RELEASE FreeRinger, the
Easiest Way to Make Free Long Distance and International Calls from Your
Computer GTalk2VoIP and
Talkster partner to offer web-based free calling LOS ANGELES,
Calif. —October 28, 2008— GTalk2VoIP, the free and publicly open voice gateway
for major Instant Messenger clients, today announced the availability of the
ultra-simple to use FreeRinger, powered by Talkster. FreeRinger (http://www.freeringer.biz/) is a web-based
telephone service that lets anyone, anywhere in the world place free
international calls from PC-to-phone to more than 35 countries. Now people
anywhere in the world can use their computers to place free long distance calls
to their family and friends’ mobile and landline phones in the more than 35 countries
included in Talkster’s growing coverage area (http://www.talkster.com/Countries.aspx).
All FreeRinger calls are ad-supported, so users never
pay long distance or international calling charges, and can talk as long as
they like. For call recipients using
their mobile or landline phones, the cost is the same as a local call. “Providing a
completely free web-based solution to people who spend a fortune in long
distance calls is just another way we are increasing the value of what we offer
to our customers,” said Ruslan Zalata, founder of GTalk2VoIP. “Our partnership
with Talkster has made this possible and we will
continue to work towards providing free, useful and easy to use solutions to
our valued users through the development of solutions such as FreeRinger.” FreeRinger is a web-based, Flash® application, therefore
no software download or installation is required as long as the web browser can
view content built in the commonly used Adobe Flash. For those users without Adobe
Flash, a simple download that works with all Internet browsers on PC, Mac and
Linux computers will immediately enable FreeRinger to
work. FreeRinger is also available as a widget that so bloggers and web designers can offer the FreeRinger long distance and international calling service
to their sites’ readers and customers. A
special hyperlink makes placing calls from FreeRinger
as simple as a click from a webpage. “FreeRinger is a perfect example of how Talkster’s
calling platform can be easily integrated to provide free voice communications
to online communities and instant messaging services,” said Talkster
CTO, Mark Gelman. “This ‘plug and call’ PC-to-phone
service is the first of its kind, allowing for free dialing without the need
for additional downloads, right from your web browser.” How to use FreeRinger from
your computer: Sign up for the
service by clicking on “Register,” then fill-in the form providing your real
e-mail address, which will be used later as your login name. Next, follow the
steps below to place a call. 1.
