As the telecommunication industry is moving towards a more regulated and matured phase, TRAI is loosening its grip on the rates and started to offer must flexible rating structure. We have seen many pro-customer announcement recently by TRAI (Telecom regulatory authority of India).
You will find many alternatives on this blog to make free calls to India but the offers are limited or sometimes offer a few minutes. However its more than worth it to make free call to india everyday for about 10-20 minutes. Frankly, I dont mind using those services. However, all those companies offering such schemes are either making up from other paid services or buying bulk minutes or are in deep pockets. This game won't last for long. To be very frank, it's hard to run business in deep pockets and especially when it's widely used by consumers all over the world and costing you millions of dollars every year. So these free calling packages to India are limited and will not last for long. However there is surely a hope that these might be extended or offer cheaper rates soon.
You must be wondering why? This recent news triggered off this optimism. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, or Trai has slashed ADC rates, which will result in redcution of the total burden that the telecom operators have to pay to BSNL, which will save about Rs.1200 crore for these operators and on top of it ILD (international long distance) ADC cost will be cheaper at Rs.1.00 instead of Rs.1.60. This will mean some relief for private operators and in turn VOIP/Telecom companies trying to use the BSNL network for termination or intiating a call.
The hope for a FREE VOIP INDIA continues.....
