FREE calls from India

(For full text with comments please click on the title)

Did u bite your nails when i posted about VOIPcheap and you cant call India PSTN/Mobile lines with it?

Well..here is the solution for that problem and now be happy coz although you cant call them..They can surely call you.

It took me some time to figure out this voipcheap hack...So please read it carefully before you try your hands at it.

Lets see how this voipcheap hack will work

What happens When you register for VOIPcheap?

Voipcheap will track your IP address at the time of registration. for e.g you are registering from USA or UK, the Id will enable you to make FREE calls since these countries fall under the FREE calls Beta version promotion by Voipcheap.

What if I am registering from India?

Voipcheap will trace your IP to india and blocks all outgoing FREE calls. You can however make one call, i heard different reports from people. One of my brother was able to make 30 calls within India. You better check it on your own. It might be possible that they have restricted FREE calls to 30 for non-FREE destinations like India.

Whats the hack?

The hack is to register from a proxy which belongs to the FREE destinations country. Voipcheap will trace your IP to the foreign country and will let you call FREE to these destinations for unlimited time.

Now you can ask your parents/Bro in India to set this up and make calls FREE.

Do drop your views/comments/original hacks etc.


If you like to use my hack or work on this, please LINK me back. I have spent several hours to figure out this hack myself :-) now you can make free calls from india.

if you are looking for free calls to india? then read this post

Does that work for you?? Let me know. If you find any issues with this hack or improvements, please drop comments. They are always welcome.

Can you also review SIP phones?

Manish

Hmm.. didnt work, says, you have reached the limit for free trial calls.. buy credits.. :(

Vinay said...

Did you tried the way i told you? Use d a proxy to register?

Find free proxies online at
www.proxy4free.com/page1.html

Let me know your results so i can hack more if required.

Vinay said...

Manish,

I will try to review SIP phones but i am currently busy hacking Skype 3 for FREE calls since it will be a paid service soon.

d@k$h said...

hej vinay,

dude i downloaded the s/w via a proxy website http://www.surfonsteroids.com

but when i tried to register a new login id i had some problems with it :)

i tried to use the similar trick in "Jajah Website" and could successfully make calls to my sis in India for abt 20 minutes flat

Anonymous said...

I stay in US.. I registered at voipcheap and gave the userid and password to my parents in india. But after a few minutes, it said that I had exhausted the limit of free trial calls.

Vinay said...

Anonymous,

I have already explained and asked everyone to read it very carefilly. To make sure this hack workds, you have to use a proxy. The software will otherwise know from which country you are dialing from. So they need to use a proxy of USA, Singapore etc. basically countries which are under FREE list.

I have also got updates that the new version has issues with it. People who registered with older version are still able to make FREE calls.

I will download the newer version now and test the hack or else will find another workaround for it.

Thanks for dropping by.

HI! bro Great work,, but I\m not sure how to enable free proxy! plz let me knwo , thank a lot...

Anonymous said...

Yes please do explain how to enable free proxy

sinistre said...

i wanted to know how can i make free calls to pakistan. i tried various techniques bt failed in every.

Vinay said...

Find free proxy here:
www.proxy4free.com/page1.html

Once you get a proxy from say USA.

Just go to Internet Explorer-Tools-Internet Options-Connections-Lan Settings

The click on proxy serverAdvanced. Input the IP with Port then apply and ok. Restars the browser (not necessary but better).

Good luck with Free calling

visu said...

My Net Connection is via university's proxy server that belongs to india.Now after changing the proxy with the one of USA, i am unable to connect to internet even.Can u find out a solution..@vinay.
Thanks in advance.

Anonymous said...

Hi,
I have been trying something like this with Skype (created a VPN) but no success. I will try using proxy and VoipCheap but my question had anyone tried setting up SIP phone. As I see the settings there is separate proxy "sip.voipcheap.com " to be used for SIP phone, it will not use IE proxy setting...any idea??

Vinay said...

Visu, Try finding more proxies. I think you should be able to get one working. If your university blocks proxy addresses, you might want to use iCall. Read my post about iCall here: http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2006/12/icall-another-skype-alernative-call-us.html

iCall is very useful for calling USA & Canada.

If you want to call other countries, Read my latest hack here: http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2007/01/allfreecallsnet-hack-to-make-worldwide.html

Ray said...

