Talkety, callback phone to phone

May 26th, 2006

Talkety is a new VoIP-based phone service which works in a fairly novel manner:

Talkety will connect any two phones, cellular or landline, by number. With ease and effectiveness, all one must do is type in his number, the number he wishes to dial, click “connect” and let Talkety do the rest.

The caller’s phone rings. By answering, the call is triggered, and the second phone rings at the other end, connecting the two individuals with clarity.

No software or hardware needed and rates are fairly competitive (e.g. 5 cents per minute Mexico-U.S. and 3 cents U.S.-France vs. zero and 2.5 for SkypeOut).

Some people have commented that you still need to pay your local phone service fee but that’s only an issue 1) if you live in a country/area where naked DSL is available or 2) you’re not using it mainly for long distance calls where the savings usually are greatest.
