FreeCall offers cheapest call to India at 1.5 cents

With the recent news of ISP's being allowed to enter the VOIP market, Calling rates to India are getting extremely competitive and I have heard rumours that calling rate to India can be dropped to 1-2 USD cents (permanently) once these companies start rolling in their own VOIP infrastructure.

You don't wait for that day to come. Betamax (once again) has slashed calling rates to India to a mere 1.5 eruocents (2.2 USD cents). This is currently available on FreeCall. This is probably the cheapest international calling rate to India.

Apparently, they also offer SIP based calls. You can use the following settings:

Proxy domain: sip.voiparound.com : 5060
User domain: sip.voiparound.com
stun.voiparound.com : 5060

You can use this with your SIP Phone or VOIP adapter or even your favorite SIP Softphone. If you don't know how to set a SIP on Softphone, Read our how to Configure SIP provider on SIP Softphone .

Please note, Betamax usually charges 5 cents connection fee if the calls are routed via SIP (anything other than their own softphone). Please check before you start making calls using SIP.

We still can't rely on Betamax (FreeCall) as the cheapest VOIP Provider for India. As usual, we know these rates won't last for long, however lets hope they do. In the mean time, Lets just find out a stable long term cheap VOIP provider for India. We are confident that in the coming months, we will find someone good enough.