Vinay,

TO bypass Voipcheap free trial calls limit I need to register with a proxy of one of a free destination list, I need to use high-anonymous or anonymous proxy (of U.S, i.e.) to it works? or I can use a even transparent one ? thanks

Vinay said...

Ray,

you can use any, as long as the proxy works OK. Some proxy dont run 24/7, and sometime they are down. You can try pinging the proxy to check if you can connect.

High anonymous are better but sometimes they have issues with internet surfing. So it's all about finding a good proxy (very easy) and registering.

Have fun...Alternatively use my latest hack for allfreecalls.net

Hi Vinay
Im using IVOPBUSTER.
I have IE n Firefox. Im living in India n i have changed my ip n applied it of US. when i open my Firefox google site, it opens google india but in IE the google site is different. So is it means that i got working US IP? n im successful as u have told to change IP?
So can i now make free calls from India to India (PC 2 Phone). If no please help me with the alternative.
Thanks
Lalu

Im from Argentina, according to the voipcheap page, i can make free calls to other countries in the page list.
I have been trying out this program and making some calls to my friends, but after a while it says i have to buy credit.
Any solution?
Thanks.

Vinay said...

@lalu, Yes you should be able to do it now..So try and let me know or else i will give you some other solution.

@anonymous: If you credit has expired after 120 days...you cant do anything..Just register another username and again use it for 120 days..:-) simple isnt it...lol

sanju said...

hii vinay...i tried out evrything u told but not able to make it free...did changed many ip addresses....started nd restarted browser...did setup the s/w many times...but nothing z working...wat to do??

sanju said...

hey vinay....i did all the suggested but not able to make t free...tried different ip addresses...started n restarted browser...did setup the s/w many time...but nothing z workng out....wat to do???

Vinay said...

@sanju:

Canyou tell me which country you are trying to call and from where? so i can help you better

sanju said...

I m in india only....nd i want to make calls within india only...

Vinay said...

calling within india is diffult my friend..unless both of you have the same software and a SIP phone to connect to..then you can call them free..

do you know anything about SIP phones? I will try to write an article about setting up a SIP phone

sanju said...

ooohh okk dear....anyway thnx dude...
will try to find bout SIP..

sanju said...

one more thing to ask...is...can i use any ip address of usa or any other country? well, i tried out many frm the list of free proxy but i didnt find any change...the goole was still the google india:)
Then, also, if suppose, m able to change my ip and suppose my proxy is one of usa's, doesn't that mean that m making call frm usa, nd then, cant i make call to india??

Vinay said...

First of all let me clarify..This hack is for people calling from India and not for people calling to India. Since india doesnt allow free termination of PSTN calls and BSNL/MTNL charges for a connect charge which is in turn passed on to you. So if you register with a USA proxy you will be pretending that you are from USA then you can call usa & many other countries free which is otherwise not possible.

if you are getting india, your proxy isnt working right. Maybe ur ISP is bypassing your proxy settings. how did you set it up?

sanju said...

thanks for the clarification....
well, i followed the steps told by u to set the proxy....i changed it in lan settings and used a proxy frm the free proxy list....
since all these didnt worked out, i tried to find it in google also....there also the same steps r shown.....but nothing z working....

Vinay said...

sanju,

it seems that your ISP is bypassing proxy connections..since even after changing so many IP you get google india. Thats only possible when your proxy settings are filtered by ISP.

you cant do much about it..sorry mate

How to sign up for account with voicheap using proxy? Account can only be created through the voipcheap application. If i specify proxy in internet explorer then only browser will go through proxy and not data from voipcheap proxy

Vinay said...

no the data will also pass through the proxy if you set it up properly. some ISP however bypass proxy settings especially in India, the local cable operators use a proxy so they bypass all proxy settings you used. That makes it difficult. However try using High anonymous proxies, tend to do well.

did you use gizmocall? try using that...read my article about gizmocall on the blog. Secondly there is a service called callfreetochina. For that you need to call a iowa number in USA, now since your parents are in india , they can use icall to call that number and then dial your number.

Read about icall on my blog and how to use it.

If that doesnt work for you, you might be using a private VPN via cable operators or the your ISP is bypassing your proxy settings.

Manni said...

Vinay

before I start: great blog !

