Raketu offers free calls to 40 countries

Looks like the summer slump is over and VOIP Providers are back in action with some great free voip calling offers. Raketu, a known VOIP provider is now offering a great offer for making free calls to over 40 destinations.

Raketu is a VOIP provider with a little twist. They not just offer VOIP calling services but also do range of other stuff including IPTV and their softphone is more of a information center rather than a pure VOIP softphone client. Raketu tried marketing their services with a bundled softphone with IPTV, which did well for them. They are now primarily eyeing the frustrated post-skype mortem customers :-)

Effective from 20th Aug (We got the news today), any Raketu user who makes a payment of $9.95 or $24.95 is eligible for: Up to 1200 minutes per month free calling to locations in 40 countries for 3 months from the day you pay. This is purely limited to Rakout services and not Rakweb, which is their web based alternative. This means if you are going to use this service then ensure that you only use Raketu softphone to make calls.

3 months free calling with 1200 minutes (each month for 3 months) for $9.95 sounds good. Over and above, Raketu will charge you at normal rate. The locations in 40 countries are: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea South, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, US Virgin Islands, Vatican City State, Venezuela

Furthermore, Raketu has slashed their calling rates for India and now offering calls at 0.06 USD (6 cents per minute).

Tips for Calling with Raketu:

Many providers ask to dial number starting from country code, however for raketu you need to dial 011+(country code)+(city code)+(phone number)format.

We never tested Raketu personally, however they have a good reputation in the market. Before someone asks a question, they are not affiliated with Betamax.

Happy Calling and yeah go register at Raketu.
