Los clones de VoipBuster II

Info by WolfnPaul from voipuser.org

Because I haven't seen it mentioned, and because it might throw an interesting light on their setup, and possibly future pricing plans:

VoipBuster is a service operated by Swiss telco Finarea SA,
which also operates call1899 and call18866. Here is a list of
other services they operate throughout Europe -- not sure if it is complete:

www.1031telekom.at (AT)
www.telediscount.at (AT)
www.billignet.at (AT)
www.1899.com (UK)
www.call18866.co.uk (UK)
www.voipbuster.com (UK)
www.telesoldes.com (FR)
www.telerabais.com (FR)
www.callcheap.be (BE)
www.directbellen.be (BE)
www.telediscount.nl (NL)
www.bel1649.nl (NL)
www.01071telecom.de (DE)
www.telediscount.de (DE)

These services are of two types: (a) call a shared-revenue number, priced according to where you want to call, and then dial your destination number. You will be billed by your normal phone provider, no pre-registration needed; and (b) register on their website and place calls by dialling an "equal access" prefix (i.e. 1899 in the UK); you will be charged a per-call charge of a few pence or cents, and then a per minute charge (which is optionally announced at the beginning of the call, and which to some destinations is 0).

I suspect that the VoipBuster service will end up with a charging system like (b) -- a couple of cents per call, and then either nil or a few cents per minute for destinations with a competitive telecom market, and more for monopoly-ridden destinations.

I have been using their Austrian 1031 service for the past eight months and have had absolutely no problem, neither technical nor billing-related, so I am confident that once VB enters production it will be a useful and reliable service.

Alberto,

Thank you for quoting my comments on VoipBuster and Finarea in your post, but normally one provides a source when quoting other people's work.

Regards,

Wolf Paul, Vienna, Austria
