M-Web Broadband Talk is limiting?

M-Web Broadband Talk is a similar service to iCTel but it does not allow you to use it over your mobile phone from what I can see, and you also need to buy additional hardware.

Have anyone else actually used MWeb Broadband Talk, as it sounds like it is also limited to MWeb subscribers only…

One good thing is that they refer their customers to download X-lite from Counterpath (this software is compatible with iCTel as well)

It looks like a better idea just to sign up for iCTel for free by visiting: www.ictel.co.za/42965 and enjoy the benefits when the service comes into full swing.

iCTel Desktop Softphone downloaded and Tested

May 2008

Let me show you how to get icTel running on your PC and Mobile Phone

If you don’t know yet icTel is now up and running and pre-launch customers can now get themselves a number and start calling the world…or thats the theory at least…

Today I downloaded the PC version of the icTel Softphone and icText.

Quite impressed actually. Screenshot of software on your PC

It comes pre-configured with the icTel login server details and the Voice-over-IP settings

All you have to do is login with the DEMO account or your purchased 270 number… and call any other icTel member for free, if you have some airtime you purchased from icTel you can call landlines for a fraction of the usual cost.

icText

The icText is a customization of a product called pidgen which I;’ve used for ages.

You can download it from the main icTel website or from http://www.ictel.co.za/42965

Best multi-account chat application around.

I will make another blog entry some time on how to customise this with al lyour different accounts, Yahoo, Skype, GoogleChat, .Mac if you’re lucky enough to have a Apple computer etc.

I also changed my Fring details on my phone (as I have had Fring installed for quite some time, before icTel partnered with them)

The voip details are quite easy and available on request.

The easiest way is to just download the icTel version of Fring with everything already setup for you.
