Cheap Call To Singapore

The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) liberalised Voice-over-IP service in 2005 to move in tandem with the worldwide shift in business paradigm to deliver voice services using Internet Protocol. The liberalisation had since introduced keen competition among major Service Provider in Singapore, resulting in drastically low telephone cost for frequent travelers and among Singaporean staying or studying overseas. Unlimited telephone calls can now be made to your family, friends and relatives in Singapore while you are overseas.

All major Service Provider are now offering entire suite of Voice-over-IP, messaging and entertainment services for hard phone and soft phone. Unlimited number of calls can be made from an anywhere, anytime to your family, friends and relatives in Singapore at as low as $10 per month. Value added services such as Short Message Service (SMS) over IP, Internet Messaging (IM), Email Retrieval, Chat Service and many more are also available.

Though Voice-over-IP is able to deliver complete services for messaging, communication and entertainment seamlessly across mobile, PCs and other IP-capable devices with unprecedented value, there are still very few users for this service. Some cite voice quality and delay as the reason. However, the real fear among users is the technical complexity in integrating mobile and internet technology into a single hardware. However, once the configuration is done, there is always very little to be worried about as the usage will be the same as normal handphone.

Ben Chua of Japan-hiWays has been a user of Voice-over-IP service for many months. He highly recommends this service to students who has easy access to wireless access point. There are many low cost Wifi handphones in the market now and they are easy to configure. Selecting Wifi access point within range is just by pressing of a button. In his opinion, voice quality of Voice-over-IP is even better than GSM. He has been providing advices and configuration services on freelance basis and most his customers are extremely happy with this service.
