Betamax Dialnow has more 0c/min destinations

with betamax and all names they market it under you have to look out for:

some services will not allow you to use a hardware sip device but you can only use their software.

some services will allow webcallback. You type your number and the number you want to call and you receive a call and get connected. Normally calling this way is not for free and has to be paid according their rate schedule.

Rates, free destinations can vary from week to week.

Don't expect real customer support if you have any problems. Betamax customersupport is famous for not answering mail.
There is a forum at www.voipbuster.com/forum where you can ask questions.

Yes this is all very true. Just one small comment...

Dialnow is slightly unique amongst their other brands as it is not regarded as a real VoIP service. It therefore has no SIP or softphone interface. It can be purely used through various access numbers like any other callthrough/account or phonecard service.

However it is possible to setup a web callback with it and there is an extra 5ct connection fee but AFIK the per minute rates are the same for using this.

On the brands with Freedays, they don't apply with this, though they have done with sms callback

Using the mobile Java client, now available for all brands, the connection charge is not one-off, but a 1 cent per minute supplement (I haven't yet tested this across several brands).
