Call For Free.

Well, instead of reading the article, I last mentioned, I got diverted. This is what I tried doing, I set up a website www.iCallWorldFree.com. This was supposed to let people call for free and run based on their donations and income from advertising before calls. Imagine, I was so excited that I had even purchased the website. And then, I talked to one of my friends, to get his reaction on it. :( Though his reaction was positive and encouraging, I got some hints, which I thought were not so good. So, people, back to the article.

Here's a page from the website that I had launched. (I was not done yet)

Here's the plan:

Call almost anywhere in the world for FREE, that too from your phone. One time registration fee $2. Initial system will only support calls from USA to a list of countries. (India included). People outside USA can still call by using one of the many free applications like Yahoo Messenger to call a USA number and then anywhere in the world through http://www.iCallWorldFree.com. (Please review terms and conditions of any such service). Another alternative for people not in USA could be to order a softphone either locally or through us and we will give you a US number for just $2 (one time fee). This will allow you to receive calls too. You will need an internet connection (not computer) to setup a softphone.

Does that mean I can make long distance calls for FREE? Yes sir, absolutely free. No setup costs, No per minute charges, free and UNLIMITED. Only $2 activation fee for each incoming or outgoing number. Just call the access number we provide to dial the destination number and you are done. No pins, and no punching too many keys. So, what is the catch? Read on.

You make your own plan, DONATE as much as you like and talk as much as you like. You calculate how much this system can reduce your call charges by, and donate us that money for a better cause. A large portion of profit will be donated for the needful. Isn't that just great?A short advertisement may be played before connecting the call, for some users.

Donations will be made on sole discretion of the company to any organisation that the company chooses.

To honor and encourage donations, we will include a page showing how much each person/company donated, for those interested to be listed. And how much of it was donated.

Expected Launch Date: October 1st, 2010.

P.S. I will post here when we have started accepting donations, until then please feel free to leave comments and reviews.
