Overview


iCall, Inc. is a telecommunications provider of free, and low-cost, domestic and international VoIP services for both businesses and consumers.

iCall separates itself from competitors, such as Skype, by offering truly free VoIP calls from PC to phone and from phone to PC.

In September 2006, iCall joined the corporate calling market offering wholesale carrier services. iCall's Business Services Division offers a low-cost suite of SIP and IAX termination and origination products, with an unprecedented instant activation and a unique API.


Business Solutions


The Business Services Division of iCall offers the corporate calling market a low-cost suite of SIP and IAX termination and origination products.

iCall offers businesses:

  • Instant account signup to facilitate instant start-up of service,
  • An advanced API allowing businesses to check account balance, add phone numbers, view usage, etc…,
  • Quick provisioning of new incoming numbers as the business needs them,
  • True carrier grade services through direct connections with Tier 1 carriers.


Consumer Solutions


iCall utilizes technology which allows consumers to connect their existing Internet connection, (cable, dial-up, DSL, or wireless) directly in to the regular phone network. This technology allows consumers to call any phone number in the world from their PC. It also allows anyone in the world to call them on their computer from their phone by utilizing local access numbers and extensions.

iCall currently offers two versions of its free calling software, iCall Basic and iCall Pro. Both products are compatible with Windows 98, 2000, XP and Vista.

iCall is in development stages of versions of its software which will work on the Windows Mobile/Pocket PC operating system, as well as a version of Macintosh computers. They are also developing a version of iCall which will run on the Apple iPhone. However, due to the AT&T/Cingular EDGE network used by Apple, iCall will only be usable when on a WIFI network in the USA.

333Nice Connection BUT .......................

by gregshap, Friday 21 of March, 2008 [04:25:26 UTC]
Its just a guy with a server at THEPLANET.com, it must be a sideline because he could make some money if he would just pay attention to his clients.
I haven't been verified either although now I wonder who I sent my personal information to? Don't ever let your clients block their caller ID because you will be charged 40 cents per minute for that call. It must be how he makes more money by raping you with that stupid clause that you must send caller ID. I thought that was why we use Asterisk, for all its features including not sending an ID when you don't feel like it. Oh Well, I have now tried 14 different carriers and haven't found one worth a flip or that stays in business more than a few months.
hmmmm. Where to go now???

333non responsive

by deluzion, Wednesday 16 of January, 2008 [14:00:53 UTC]
This is apparently one guy who spends all his time on the major clients as I cannot get a response. I sent in my verification form two weeks ago, still unverified. I asked about the "BlendRates" a month ago, wanted to know if 100% intrastate would disqualify me from the blend rate, still unanswered. I also wanted to know if numbers could be ported in, I guess not. I suppose I'll pay an extra $3/mo to go with ipcomms.net as they've answered my questions with lightning speed and I have been using their free DID for a month.

333At least you can get Verified

by tonyufn, Friday 28 of December, 2007 [18:36:15 UTC]
They require a verification procedure. Until you are verified, you are limited as to the amount you can fund your account.
I'm trying to switch providers, and have registered and sent required verification information about a month ago.

Guess what? Nope, still not marked as verified.

Heeelllooooo.... Anyone there???

333Also with carriers.icall.com

by kganders, Friday 19 of October, 2007 [08:04:38 UTC]
I too agree that the call quality has been very good, however support has been very unresponsive. I've called twice and gotten voicemail immediately. I've opened 4 tickets, two of which have been in there for atleast 5 days without a response. The other two I put in as High Priority since 1 is a bug with their API and the other was a billing issue. I received responses on the last two tickets.

Bug: When using the API method service.getRateCenters and later using service.checkRateCenter to find DIDs in that ratecenter, the information returned is incorrect.

This is because the <ratecenter> returned in service.getRateCenters is not unique.

For example:
service.getRateCenters for IN returns:

<ratecenter city="Bloomfield" state="IN" county="Greene">BLOOMFIELD</ratecenter>

But if you run service.checkRateCenter for the ratecenter BLOOMFIELD you get the NPA-NXX 973-415 returned, which is Bloomfield, NJ (not IN).

333carriers.icall.com aka termination.com

by gsupp, Friday 29 of June, 2007 [17:05:31 UTC]
I have been using carriers.icall.com aka termination.com for SIP termination for about 2 months now and run through 1600 minutes. Their support is helpful and responsive, answering tickets within hours for the two times I have contacted them. Call quality has been very good. My only gripe is you have to watch the termination rates. While most destinations in the US are less than 1 cent, there are a few that are around 10 cents a minute. Other than that, my experience with carriers.icall.com / termination.com has been very positive and I would recommend them to others looking for quality termination service.

333Sip termination

by joecanadian, Wednesday 27 of December, 2006 [17:38:24 UTC]
Anyone figured out how to run it as a outbound with SIP using asterisk or anything..

I might start playing with it soon? Free outbound is good.. lol maybe they will offer in the future a low flat rate yearly supscription for unlimited..

Or will they get bombed by a bunch of greedy people.. and go under cause of a bad buisness plan..


We will watch and see.. I definatly seen sip termination mentioned ..
