VoIP Cookbook: Connecting to PSTN and Cellular Using VoIP Discount
An alternative to registering your number to enum services such as e164.org or voiprakyat is to use a service called VoIP Discount (http://www.voipdiscount.com).
By buying a certain amount of credit, we can obtain a telephone number that can be reached by PSTN telephone using the numbers of other countries such as Czech Republic, French, German, Holland, Swiss and England. With this credit, you will be able to make relatively inexpensive calls to PSTN or cellular. The rates vary, depending on where you are and the countries from which the number you're attempting to call originates. For the rates, go to http://www.voipdiscount.com/en/rates.html
To use VoIPDiscount, you need to:
- make sure that your computer meets the requirements for using them
obtain VoIPDiscount software in http://www.voipdiscount.com/getfrommirror.php?file=voipdiscount&lang=en
- Install the software in your PC
- enter username and password if you use VoIPDiscount for the first time.
Once all these steps are completed, you will be able to dial any number the way you dial using your PSTN number, with country code, area code and telephone number.
