Openweb launches free calls

Great to see this, but unfortunately for me I have to pass.

Internet Explorer, ActiveX and Windows. Not worth a free call.
 
I made a call to a US cellphone, and the quality was crystal clear. No delay also. Was definitely better than a normal telkom landline to US cell call!
Pity it only works in IE
 
Can someone test if this works with the Add on IE Tab 2 for firefox.

And can you also post the supported countries included, and whether mobile calls are included for those countries.
 
Herewith a list of countries you can call:

Albania

Australia
Austria

Bermuda

United States and the UK is included in the free calling list.

There's a scam here somewhere. Something that looks too good to be true almost certainly is. Even if Openweb itself thinks it's come up with a legal way to do this, it's quite likely that they are breaching one or other law or agreement to do so. There is simply no way that calls can be routed onto the Telkom network legally at no cost (or even a small cost that they can simply absorb). Has anyone tried calling a Neotel number from this service, to see if the scam works on Telkom only?

Oh crap man... you are so full of it. Even Skype ran free calls to landlines for several years (absorbing all costs) before they went with a paid subscription model. It is very common of new VOIP providers to absorb costs for their burn-in period. You have no idea of what you are talking about. Better shut it before you look like a fool... oh wait... too late.
 
It doesn't work??

EDIT: It doesn't work for me on IE8 but it works with Firefox and IETab 2.

Also, can I use it on my Nokia E-series phone?
