How to make free calls to US and Canada


I have not been able to blog lately because of a very tight schedule. I got sick for almost a week, I guess its because of fatigue. And then I had some things came up unexpectedly. I hope this will get resolved soon.

I also created my online portfolio which you can view anytime. Here's the screenshot and link to my portfolio:



Anyway, before I end the month of August, I want to share a simple trick on how to get your US phone number, make free outgoing and incoming calls to US and Canada.

Procedure on how to make free calls to the US and Canada.
1. Get a VoIP registration, usually a SIP service. With SIP service, you can use your mobile phone with WIFI to receive incoming and make outgoing calls by installing apps. But that's another story.

2. Get a US DID number. This number will direct incoming calls to your SIP account.

3. Setup your Softphone.

Detailed Instructions



To get the detailed instructions, click the Read more button below.

1. Go to www.iptel.org and register for a SIP service.
2. Download x-lite and install it on your PC.
3. Follow the instructions on IPTEL's website on how to configure your X-Lite softphone.
4. Once you have registered with Iptel, you need to get your US phone number. There's a free DID number but it's located in Washington DC. You can get from IPKALL. Follow the registration process and they will email you with the approval along with your new US phone number.
5. Now that you have your US phone number you can receive incoming calls from your friends in the US and Canada for free. But if you want to make outgoing calls, you need to sign up with Google Voice.





6. Your US number from IPkall is important in registering for Google Voice. Google will call your US phone number and ask you to enter an activation code. Once its activated, you can now make outgoing and receive incoming calls for free.

If you're having problems activating your account, the DTMF tone might not be working on your x-lite softphone. To fix this, click here.

Giyera ba ang sagot sa kapayapaan? Para sakin? Hindi ko alam... Pero ang titulo ng aking obra ngayon ay bahagi lang ng totoong titulo ng aking painting. Isa ito sa mga artworks kong ilalabas sa mga susunod na araw. Mga painting na mag-iisip ka muna bago mo malaman ang tunay na kahulugan at tunay na title. Kung titignan mo ang painting sa taas, aakalain mong simple lang. Pero, simple nga lang ba ang obra kong ito? Subukan mong i-decode ang totoong title nito... "Army Dignify Airmen" Sasabihin mo pa kayang simple ang obra ko?

Broadband USB Modem Unlocker

Hmmm... See! My Globe Tattoo is showing 3G Smart Signal? hihihi! I'm inside IBM Plaza and it seems that Globe 3G cannot penetrate the 7th floor. Well, that's only my case. Not sure of the other IT guys here. Just like any cellphones, the Huawei USB modem can also be unlocked so you can use other sim cards. Globe Tattoo Broadband is the best in its class because it allows you to make phone calls aside from sending and receiving text messages. However, if you're stocked in an island (or building in my case) and there's no 3G signal, you wont be able to benefit the fast connection. To unlock your Huawei usb modem (any brand will do), you need to download 2 applications. The code calculator and the writer. 1. The Code Calculator can be downloaded here . Once you've downloaded the code calculator, click on the Huawei IMEI tab and type your IMEI and click CALC. You will see the flashing and unlocking code on the black box beside it. You will ONLY need the unlock

I haven't been able to blog or tweet lately. Not because I don't have enough time. I'm good at time management, that is. However, I want something that will enable me to do 3 task at the same time. Like being able to blog, tweet and post status in my Facebook . I found out about Tumblr. Its very simple and pretty. Its just my personal journal so I'm not expecting followers. lol...  I wish I can update my blog with Tumblr too or vice versa...
