Make Free STD and ISD calls with Skype and Free411

February 3rd, 2010 by Naman Bagga | 4 Comments | Filed in General, MobiWorld, Tech Talk

Very often you come across tricks to make free calls and honestly, most of them don't work. I recently came across a trick that really works so it gets to feature on my blog. So here goes the trick to make free STD and ISD calls with Skype.

First of all, the only requirement is that you need to have Skype installed. If you don't have skype you can download and install it. Skype works on all platforms-Windows, Linux and Mac too.

What we are going to use in this trick is a service called Free411. Its actually a US based service with the toll free number- +1-800-FREE411 which is +1-800-3733411. Skype does not charge for calls made on toll free numbers so calling this number using Skype won't cost a penny. So here's what you have to do-

Dial +18003733411 on Skype and click on the call button to connect the call. I would suggest you to save this number in your Skype contacts for faster future access.

Screenshot Call Phones or Send SMS Make Free STD and ISD calls with Skype and Free411

Dial +18003733411 on Skype

The call will be answered by an IVRS system. You will have to bear a small ad before you reach the main menu. When prompted to select your option, say "Free Call". Now if their lines are not busy, you will get a 5 minute free call. You will be asked to dial the phone number to which you wish to make the call. Dial the full number including ISD code. For example prefix Indian mobile numbers with +91, UK numbers with +44 UAE numbers with +971 etc.

This service works well for me and usually I manage to connect to a free call within 5 to 10 minutes of trying to get a free line which is acceptable considering that this service is being used extensively in the US and also by people from all parts of the world. Leave a comment if you face any kind of difficulty or have any doubt about this service.

PS-The service I've mentioned here is a free service. Please use it judiciously and don't use it for making prank calls. Your idea of fun will might make this service unavailable for someone who needs it more than you do.

PPS-For all my friends who for some reason haven't added me on Skype yet and for those who intend to create a skype ID after reading this post, my ID is namanbagga.

Now compare mobiles at ConsumerMate

January 16th, 2010 by Naman Bagga | 2 Comments | Filed in MobiWorld, Reviews

Consumermate is a site that was launched by 9.9 media to help consumers compare products like Laptops, mobile phones etc. When I bought my laptop, ConsumerMate proved to be very useful to compare features and prices. Consumermate has been offering comparisons of laptops for quite some time now. It it indeed one of the best source to get good comparisons on Laptop price in India. Recently, ConsumerMate launched its Mobile phone section to offer comparisons on Mobile Handsets.

I recently bought a new phone, the Samsung Corby Pro B5310. ConsumerMate made my task a bit simpler. Gone are the days when the mobile phone market was dominated by Nokia. Many people still don't want to buy anything but Nokia but there's a large section of the population, primarily the youth who is looking for the best phone in the best price. There are so many other brands available these days. What exactly ConsumerMate does is that it shows you the various available options for your requirement. You can shortlist phones on basis of brand, say if you wish to buy a Sony Ericsson Mobile Phone, you can select the brand from the menu and view the results. The site also has an option to shortlist phones on the basis of price and mobile type or form factor.

ConsumerMate also provides the online store facility where you can buy the phone you want from your favorite online store like Indiatimes Shopping. There's also a very useful ASK US Section which enables customers to ask for a price for a particular model and 2 to 3 vendors in the city will contact them with the best price offers for the products selected or mentioned in the message. ConsumerMate is a very useful site as it allows users to get the best price for the product they wish to buy.