You probably know all this, but here is what I think happens with the new VoipCheap SW:

I use a proxy (tried several which BTW slowed down DL speed tremendously) and I can see that IE indeed goes through the proxy. But Firefox does not. So there must be a way for a clever SW to bypass that config. So when I register as a new user the new VCheap SW knows with or w/o proxy that I am coming from Belgium (I can tell by looking at the Personal Profile, which automatically gives the country). So I do wonder what happens if I reconfigure the TCP/IP settings with the proxy IP. Any ideas?

Manni

Vinay said...

Manni,

Most of the local ISP like cable operators in India use PPPOE or private VPN in those cases, your proxy settings will be overridden by their proxy.
however if u r using mtnl, bsnl, sify, airtel etc you might give it a try and hopefully this hack will work.

If you re-configue TCP/IP settings and using a ISP with DHCP, then you wont be able to use it coz the ISP will ovverride with their IP. If you using a static IP (most cable operators), you wont be able to connect to their gateway.

However if u get successful by this method, let me know. but i dont think you will be.

Let us know.

Manni said...

Vinay,

unfortunately, you are right. Tinkering with the TCP/IP settings will not get you anywhere; the ICP will not accept it and there no longer is online access.

My point was a different one; namely that the new VOIPcheap SW has a way of bypassing the system proxy settings (via Control Panel, Internet Options .... ); just as Firefox has. My ISP (I am from Belgium) does not override these proxy settings, as is proved by the fact that IE clearly goes via the proxy. But Fx as well as VCheap do not. Therefore it seems to me that only an older version of the SW will do. See also my post under the "Reasons to avoid updating" thread

Vinay said...

thanks manni for those valuable inputs. I will try to host the older version somewhere for download.

Hi all, yesterday I have installed voipcheap.

I have airtel broadband connection in INDIA.

I tried to create an a/c using that software. But it shows an unknown error. I can pick one proxy server and port, but putting it in web browser, is enough..?

Because I can not create a/c, it always showing un-known error.

Vinay said...

is airtel bypassing your proxy? please check and let me know. You can quickly check that by choosing a proxy of any country and visiting google. If google redirects to the local search then the proxy is working

lol..anonymous you are right..with 10 euros there are no hassles. but if yo u want free then you need the hack :-)

Abramos said...

hi, vinay
i've been in India for quite time now, used to try icall but recently started using airtel's mobile connection to get into the net.
Do u think the speed of 921Kbps be sufficient to run program like voicecheap(icall never logged me in with this connection).
Besides, i tried all your procedures to hack, but didn't worked for me, do i need to configure each of my connections under dial-up &VPN settings or only under LAN settings.
voicecheap also didn't registered me(if u hav couple of ids let me 1, i'm in dire need)

Vinay said...

airtel seems to be giving some issues. One other use also reported a similar issue. However i will try to create id for you. can you drop an email with required username etc? will do it over the weekend. thanks for dropping by.

am surprised that icall doesnt work. it used to give the same issue to another user but when i created an id..it works ok for him..wondering why is that?

Alternative you can use gizmocall. if you hubby has a fixed rate plan in UK which gives him cross-network free minutes there are many providers who allow making free calls from UK to pakitan. Ask him to check that out. Hope it helps

Anonymous said...

Vinay,

I have downloaded the Voipcheap along with the proxyway pro. I have install the proxway and its configure from IE to route from different country. So, here is my questions now.
1. How do I configure the voipcheap to route through proxy? I think its going through my LAN.

2. Would it be much simple if someone registers Voipcheap from India? Than will I be allowed to make calls from USA?

I think step by step instruction would help..

Vinay said...

to use the proxy, you should be having a ADSL or cable connection. Cable means a direct cable connection via router or cable modem and not a PPPoE connection. PPPoE will typically filter all proxy traffic.

You can ask someone in India to set it up. But if you are in USA, i would suggest you ask them to use iCall. They allow unlimited talktime to USA & Canada.

Let Peter Pay - Germany (www.peterzahlt.de)

Just found out about this new web based phone service: PeterZahlt.de.

Tried it: It works!

It's in German so here are the basics in English:
- Enter your phone no. (1)
- Enter the number you want to call (2)
- Click "kostenlos telefonieren"

Now your phone rings, pick it up and the connection is under way.

