It seems VOIP Companies are going one step ahead and extending their free calls offers to promote their services further. They are expecting that paid customers would pay off for free calls.
Mediaringtalk is one such company that extended their free calls offers to US, Canada, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Taiwan and Australia. They have further extended their offers till end of November.
So if you have someone in China, Do download MediaringTalk and make a quick 10 mins call. Why 10 mins? coz under their fair usage policy, each call is limited to 10 mins so people don't abuse the free calls offers. You can however call the same number again unlimited times. At the end of day, you get unlimited free calls with each 10 mins call limit.
Although, MediaringTalk uses SIP it seems we can't connect to their service from other SIP devices, SIP phones or SIP softphones.
A bit of investigation revealed, that mediaring has a SIP server. We could ping to their SIP server. Atleast, it seems they have one. We didnt test it, if you did let us know.

On the sidenote, if you want to Call someone in Hong Kong, you might want to try OwTalk. If you are calling someone in USA, Try Earthcaller. For the rest of the countries, mediaringtalk is still our prefered voip service.
Happy Calling the Dragon Nation!
