Disputes “SIP vs SKYPE” -> occupation is as meaningless as discussion of what is better than “Linux vs Windows”
I myself am a supporter of using SIP, as it allows “to respond more flexibly to changes in the surrounding world,” but today this is not about that ...
A skypeman friend calls me (naturally, the call falls on my home SIP handset) and says:
“I was stuck in the airport, there is free WiFi here ... and the money for SkypOut is over! Go pay at the terminal (cut out) - we’ll find ourselves ... "...
The prospect of going to an ATM for payment at late evening doesn’t really make me happy, to be honest even upset (well, I’m lazy to crawl out of the house - I’m watching football ...) ...
But a friend to throw, somehow wrong.
...
Call back dialogue:
- “Will you have enough 5 minutes to call a landline phone? ...”
-"Yes of course! When will you put money on SkypeOut? .. "
-"What for? Try it for free - you will not lose anything, you will listen to some advertising, but you will call where you need .. ”
- "Well, then, piss faster HOW ??"
- "
Dialing a free Skype number in the USA +18003733411 ... "
- "I have 0 in SkypeOut now!"
- "
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! Called up - you will hear an advertisement in response, after which you have to set one option with your voice. You tell him Free Call: if the lines are free, the system will offer to dial the call number, if everything is busy, then they will politely say to call later ... We dial the number in the format “Country Code-Phone Code”, that is, to call Moscow to the number 1111111, dial: 74951111111 "
- “Can I call friends in the States?”
- "No problem! The full list is where you can call if I want to text you off. ”
- “It's great, why didn’t you tell me about it before ...?”
- “Well, sorry, which of us use Skype or me? ..”
...
PS
The service is provided by an American company Free411.
Full list of available countries, see
here . You can call landline and mobile phones, as far as I understand from the descriptions not in all countries, calls to mobile are supported. A call to a mobile phone in the Russian Federation - EXACTLY passes (in other countries as useless - did not try).
Everyone who likes my post can positively add karma to me, because the last time I honestly did not understand why they sent me sharply to minus ... :) ...
