Hi Rahul

''Verification Failed
You have not entered the correct amount. Please make sure you have the right amount. You have only a total of three tries and after that, your Credit Card will be blocked from our System.
If this problem persists and you believe you entered the right amount, please contact Support''.

ReplyDeleteCan you please elaborate on this? What's that all about? I want to make sure I don't miss anything.
Hi Ravi
ReplyDeletethey will charge you in AUS $ only. but your bank will convert it to your default currency. so you can get in touch with the bank to get the exact amount in AUS $ or you can contact pennytel live online support. they will tell you what amount you should enter after verifying few details......

ReplyDeleteI couldn't find any free softphone which supports g729/g723 codecs recommended by pennytel. Can u please share your xlite audio codec screenshot also!
ReplyDeleteHi Aks
ReplyDeleteyou can use the dialer which we have posted in our site and do setup like we have posted the screenshot. i am sure you wont require anything else, i am using same X-Lite dialer
Rahul
Thanks, it worked but voice quality was poor. Anyway, its cheap so i will still use it. And the call got disconnect after 60 mins (they might have put an upper limit in place). You may also want to include reliablecom.com in your blog. There minimum plan for calls to india is 2.9c/min, but on if you buy it on a Thursday, it is 1.9c/min. Another glitch is that they charge 4 minutes for each 3 minute call to india mobile :(
ReplyDeleteLet me ask again. :(
