I’m quite excited to try out the much anticipated iCTel voice-over-IP cellphone software that has now been released in South Africa which allows cheap or free calls to other members and normal phones.
I’m still quite interrested to see how I can save and even make a whole lot of extra money simply by using and referring a telecom system in SA.
Best of all is that now with the SMS registration fixed someone doesn’t even need a computer to install it! iCTel cellphone software can simply be downloaded to your phone (thousands of phones are compatible)
You still have to register to download the ictel software
How to install it on your phone:
Visit wap.ictel.co.za on your Mobile / cellphone
Read my post further down to setup your Vodacom, MTN, cellC or Virgin Mobile 3G settings to allow you to easily download icTel software after registration directly to your phone.
Download ictel directly from your phone: visit wap.ictel.co.za
All registered iCTel members can now visit wap.ictel.co.za and download the software really easily DIRECTLY from your phone. No Computer required. Whohoo!
It also seems to work on thousands of phones.
You can purchase icTel airtime which allows Internet phone calls from your phone at really good rates I have found.
Additionally icTel has also launched additional services which will definitely cut your phone bill in half!
Briefly here are some of the developments:
The call back service is structured for members to save money on communication using any phone
You call to a local cell phone number and punch in your international destination of 52 countries to call without the need to buy airtime by iCTel (pay only the cell phone cost)
You can now call from any phone to international destinations by calling with your free minutes. Call from Telkom or cellphone to a local landline and pay only for your discounted international part of the call.
iCAirtime can be used on all the products iCCallBack, iCCallVia and iCCoIP.
You need iCAirtime before you can make calls through iCTel unless you are calling to other iCTel members using your iCCoIP software and they too are using iCCoIP software.
Your subscription of R2.60 is deducted from your iCAirtime daily so that you do not need to pay other accounts.
NOTE: There is no fee during free period (May 2008 to end of August 2008) which could probably be extended after that.
Heres the link where you can join iCTel
If you have a WiFi enabled cellphone you could call for FREE wherever you have access to a wireless network.
