Default LowRateVoip Scam

I recently tried LowRateVoip. Firstly it is not Free as they
advertise, It says 5c connection fee and 1 Eurocent per minute A side
and B side when I try to connect.

WORST of all, any number I try to call (and yes!,I am using the
correct international format) is considered INVALID! So, the 10Euro I
paid is just sitting there and I can get NOTHING for it...........

No response from their customer care, so dont bother with this
scam.....

5c for webcalls, is true and normal...
1c for calls over 30 freedays or 200min per week, is true and normal...

I've never had a problem with any of this group's clone companies.

The two I use presently are [url]www.internetcalls.com[/url] & [url]www.voipcheap.com[/url]

I have saved an absolute fortune using them.

The webcalls feature does cost more than dialling using your own
equipment. it's not really hidden information that you seem to be
claiming was kept from you...

Many of us who post on this Newsgroup use Betamax clones, such as
LowRateVoip.
and in general people are well satisfied.

It is true that they don't do customer care, if you want that, go to Vonage
or BTBBV
but you will pay a lot more.

Give us some more details of what you are doing and we will try to help.
Start by telling us what you are using to make calls,
The Soft-Phone on the site?

Using 00441... or 00442 etc for UK calls, 001 for USA calls?

Many calls are free if using their software.

It sounds like you aren't using their system on your PC for that part of
the call, but using a webcallback system, where you enter your number
and their number, then this there is a connection charge for. This is
where it calls your phone first, then after a few seconds connects you
to the other caller.

If you were to use mic and speakers / headset on the PC for the first
part of the call and therefore only need to ring the destination it will
be cheaper. This is you don't use your phoneline, but use the internet
and your PC for the first part of the call.

You need to use 00 or + for the international pre-fix.

I've done a test call and it works fine.

I use one of their sister services as they offer longer freedays.

I'd offer you 5 euro for it, but I already subscribe to another supplier.

But I'm sure someone else here would make you a similar offer.
So that way you DO get something back.
