I see some interesting developments for free or cheap calls to and from Pakistan using Voice over Internet Protocol – i.e. Internet Telephony. This is in parallel to new services (Rebetel and FreeCallPlanet for instance) in US and Europe which allow international calls through mobile phones for the price of regular domestic calls. For a recap of Pakistan’s VOIP situation see my previous posts about free calls to Pakistan and Skype. Also see this post from KO for historical background.

I really hope that all the operators in this world don’t suppress the development of VOIP technology, as it is only a backward step. After all, we need to look back our main objective of having telecom tech in our ife, – to bring human being together!

They can try to enforce their monopoly all they want but its stupid to curtail development, specially in a country like ours where economic prosperity is more like a dream yet these bureaucrats like to shove expensive calling solutions down our throat.
I see these companies actually doing a crime towards the progress of our country, its time the woke up from their greed and thought what is best for Pakistan.

I am agree with Teeth Maestro, ON one side they are seeking to promote broadband culture in pakistan as reflected in Broadband policy 2004 from ministry of IT and on otherside they are playing in the hands of monoply carreires and blocking broadband culture in country … what a contradiction ?

GULF NEWS (2/10) reports that an official of Etisalat said that banning VoIP is a losing battle, and that the incumbent telecom operator in the United Arab Emirates is studying how it might offer the technology to consumers.

Actually I don’t agree with a few folks, there many VoIP providers out there which offer free calls just to build their customers. So what you can do is go and find a site who offers a few free minutes, make a call and then find an other site.
Here is a collection of many sites who offer free trial minutes : http://freeminutescall.com – give it a try
