Today I discovered this great service gabcast. Gabcast is a podcasting/audioblogging service. As a audio publisher you can create channels that listeners can subscribe to via the website or via RSS. It also lets you publish podcasts to popular blogging services or your own hosted weblogs.
While podcasting isn’t new, this service is kind a special. Big difference is that you can post your audio by phone. Second big difference is that is provides several access numbers in several countries like the USA, Canada, UK, Holland. You can also call them via FreeWorldDialup or Gizmo/SIP.
I tried the service calling with my mobile phone to the access number in Holland. The sound quality is very good! The documentation is also very good and provides information setting up for several services including instructions for e.g. Asterisk and FreePBX.

Voipbuster, also known as the “free calls company”, has changed it credit policy. Until now, your credit would expire 120 days after you bought it. But now it will stay valid forever. While this may sound as great news, may be it isn’t. The same time they introduced the so called “Freedays”: 120 days of free calling to landlines and mobiles labeled “free” in the tariffs list. After 120 days, you’ll start paying for the countries that where free until now.
Also, free calling is limited to 300 minutes a week.
I guess the days of free calling are over. Lucky for us, there are always some alternatives like skype, gizmoproject and freeworlddialup.

I already wrote about the service gtalk2voip, a gateway that enables you to connect to any sip number from gtalk. Now this gateway has expanded its services so now you can call Windows Live Messenger as well. It works almost the same as connecting to a sip device, but now you enter the command ´CALL someone@msn.com’ or ‘CALL someone@hotmail.com’. MSN and Hotmail addresses are automatically recognized. Other addressed need to be prefixed by ‘msn:’ (like ‘CALL msn:someone@somethingelse.com’).

GTalk2VoIP is a website that provides a gateway to connect to SIP phones from within Gtalk. It works very easy! Just add service@gtalk2voip.com to your contact list and open a chat window. Than type ‘CALL <SIPADDRESS>” where <SIPADDRESS> is a valid sipaddres like 725756@fwd.pulver.com
Than the gateway sets up a connection to gtalk (phone is ringing) and to the sip device. When both parties answer, the connection is made and you can speak to each other!
Speech quality is pretty good, altough it would be nice if normal SIP is implemented in GTALK as well.

I have written on Web-activated Internet Telephony with Jajah in this post. Now it seems that Jajah is seeking a larger subscriber base by offering free calls to landlines and mobile phones in the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan and Singapore as well as many european countries (landlines only). This is said by the Financial Times.
