of australia which rynga provides in its list of free calls and then we can use our callingcredit.com pin code and call to the preferred destination. In that way we will be charged only for the one way call. Will this work??

  • http://truvoipbuzz.com Alok Saboo

    Sanjeev, that looks like a decent option – Thanks for the note!!

    I am guessing if you use Rynga or any other provides to make calls, your caller-ID will not be transferred so you may have to enter your telphone number to authenticate yourself. Although you can automate the whole calling card dialing process using our tutorial. Let me know if it works.

    Indeed the voip call rates are really cheap and seems to be a good alternative in the present market.
    BUT for a good service to foster to its pinnacle (customer satisfaction )..one has to provide customer care.
    you can increase your call rates by 20%..but with a combo of customer care service…it will still be a unmatchable in terms of cost perspective.

    Nikhil, very well said. There is clearly a need to balance customer service and call rates. There are only a few companies which are able to walk this tight rope….

    Glad to see that it supports Asian countries like India and China.

  • Skmisradps2009

    i am user account no access199 but software deleted i want reload it how can

    • http://truvoipbuzz.com Alok Saboo

      I am not sure if I completely understand your problem, but which software are you talking about. CallingCredit does not require any software unless you are using it on your mobile phone.

  • http://voiptopper.blogspot.com/ Voiptopper

    rate of indian mobile is really chep, but without sip support its not worth it for me.

  • Deadgrip

    in my country rynga has been restricted…can i get the unblocked proxy…!!

    • http://truvoipbuzz.com Alok Saboo

      Unfortunately, most proxies are not free, so you may have to pay for such service. Depending on the volume of calls you make, it may still be worthwhile.
