Voipcheap.com and other Betamax sms callback

andy · 05-10-2008, 20:47

This thread was mainly about sms triggering of callback. I think this was suspended or stopped working ** on most of the Betamax brands, though they did launch a brand dedicated to this, called text4calls , which I'd forgotten to add to this thread

** edit - I gather that some sms callback is working again

If you're trying to send sms from the Betamax voipclient program, then yes this should still be possible, though I haven't done so recently. You have options of switching between predictive text or multiple key press (e.g. 3 x '3' = f) within the program, just like other text entry on the phone.

But you ought to check webcalldirect rates, as most of the Betamax free text offers have disappeared, and the others aren't as cheap as they used to be.

There are several other possibilities, which are discussed on this thread - it starts about sms rates on SIM cards, but digresses on to mobile Java clients, data costs and so on

Can anyone tell me which Betamax clones currently do SMS callback? I need to try and set one up again. Text4calls seems to just reroute to telediscount.