No downloads or extra gadgets needed.

After 30 Min. you're disconnected but can go through the same procedure immediately afterwards and continue your conversation.

Service available between 6 a.m. and midnight.

Following countries could be reached thru this service:

Germany +49
France +33
England +44
Italy +39
Austria +43
Switzerland +41
Spain +34
USA & Canada +1 (Also cell connect)
Australia
Belgium
Denmark
Finland
Greece
Luxemburg
Nederland
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Sweden
Singapore

Suggestions are most welcome!
Everyone can suggest his/her destination.

That's for the moment!!

More VoiP details would follow soon.

Cheers

Vinay said...

Thanks for sharing. However to just everyone know that www.peterzahlt.de is only for german numbers. I checked the site some days back. I couldn't test it since it needs german number. However a great way to make free calls if you are in germany.

try using gizmocall. it should work alright. or alternatively ask your folks in india to use this hack to make calls to you

Anonymous said...

In your post you mentioned calling from PSTN / Mobile lines of India to any phone listed in the "FREE" calling countries on VOIPcheap. With this hack, would the users of VOIPcheap in India be able to use there PSTN / Mobile phones? If yes, how? If I put any number starting with 0091 as either of the number (caller's number in case of "directcall") it doesn't dial it - tried it both from India and US. Or would they just be able to talk through microphone attached to the computer?

rajonline

Vinay said...

i guess you got it wrong. You cant use directcall feature from india coz the whole idea of the hack is to trick voipcheap that you are not from india. you cant india but you can call from india. i hope i clarified it better this time?

raj said...

hi, vinay, this is the great job ur doing. u have tremendous knowledge and ur using it to help people. and thats a very generous thing.

i am staying in india, in mumbai. and i want to amke free calls to USA via skype. but they come to know that i am from india.
i tried the way u told me to do in the blog that change the proxy, i did that too, but was unable to do that. can u duggest some other way by which i can change my IP as if i am form USA.? i am using MTNL ADSL broadband service. with router is D-link GLB502-t. The setting is on PPPoE. but m not sure as this setting is provided by my service provider.
please help me out and i will be greatful to you.
bye and thank you in advance.

and also, i am not able to LOG in in icall. it is either taking exceptional long time to log on or it is telling wrong password, though it is correct. please help me out for that also.

Vinay said...

PPPoE typically filters all proxy settings, thats the reason you cant set a proxy. I suggest you can try tor.eff.org, anonymous proxy.

icall takes a lot of time. I heard these reports from others in india. here in singapore, it connects within 30 secs. I have no clue. Maybe your ISP is blocking some ports used by icall?

thanx for all the post...my name is Jacob.i am from Singapore.i would like to know can i make free call from singapore to india??

Vinay said...

jacob,

did you try using gizmocall? try that. alternative you can ask your frds/family in india to use mediaringtalk. it allows free calls to singapore

raj said...

hi, with VOIPCHEAP, can we talk for 1 hour long? coz they disconnect the line after some time stating that your free minutes are over. so is there any bypass for that?. currently i keep on making multiple IDs to talk, and if phone cuts in between it is quite embarassing.
please provide me a solution where , i can keep only 1 id and talk unlimited only in USA.

Vinay said...

if you want to call usa, why dont you try icall or mediaring. since voipcheap isnt working for you through proxy, its better you do that

Gagan said...

Hi I tried using Icall but it does'nt works with avalid username/password. Also even on mediaringtalk ..."Insufficient credit message is shown though I signed today that is 16th March [Promotion Period.." I am in India
-Gagan

Vinay said...

gagan,

icall works perfectly alright for me. Mediaringtalk, has a limit of calls to be made for free within a day.

Always remember, its advisable not to abuse the system by making unlimited calls. They have to pay for it we get it free.

If they give us such offer, its our responsibility to ensure that the offer remains for long.

if we become co-operative, am sure more companies will offer such benefits.

jacob said...

dear vinay
sorry tell u that..i am a rookie in this field..so can u pls tell me how to make calls with gizmocall??..is that complete free??how long can we call...
sorry to disturb u for this..
pls help me

Vinay said...

jacob,

i had written a ste-by-step guide for using gizmocall. you can refer to those older post under archive. hope that helps.

Gagan said...

