Free Unlimited international calls to India from Australia

In today’s world, there is so much competition in the market that one needs to work twenty four seven to make a place for them. In their zest to achieve the best, they sometimes have to leave their home and family and stay abroad for months. In such situations, it is natural one will feel homesick and only a call to their family can keep them in good spirits. However, one may get disappointed with the high rates for international calling that can create a hole in their pocket and hinder them from making frequent international calls.

Your call can reach any destination in the world

Technology has always brought people closer. There are a number of free services that allow you to make calls to India for free and one such service for people in Australia is TajPhone. This is one of the best services one can come across. The services allow you to make calls to more than 175 destinations all over the world.

Avail local charges without registration

The best part of the service is that you do not have to go through any kind of registration or account opening process. Neither any kind of subscription, software installation, or calling credits is required. You just have to call the access number 0424 215 500 and then follow the instructions in the prompt. When you do so, instead of being charged for the international call you are charged for a local call to the access number. However, it is advisable that one must check with their network provider about the call rates to the access number.

VOIP & SMS Calling Card

and one does not face any glitches or disturbances during the call. The company has developed a VOIP network that allows you to place internet calls from your mobile phone. One must not forget that this service cannot be used via computer or a soft phone. One is connected to the Taj Call’s Voice over IP International Gateway when they dial the access number. From there the call is made via internet just like other calling software. Once, the call reaches the desired destination it is again converted back to the local phone. One can also use the SMS calling card. You just need to send an SMS and receive a pin and the access number.

Taj Adaptor connects you all over the world

If one is in Australia and makes frequent calls to India then there is one more service for them that saves them from the pain of dialing the access number and following the entire procedure. You can apply for an Australia geographic number and just dial the desired number from your phone. However, to avail this feature one needs to have an internet connection back home i.e. the destination point. When one opens account a Taj adaptor is sent to the destination place and your number is sent via email. Back home, the Taj adaptor is connected to the broadband modem and telephone and that’s it. Now whenever one dials their local Australian number they are connected to the destination. If one is skeptical about the installation process then don’t be. The company ensures that a technical assistant reach the place to do so. The company is soon going to launch new service called Taj roaming and add new countries to their list. But with whatever available also, it’s one of the finest in the lot.
