Yak4ever return with Free Calling Worldwide

I posted about allfreecalls.net sudden shutdown back in Feb 06. Although, it was temporary it turned out to be for a longer period. We definately missed a great free calls service, although not really a VOIP service but allfreecalls.net was based on the "minute stealer" concept like rest of the Iowa providers. It was all washed out after AT & T decided to run after all Iowa providers. Case is still pending.

However, that didn't stop Fellow VOIP Blogger and Friend Pat Phelan from launching another clone of allfreecalls.net. He changed the name to Yak4ever.com. This is almost similar to allfreecalls.net however it now requires you to register your number and 10 overseas numbers you want to call. They will sent you an email with the access number and extensions. This will be very similar to Jaduka VOIP solution, i posted the other day.

Don't get over excited or nervous if you can't use the service right-away, coz Your account will be ready to use in 24 hours. In a hurry, i sent email to Pat complaining about that as a bug. Funny me :-)

Now you must be wondering if this service is only for USA residence? Technically YES. However, you know VOIPGuide will never let our readers down. VOIP Guide has found a hack with is very similar to the all famous allfreecalls.net hack.

Lets do this step-wise:

1) Get a Free USA number

2) Now register at yak4ever
Use the USA number you just got and of course follow the instruction to enter your friend's number. Don't add + or 00, just type countrycode+areacode+phone number. For e.g: 912225123222

3) Check your inbox, you should get a gateway number to dial and list of extensions for each party number.

4) Start icall and dial the gateway number. At prompt, dial #extension number and your call will be received by your friend. You are connected! Talk forever as long as you want.

----------------------------------------------Update-------------------------------------
I have received an email from Pat Phelan, CEO of yak4ever.com, that they had a issue with their access system and they forgot to tell everyone that after dialing extension, you also need to dial #. Remember this next time.

Pat also dropped a interesting comments to this post. He says,

"I am not sure if the hack will work with our system. you dial your access number. you enter your extension number, take press 1 as an example, you then press the pound key#"

He claims that the system will only work if your provider is transmitting DTMF tones.

He didn't forget to thank me, said "Many thanks for the mention and keep up the good work."

Interestingly there are some website who can fake DTMF tones, i wonder if that leads us to something. Although, till now my number is not yet activated or maybe i am not able to use it coz of those DTMF tones. I will wait till tomorrow and give a update.

Have fun calling the world for FREE!