Hi Vinay

Can u let me know whether gizmocall (www.gizmocall.com) and gizmoproject{downloadable desktop version) are one and same or are these different coz I can make a 10 minutes/day call thru gizmocall but not thru gizmoproject. What is the best alternatiove to call US/UK ? While connecting to iCall
"Error while logging...." is shown .I tried this on 7 systems all connected thru Airtel Broadband
Also Mediaringtalk does'nt works for a single call thoough they are claiming free calls to 7-8 destinations . It says "Insufficient credit" incase I enter the number like 0044876876876" -Is there any other way to call? Thanks for the reply

Vinay said...

you are doing it all wrong. Read that tutorial all over again. Pay attention to each step. gizmo project and gizmo call are products of SIPPhone, a company run by micheal robertson, inventor of mp3.com

The hack says use your gizmo project id for gizmo call login. Not gizmo project login. Is that clear?

The number you are trying to call must be a mobile number in UK. Mediaring is offering only UK landline free calls.

UK number starting with 7 are mobile numbers. Number starting with 844 or 870 are premium numbers, both aren't free and can never be free coz they are premium toll numbers.

Vinay said...

anonmyous,

did you buy talk time from them? if yes don't try this hack. It might get deducted from your account later. Just a precaution.

try using mediaringtalk for uk (landline only) Uae currently no one providers free calls.

Vinay said...

Find free proxy here:
www.proxy4free.com/page1.html

Once you get a proxy from say Austrlia or Singapore

Just go to Internet Explorer-Tools-Internet Options-Connections-Lan Settings

The click on proxy serverAdvanced. Input the IP with Port then apply and ok. Restars the browser (not necessary but better)

Hi Vinay,

I would like to call Romania for free, but none of voipcheap, voipstunt, voipdiscount, voipbuster, internetcalls, poivy, freecall, lowratevoip offers this. Do you know one that has Romania for free?

for calling to india, you can use gizmocall and use my gizmocall hack that will help to add a few more minutes.

Vinay said...

ashi, if voipcheap doesnt work for you. You can use icall. You have to ask your parents to install icall on their pc and then they can call you unlimited times.

Vinay said...

if voipcheap has misused your money, please post on their forums. Make a proper case and ask for refund.

Vinay said...

To start with.."A Wonderful VOIP-guide blog I ever seen!!"

Hi Vinay,
Now I dont want to irritate you asking on how to make free calls to india though I'm desperately in need of it! :) I hope you are trying your best to find a possible solution for us.

Now all I want to ask you is that why you are not encouraging "Globe7"-VOIP Service provider? I hope you know all the in depth details about it.

It gives free minutes by watching their videos and with that free minutes we can even call to India. Now Iam watching their videos and earning free $$s.

Pls comment on this provider.

Vinay said...

globe7 is really cool but i get irritated by watching those videos..but yes for someone who enjoys it, globe7 is pretty cool. I will find good globe7 hack or workaround to make it easier to use. with globe7 you can make free calls to india.

Hello Vinay, nice work, really nice work mate.. soem strage problems when i tried setting the proxy in both IE and firefox (tools>options>(general options)>connection setting>(select) manual proxy configuration>set the ip of the proxy you have found and the port then `ok', `ok' relaunch firefox. No when i try to connect to www.google.com with firefox, it takes me to the american google (does not display any search results though).. whereas IE deverts back to www.google.co.in (Pffffft).. but then checking "whatsmyip.org" shows the IP that I have configured as through proxy (shows same for both firefox & ie).. I am stumped.. any feedbancs appreciated.. regards again..

hi vinay,

iam dinesh fromg germany..u r really doing a nice work..i had seen ur post for creating account in voicecheap using proxy but iam using VPN internet offered by my university.so if i change my proxy i could not access the internet.for the last two iam not able to create account in any voip application.so is there any idea to do so..help me thank you vinay...

Vinay said...

if you use VPN, then its very unlikely that the proxy will work. VPN is managed by your school network. Those settings filter any proxy you are trying to set since your school network must be using a private IP range. Try to download other applications and test which one works.

Vinay said...

siddhi, no one offers free calls within india, for the simple reason that its not free for them so they cant offer you free calls within india.

Vinay said...

you can use the zip phone in india. I am not very sure if its illegal. However be careful with mtnl or bsnl. i did hear some horror stories about vonage in india.
