Pennytel - lower IDD rates

We're trying Pennytel (www.pennytel.com) as our main VoIP SIP provider for IDD calls, instead of Pfingo because the Pennytel rates are darn cheap:

1. *untimed* calls are 10 Singapore cents (about 6 US cents) to USA, and landlines in Australia and UK. There is also a timed plan and the per minute rates are also low.

2. calls to India are charged at 2.4 Singapore cents per minute, 60% cheaper than Pfingo

3. timed calls are billed per second, not per minute as for most other voip providers I have stumbled across

4. no fixed subscription, and no expiry of credit

5. overseas registration is no problem providing you have a credit card that will be authenticated

Hopefully the IDD audio quality and call reliability with Pennytel are as good as Pfingo...

  1. PennyTel has continued to be our main VoIP provider. I've used them to make calls in US, UK, France as well as Singapore and the service and voice call quality is fine. Great value service.

  2. Couple of more comments
    - we still use Pfingo as a backup
    - PennyTel says its rates are per second, but to India they are charged per minute. Not much of an issue as the prices are so reasonable.
