    We are providing 3 virtual lines for calling to all the countries. Each line has a different call rate, success rate and voice quality. Line one offers the cheapest price, but low success rate, and line three guarantees the highest success rate.

    Unlike other internet phone call companies, they make one price list and let customers follow with... But, in case if they offer a high price, maybe you run away from even a try... and if they offer a low price, maybe the line is too bad to be connected with.

    We are giving the final decision to our customers. For example, some customer might select a cheap phone call to family members by line one. But when they are making a urgent calls, they will choose the other lines (As a comparison, you may choose taxi, mini bus, and big bus to downtown, they all can reach the destination, the difference is speed and ).

    Price is not the only reason. The lines are usually provided by different carrier, some times, if one of them system down or something, you can still get chance to be connected by dial through another line.

    To choice which line you want to use, dial 01/02/03 before the country code to select the lines.

  • What it means, when you say 'no stock risky'?  (Back To Index)

    No stock risky means, you don't have to buy a lot calling cards in advance. All you need is one account & your credit card. You only keep some small or regular balance in your account, and you RECHARGE WHEN YOU NEED by credit card. For example, some customer want to buy calling card, then you pay by credit card to purchase some air time, and create one calling card to him. Then you collect money from him. So, for you there is no stock risky.

    A lot of companies will request a big fund or purchase or guarantee before you become reseller or agent.. But please remember a very basic fact in calling card market, that is 'Calling card is nothing but numbers'. They only become valuable when the call has been actually connected, otherwise they are just paper. So, never put yourselves in a risky to play a big purchase (unless it's world wide brand, like skype).

    Purchase when you need always!

    If (E) purchase 1USD online, (E|D|C|B|A) will all get 1Ps.

    There is 2 methods you can do business with this ip phone.

    A. Method one: people comes to you, make phone call, you check billing, charge him xyz money. So, it's call & pay. But since they are your neighbor, maybe it's difficult for you to do this. Because people think the price decide by you, you will have very good profit on doing this business.

    B. Method two: access your account management, create calling cards to your neighborhoods, for example, 5USD cards, you pass the card numbers to your neighbors (collect money of course), they come to your ip phone, dial "DestinationNumber + * + CardNumber", then they can make calls, for example, if the card number is 1111, and you want to call 00919822222, so you need dial 00919822222*1111. This way much better for you, because they are being charged by system, not by you, so usually people will think the rate is more reasonable.

It's hard to say line 3 must clear than line 1, but basically, line 3 has higher answer rate and higher quality in average.
