$10 (US) in international LD for Beta testers.

Voicestick, a VoIP company with a cellular "bridge" service (you dial your
own VoIP number from your cellphone and get a dial tone to dial
internationally at VoIP rates) is offering free beta accounts (with $10 of
LD credit) of their new "MyGlobalTalk" service. This service has US and UK
numbers.


Details can be found at this thread on the dslreports forum, where Bruce
Niklin, Voicestick's VP hangs out:

They are taking credit card numbers to limit the number of free accounts you
can sign up for (they had major abuse problems on a similar promo a year or
two ago) but if you any international calling, think of this as a free $10
LD card. They have software for WinMo phones that automates the dialing
process (the phone detects international numbers, intercepts the dialing
sequence and dials your access number first) but any phone can use the
account by dialing the access number manually and then the international
number. (Any frankly, the software is as buggy as all get out!)
Obviously you can program the whole sequence into your phone's memory
dialing.

Bruce says they need a couple hundred more testers so grab an account if you
can use it. Voicestick's a neat little outfit trying to find a niche in the
crowded VoIP world.

MORE BETA testers are needed.

Would prefer those that are NOT high tech. We are looking to see what kind
of support needs to be given per 100 users.
