It has been long (or at least it seems to be long) since my last post and now you know the reason behind the gap. I have been busy giving final touches to the latest website update and I am very excited to present our new website layout. The new website is an attempt to...

Contrary to our initial expectations, Vonage World Plan has really taken off and provided a new life line to Vonage. Before Vonage launched the Vonage world plan, there was a big question mark on the company’s strategies and its ability to compete with the new breed of VoIP service providers.

The last time we covered TelephonePakistan, it was offering a pretty nice unlimited calling plan to Pakistan. Looks like the offer was too good for TelephonePakistan to afford. Unlimited calling is a double edged sword and it can quickly backfire. We have already seen a few companies going down due to these unlimited plans. TelephonePakistan...

When it rains, it pours!!! Suddenly it appears that every VoIP provider is vying for the piece of action. First, it was ActionVoIP offering ultra cheap calls, then SmartVoIP offered an even better deal, then we had Airtel offering 1ct/min calling rate for India. Now, Voxox is getting into the act… Voxox launched last year with...

I don’t know what was “it” that motivated me to move to Wordpress. I guess the how-to’s on the internet fooled me into believing that it would be a really simple process (may be it is a simple process for php/css/html experts). To be fair, I probably was looking for too much and hence the...

I had written earlier about why a complete (or even a large scale) switchover to VoIP is not a plausible option under the current scenario. That belief is continuously being reinforced. I had signed up for Airtel Callhome and have been using it for some time. Although their rates are not the best, I use it...
