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.

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.
