DISQUS

S Partzsch · 1 year ago

Have you actually tried MediaRing MobileVoIP service? I had a chance to meet up with them during their official launch at CommunicAsia 2008. Making an internet call via the service is just like making a regular call. Voice quality is good. And the service works on 3G too.

There's no subscription and no contract. So really, the service doesn't tied one down.

The company is an established one with over 300 employees and have been profitable for last few years. Not unlike small set-ups claiming to market leaders.

I just check out Mediaring Mobile VoIP website and to the contrary, Nokia N95 is supported and so is the newer Nokia E71, which based on the various reviews, will be launched early next month. The E71 looks sleek .. hmm .. maybe I should get one when it's out :-D

I've tried the service out yesterday with another friend using N95 (I'm using E51) and we are able to make free calls to one another. So I believe it's not true that you can make free calls to one another "if you are using the same client" as what you mentioned.

Whether you are using Truphone or other sevices, they will also advise the user to check the phone's firmware before signing up. That said, the perogative is of course on the user and most users will conveniently skip that. I for one, did not check but my E51 works fine with the factory installed firmware out of the box .. Well, again, being my lazy self :-P

Ok, gonna give this service a spin and see how it goes.

Hi Luca. I am sorry to hear that you are not impressed by MediaRing MobileVoIP ( www.mediaringmobile.com ). The product is well received so far. Do give it a try and i think you will find to have a high level of ease of use. Also, we did over a billion minutes in the last 12 months as a company, that give us good critical mass to direct terminate with most countries. It will means we have very competitive rate and quality. Our rate to India is 5 cents per minute. I think it is the most competitive rate in the market. we also have a PC client at www.mediaringtalk.com.

Hi Khaw, thanks for stopping by. I will definitely test it out very soon and write a comprehensive review. My comments, right now, are based on what I got from your website and, at this time, it's really far from what other players are offering already.
I'll try it out very soon and post an update here too.
Thanks you, Luca

Hi Luca. Thanks. I will like to keep in touch. In which country are you based. I do travel to the US and Europe, perhaps we could meet sometimes in the future to chat and exchange idea.

Luca, Vinay here from VOIP Guide. Mediaring is a leading co in singapore and their voice quality is great. 10 free mins each call to over 8 countries is a good offer. I use them all the time :-)
