MarqueDirecto.com is a VoIP service very similar to Rebtel. They provide a local US number for any international number. "Marque directo" is a Spanish word which means Direct dial, which is nothing but access number calling. Now just check how you can make up to 70 min free calls to India or upto 166 minutes free calls to other countries.
Since their rates are higher, we will focus more on free trial calls which will give you $5 credit, i.e. 60 minutes calls to INDIA or 33 minute free calling to Pakistan.
First Lets see how it works...
Exactly similar to Rebtel, You need to give the international number and they will give you a local US number for the same. Whenever you call to US local number, your call will be automatically connected to the international number you have provided.
Although they charge monthly setup fee for each number, but that doesn`t matter as you have to just make a trial of the service.
How to get free 5$ credit(69 min of free calling to INDIA)
STEP 1 :: Click on "Start my free Trial Page" button on MarqueDirecto.com
STEP 2 :: Provide valid information like mail, Email id
STEP 3 :: Provide Credit Card information (This is for verification purpose and to stop fraud trial accounts) They will not charge your card until your free trial is over. And you can cancel the service with just a click of a button in your "My Account" Menu.
Now,
Login with your account information, as per your given username and password, and now you can alot US number to any of your International number contact. Thats it, call that local US number and start talking.Its true that user has to pay his part of the local calls from his minutes, until unless you have unlimited minutes like few CDMA service in USA (cricket).
Final Words
This service is good for using trial minutes only, as they calling rates which they offer is around 3-4 times of regular calling rates. and also you need to pay number setup fee also.. So don`t go for there paid services. USE ONLY FREE TRIAL. I have confirmed from there customer care that you account will not be charges anything during the trial period and moreover there signup page is also a secured one. You can reach there customer care on Toll Free number +1 800 217 8207. At first they will talk in Spanish, But you can ask them to speak in English also.
Enjoy your Free minutes....

I think it's avery exciting offer i haven't used such services in the past but looking at the offers i feel i must try it out.
ReplyDeleteNo, thanks. Any company that insists on having my credit card number on the trumped-up excuse of "fraud prevention" is not getting my business! There are numerous other trial offers from VoIP companies that do not require this info. This is simply a way of them hoping we forget to cancel and then, start charging!
ReplyDeleteHave u tried this service? I wasnt able to make any calls
ReplyDeleteJust call the cust care... they are really helpfull.. Just speak in English////:)
ReplyDeletePlease do not use this service. They automatically recharge your account even before the trial period. Also, there call quality and customer service is very very bad.
ReplyDeleteJust registered. One important point for those who want to try: They are allowing you to register only one number (Destination number to call) as free trial user. So register the number the most you talk. Did not check the voice quality yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
One more update here...voice quality is not that good. PLUS MOST IMPORTANT....I intended to try the free $5 credit and if I like the quality, thought of going further. But, I made only one call of 5 mins...could not make another call after that...I think this is due to some technical problem..but the thing is they wait for you only first 5 days to try the free credit before auto recharging your account. My credit card is billed for $10. Called the customer care and asked to cancel the account and refund my money. The customer care rep said to send an email to support@marquedirecto.com....and takes 24 hours to process the request. I am sitting fingers crossed waiting for my refund...so be aware about the above catch....
ReplyDeleteThanks!
hey...I got my $10 back...very responsive customer care service.
ReplyDeleteI think this service is now shut down I was sure this would happen with the high prices they had, I would suggest local011.com at least the price for some countries is affordable when trying to make cheap international calls
