Send a Voice Greeting to your Friends for FREE

                                            

                       Notifu is a website which I recently came across. Notifu is a web-based service that will enable you to send group messages in an instant manner, and know if they were received or not. I have used this to send voice New Year greetings to phones of all my friends in a click that to absolutely free of cost. It is similar to the voice sms launched by Airtel, Idea. Only difference is that here text we entered in the message box is converted into voice and the message is send. There is also options to Multi-Message a Group. You can quickly message to a group of people via...

• Email
• AIM
• Gtalk
• ICQ
• MSN IM
• Yahoo IM
• SMS
• Phone

             The sms and phone is chargeable to some destinations. To India - phone is free that is you can send free Voice Greetings to your friends and family. So next time do send a voice greeting to your dear ones and make them happy rather than an sms.

Call US for free from India

There are to options which I found to make absolutely free calls to US Mobile and land Phones.

1. iCall

The icall is having three options for making free calls to US.

1.For the desktop - It requires Windows XP or Vista, a headset or microphone, and a broadband Internet connection.

 

 

 

2.For the web - Make free phone calls from anywhere in the world with just a web browser.

 

 

3.For the iPhone - iCall supports the iPhone, iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch.

These all services are ad supported and you will have to hear a 10 – 20 sec of advertisement before the call.

For the Desktop version the free call can be done for about 5 minutes but for the web version the free call is only limited to 2 minutes.

 

2. Calling America

This a new site launched recently but the it is better than icall as Calling America is giving 15 minutes of free calls to US phones from any part of the world. They have only a web version at present and the main attraction is that if you sign up for free you will get unlimited calls to US!!!

 

 

So just try out both services and leave your feedbacks here!!!!
