Geek News Central is proud to introduce AIM Call Out as a new sponsor here at the Geek News Central website and the Geek News Central Podcast.
I have been using this service now for a couple of weeks getting up to speed on it and here are the highlights of what I have found so far.
First What is it: AIM Call Out is a PC to Phone-to-Phone Service that offers some pretty awesome rates to over 200 countries. They also just reduced the calling rates in the past couple of days and the rates are even better.
How does it Work? Well it’s pay as you go calling, so you simply add a credit card to your account. No connection fees, you only pay the per minute rate for the place you’re calling There are three ways to make calls.
- Call using AIM – enter your friend’s phone number, grab your headset and get talking
- Call with your own phone – the Web Connect feature is right on your AIM Call Out dashboard. Enter your number, your friend’s number, hit “call” and both phones will ring connecting the call.
- Call with your SIP phone – now use your SIP softphone, IP phone, Telephone Adapter or VoIP WiFi phone to make AIM Call Out calls
I was not a 100% up to speed on how the SIP Phone feature worked so I asked the folks at AIM for some info on setting up a SIP Device with AIM call out, and they also provided me a list of devices they have detailed set up instructions for.
One feature that I can see that is needed is AIM Call In and they tell me that is a feature that is coming soon!
Notice: AIM Call in is a Paid Sponsor of Geek News Central and the Geek News Central Podcast. We encourage you to try out their product.
