| [VoiceStick] BETA test proposal for MyGlobalTalk Ok guys and girls..... Time to help me look good, help craft a new service, have meaningful input, a free account and free calls.
OK, the time is here. I have mention in some posts that I would at some point get involved with our in house project of www.myGlobalTalk.com
In a nut shell, it is a bridge for cell phones (could be used on home phones). It has a BETA download for 5.0 and 6.0 Windows based smart phones (5.0 needs an update to your phone)
For non Windows SMART phones there will soon be a JAVA, and Symbian client for download.
You can also use on standard cell phone but with some manual programing.
Proposal (Let me know what you think)
The DID will be unique for each sign up. (Great for Tmobile and such 
No cost for a DID. No other add on or monthly charges.
No hidden EXTRA charges
One billing - IE no seperate charges for inbound/outbound into the bridge.
No official support for hook up of an ATA, softphone, Asterisk or any other device, but it is currently open and probably will be excluded in the cut over to the new switch in 45 or so days.
Sign up will require a credit card to keep the HOGS form doing more then one account. Sign up will show a $10 deposit billing for calling funds, but we will issue a special beta code so that the charge will be voided BEFORE we would draft the account, but we will leave the $10 of funds for those that input the code I will give out later.
Or in other words the code will reverse the $10 charge and there will still be the $10 in there for beta usage.
I will then ask for users to IM me, or post problems that they see, improvements they desire, and so on.
Both USA and UK DID's will be available.
Comments???? Changes, what ever?

| Re: [VoiceStick] BETA test proposal for MyGlobalTalk Today, one cell per DID. With the new software, switch.... The design is for 5 different cell numbers.
Where the beta guys are going to get a work out is in the cut over. The web page will LOOK the same, but will have different API's, and the billing back end and switch are a major MAJOR change.
We will do the cut over on Myglobaltalk well ahead of voicestick.
For power users of the beta that give me quality feedback, I will have have funds for additional credits for them! | |

| Great! Just what it takes to get me to try MGT. I miss i2bridge as I need to use calling card on the road for international calls after my VS account became outbound only.
I was thinking about signing up with callwithus.com because they have a number to call (just like calling card) and their international rates are very competitive, no inbound charge as well. They also support ATA and sip inbound.
By the way, Bruce, you should take a look at callwithus.
Just finished Axvoice beta testing. This comes in nicely. | |

| Re: [VoiceStick] BETA test proposal for MyGlobalTalk Ya know Paul (CEO) thinks I am the smartest guy he has ever met. It is you folks that keep me on top of my game, and do all of my competitive shopping. I am just thrilled to know that I can do a little pay back to you all.
Will have the code TODAY and will publish it.
Cannot wait for your testing. I am going to flood them with thoughts and fixes you folks come up with. | |

| Ok - a couple of questions...
First, pardon my n00bn3ss, but what are the requirements of the phone? I understand the need for a Windows based OS and you will add to that but do I assume (I know the joke) that a data plan is also necessary? This is how the voip traffic is carried?
Second, don't cellular carriers usually forbid voip traffic over their data plans? I thought I saw a writeup of t-mobile was one who specifically forbid it.
Right now I have three phones I could use, depending on what the requirements are. One is ATT and a Treo 650 without a data plan. The second is a Blackberry on T-Mobile that has the blackberry plan and the third is a regular phone (i560, i570 or i580) on the Nextel network. That one I could use the internet services (web, etc..) if needed.
I looked at the website www.myGlobalTalk.com, and it looks pretty snazzy! I checked the rate to Tokyo and it is a little higher than what I pay now but if the option to use a cell phone to make the call is there, I would mind the fractional higher cost.
Bruce - keep up the great work over there. | |

| Re: [VoiceStick] BETA test proposal for MyGlobalTalk If you manually program your phone, any phone can use it. On the Automatic side the Application works today ONLY on Windows CE phones ver 5 (with upgrade) and ver 6.0
Other platforms are being developed now, and will be out very soon.
Hope that answers the question! | |

| Hi Bruce, my question is I have already a Voicestick account
(Unlimited Globa $24.95 plan).
1-I must re register my credit card which I use for my Voicestick account?
2- Do I get any discount for Myglobaltalk, because I am also a Voicestick customer? | |

Yes you will need to register fresh! This system of billing will be done on another platform, separate from VoiceStick. The current system currently shares many things, but as we go down the road it will make a full cut over to another system. So yes it needs a complete sign up.
No further discounts for being a VS customer. The beta does NOT depend on being a VS customer or not.
I will be posting the beta code in a new threat in a couple minutes. | |

1 edit | At some point, will we be able to have 1 master account to handle all the services we are no doubt going to sign up for ?
You Mr Bruce, could sell ice cubes to Eskimos 
PS, what is the manual coding we need to do for other cell phones, I have a Nokia 6086 and Razr to program | |

| Here are my observations so far. I have used the bridge to call UK and Nigeria. While I have had no problems connecting, and the call quality has been quite clear, I did notice that I am being charged for calls that did not complete. I have a lot of 1 minute charges for calls that just just rang. So, this si one thing that will need to be worked on. I also tried the Global Call Forwarding a number of times. Was also charged for calls that were not picked up.
I plan on downloading the Java application to my Treo 750 and try it out. I will report on my findings.

The application does not work on my windows Mobile version 5.0 (WM5) TREO 750. I get an error message saying " The application requires a newere version of microsoft.NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device" No big deal, I just won't use the application for now.
