Pco4Nri.com Pco 4 NRI offers 1 rupee call to India

We are always on the lookout to find the cheapest services to call the world and India is one of the prime calling destination for NRI. We found a new VOIP service which lets you call India for only Rs. 1

PCO4NRI.com is a cheap international call service specifically targeted towards Non resident indians living in USA. PCO4NRI really looks like an interesting calling service after you look at their tariff plans.

PCO4NRI offers 3 tariff plans, Lets look at their benefits and drawbacks.

1) The Value Plan: They say, if your calls tend to be short and sweet then this plan is perfect for you. Well most of us fall in this category. It will cost your around 0.02 cents to make a call to India using the value plan.

2) The traveler plan: Consider that you are travelling to USA on a business visit or just leisure, this might just be the plan for you. Keep it short and to the point. Cost is higher in this plan. Its about $0.049 to start with.

3) The Unlimited Conversation Plan: This is perhaps the best plan for us Indians considering we talk for hours with our families back home :-). Basically, once the call is connected you can talk as long as you want for only $0.40 cents to Landline and $0.65 cents to Mobile phones across India. Worthwhile only if you are going to talk for more than 35 minutes.

The only drawback I have faced in the past with the unlimited plans is, what if the line drops down. You are basically at a loss because the next call is charged again. This often happens with many VOIP Provider in the past. Lets hope PCO4NRI has enough bandwidth and call quality to support their unlimited plan.

Overall, PCO 4 NRI looks like a promising service worth a try. If you are currently using PCO4NRI, do write your reviews/comments/feedback.

TruPhone makes Apple iPad VOIP enabled Phone

Apple ipad has been received solid media attention since its public announcement. Ipad has already hit the apple stores and has received a fair share of positive and negative reviews.

Lot of people ask me, would you buy a Apple iPad? I am still not very confident about buying one for several reasons such as lack of camera (webcam), USB port. However, it seems for true VOIP fans like me, we have one positive reason to try Apple iPad.

The Truphone iPad application offers customers free calling to other Truphone and Google Talk users when connected over Wi-Fi, and international calling to mobile phones and landlines for as low as 5 cents a minute. Truphone also offers an unlimited calling plan and free voicemail.

It seems Apple would be able to sell more than 4 million ipads in 2010 and whoever gets the VOIP app to work Apple ipad is going to win over another gadget. It seems truphone has advantage over Fring and others. Expect a bunch of VOIP application providers releasing their app over the next few weeks.

The Apple ipad market is just heating up and it would be interesting how it shapes up in future.
