Come abroad and first thing anyone would research about is a calling card back home. We all do that unless and until the stay abroad is of a short span. In my case, I was the lucky one having many friends around here in states. Most of them suggested me to use RelianceIndia Call though to use it one need to register on their website and then buy credit. My best bud did that job for me and here I was.. making calls to india at very cheap rates. Luckily I had reliance connection at home as well so calling was even cheaper.
This is how it works. Go to relianceindiacall.com. Register yourself with a valid billing address which matches with your debit/credit card’s biiling address alongwith a registered phone number. This can be your office number, home number or cell number. After this, you buy, say, 10 dollar worth of credit and your are done. All you have to do is call the toll free number 18663735426 and depending upon your settings while registering on the website, you can make a call. If you are using the same number as your registered phone number, then all it asks for is a Pin number. If you are using any other phone, then it asks for the registered phone number followed by Pin number.
One can get rid from entering this Pin number as well, if settings are done in online account. But, its safer to keep Pin number if the registered number is an office number, you know what I mean. Alo, its possible to register more than one (upto 3) phone numbers in yur online account. coming to call rates, its 7.9 cents per minute to any phone in india except reliance where it charges 7.3 cents per minute. Happy talking without any disturbance and noise :-)
