Thread: FuturePhone? International Calling

I ran into this looking at ABC News today.

For those folks who live in the US and have unlimited long distance(within US) this would be great for you.

Could be great if your learning Russian via a tutor across the globe.

Skype уже давно есть. Никто же не пользуется. Все стесняются мля. А вдруг я сделаю типа много ошибок и буду выглядеть смешным. Вот и ищут penpals.

LOL I dont know Russian yet, but I know Skype, and the last time I used Skype for tutoring, I could not understand a word the tutor said.
Did not seem that Skype was that stable.

i talk to my gf in moscow via skype all the time, quality is great - both on mobile and when she's online!

Well it works! I just called a friend in Australia on my cell phone with it.

I tried calling someone in Australia on their cell phone but could not get through. I'm not sure if that is because I did it wrong or the feature is not available.

Well, wait till you see the bill!

А много Skype жрет трафика?

Да не очень. Может даже на dial-up модеме работать, правда плохо. 128/128 точно будет достаточно.

An interesting undertaking but the number of cities is very limited. Plus, that won't last long. To understand that, consider the price of a VoIP call to Cuba $0.40 to $0.89/minute. Who will cover the cost? I doubt the advertising model... better open a radio station

When I used the number to call I was NOT sujected to any advertizing either!

ты кому позвонил?

I just tried 2 diffrent numbers, it didnt work.

I called a child hood friend on the Sunshine Coast. (SHE... has sailed about 80,000 miles around the globe) Wheew!

I called her land line and had no problems. But when I tried a cell phone number I could not figure out how to get through. I might have just dialed it wrong because cell phone numbers in Australia are weird numbers!

How was the quality of the call?

well, I tried it! The first few tries didn't go through, but the third try worked! I tried the same number, so I don't know why the first times it didn't work. The quality was impeccable! Everything was crisp and clear! I say use it while it lasts

I just called Germany using it. Call went right through, no commercials. Quality of the call was good (for free it's great). What's the catch?

So, is it possible to call mobile phones in other countries or not?

You will just have to dial the cell number yourself to find out. Every country has a different set-up for cell phones. I have dialed two different Australian cell numbers several times and so too has a friend here and we can't get through but that may only be because the agency that has a monopoly in the Australian telephone system are a bunch of money grabbing fukwitts!

and if it doesn't work the first time, try again!
