Mobivox

Have you seen Mobivox?

I signed up but have not added any funds yet. It's a VIOP service. Calls to members and Skype users are free up to 250 min per week (?) under certain conditions. Local #s in 40 countries. Landline calls 1.9 US cents. One disadvantage right off the top is no DTMF transmission after the call is made. So I cannot retrieve my home or work voicemail with the service.

My Onesuite account expires in Feb and I think I am going to drop them and substitute this service. If it does not work out, I can always sign up with Onesuite again. Onesuite calling from overseas is comparatively expensive.

You can register foreign mobile numbers and supposedly, they will be recognized. I cannot try that out at this time. With internet access, you can change "registered" numbers.

Lowest rate I have seen from anywhere outside Germany to German mobiles - less than 18 cents per min. Expect rates to other EU mobiles is also good.

PS. Be glad to invite anyone. I get a bonus credit. You get a 25 cent credit to try out the service. I have made 4 short test calls and my balance is 19 cents. Worked from both REGISTERED home and US mobile #. My mobile is recognized on at least 2 of their "local access" numbers.
