In our previous posts we attempted to enlarge on the questions of registration at EvaPhone website as well as on what advantages it gives to the users. Nevertheless, we are often asked about the good reasons for registering at our website, considering that users can make free calls without the creation of a personal account. So, this post is devoted to the detailed description of the benefits given by registration. Here you are with the five answers to the question: where is the good of registering at EvaPhone?

1. You will be given the opportunity to talk to other EvaPhone subscribers for unlimited time using audio and video communications, as only the registered user is allowed to make calls in the framework of EvaPhone system. Fee-paying calls on cell and fixed-line phones can also be made only after registration as the account replenishment option is available only if you have your personal account at our website.

2. After registering in the system under your real name you will be able to find friends and talk to them using free IP communications and chat services. One of the benefits given by your personal account creation is that, by your name, you can be found by friends and relatives you had lost contact with.

3. At the registered user's disposal is also a notebook where telephone numbers of all your contacts are saved. Also, on personal account you can find a section "Call History” where the connection is indicated for each subscriber as well as information about how much money were charged off your account for this or that call.

4. Besides, the registered user can also enjoy the unique Click2Call service. This is a widget button that you can install at your website, blog, forum subscript or social media page just for free. On clicking this button in the browser window, any subscriber can connect with you by means of EvaPhone system through making a call to the phone number you indicated during setting (Both fixed-line or mobile phone – it depends on your own choice). The button is designated for free installation. The money from your account will be charged off only in case of call diverting through EvaPhone. Thus, the EvaPhone registered user becomes more open to different contacts.

5. Still, after registration, you will be able to make two free calls a day in any place of the world and to any type of the phones.

As you can see, only one of the above listed benefits is available to the unregistered user. A conclusion: all you have to do is just one small thing – to enter your details in the registration form.

IPT Security and Reliability

noreply@blogger.com (Evaphone) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:46:00 +0000

As long VoIP telephony exists, as long people supporting traditional communications services speak of the insecurity of communications and the exposure of data transferred through Internet channels. There is no doubt, of course, that a cheaper, and sometimes, even free IPT beats the common telephone communications in terms of popular appeal among the users. It means that many traditional communication services lose their market share. Considering all this, the argument about the insecurity of data network communication plays into the hands of those losing their competitive edge, i.e. the representatives of the traditional telephone communications companies. Still, unfortunately, their concerns are not completely unfounded as not all the IPT-operators are ready to take additional efforts to protect the corresponding data transmission channels.

In fact, there are certain risks but, most often, the respectful IPT-operators do themselves best to eliminate the risk of hazardous situations well in advance, much before beginning to provide the communications services to the subscribers. So, what are other probable risks when using IPT?

1. Intruders may hack password and spend all the money on your account.

One of the commonly used type of the hacker attack aims at stealing passwords from other users to use money from the subscribers’ personal accounts. At EvaPhone website all the users’ passwords are stored in the encrypted form, so they are beyond the reach of the outsiders, and their transfer to third parties is impossible.

EvaPhone service also secures your personal messages privacy and keeps the users’ personal details confidential. Only the information stored on open access may be available to other system subscribers.

2. Talk interception.

The risk of interception arises in case if data are networked in the unencrypted form, i.e. the packets are transferred in clear. In such a case, an intruder may not only overhear your talk, but to intercept the part of information, insert other content in it or save it as a media flow and then use it for his/her own ends: to transfer the data to the third parties, etc.

EvaPhone users are securely protected from such attacks and can communicate with each other never thinking of the ever probable information leakage as data networking in the EvaPhone system is performed using cryptographic ciphering.

3. Spam or, in terms of IPT, SPIT (Spam over Internet Telephony).

IPT spam technology is very much alike the calls on your home number when some unfamiliar people offer you different services you do not need. So, the IPT spam thread is as much probable as when using e-mail, fixed-line telephone or a typical instant messenger. In case of IPT, the spam problem is solved by means of applying special filters and capchas. So, as you can see, the SPIT devil is not so black as it is painted.

4. Viral attacks.

EvaPhone users can forget about viral attacks. To use our system, one does not have to download and install on the PC any distrustful software, as the users communicate in the Internet by means of browser. Therefore, the risk to catch up a deleterious virus is equal to the risk you are exposed to when visiting any other website.

EvaPhone Team appreciates its subscribers making communications as much secure as it is possible for all of you were always "In touch with The World”.

EvaPhone Fee-Paying Services

noreply@blogger.com (Evaphone) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:34:00 +0000

In the previous post we enlisted some of the EvaPhone benefits. In our previous posts we talked a lot about our numerous free services. Now it is time to discuss the EvaPhone fee-paying services, which are also important for our users, as well as about the methods of account replenishment and expenses monitoring procedures.

Except unlimited and free video and audio calls in the EvaPhone system as well as two free calls a day on any telephone number in any place of the world, the user can communicate with any cities and countries of the world at a quite reasonable price.

For example, the call to the fixed-line phone in Germany costs only 0.63 rubles per minute, including taxes. Besides, you can make calls on the typical home or work telephone number by means of IPT using your Internet browser without the necessity to install any additional software or devices. A call on a mobile phone number will cost approximately 6 rubles (to be more exact, 5.8447 rubles per minute at USD rate 30.7457). Just compare: a call from the fixed line phone in Saint-Petersburg on a telephone number in Germany by means of traditional telephone communications costs 7.65 rubles per minute, and a call on the mobile phone number – 15 rubles per minute.

You can look the corresponding price per minute in the special table.

By the way, the suggested directions are so numerous that you can easily call even, for example, in Burkina Faso.

The procedure of the account replenishment is very simple. You can do it by several common methods: using your credit/debit card, bank transfer, Moneybookers system (web-purse) or voucher.

Whichever method of the account replenishment you would choose, first of all you will have to indicate your direction (i.e. the country where your telephone number is registered) and enter the corresponding phone number as your contact information. Make sure to indicate your real telephone number as it will be used for your account authorization. Click "3" during the system callback and then follow further guidelines.

EvaPhone gives bonus to all new users: 10 per cent of the amount you place to your account for the first time you will get additionally on your account as a bonus, which you may spend calling your friends and relatives.

In the section “Payment History” you can check when and how much money you placed to your account at the EvaPhone service. And in the section “Call History” you can check how much money you spent making this or that call.

The additional service for those who wants to be always connected is a voicemail Click2Call button which you can install at your blog, forum, or your personal page on social media. The button itself, its installation and the voicemail service are free, but still it is available only when the balance of your account is positive: at that, the amount of money on your account is of no importance, and nothing will be charged off your account in case you use only voicemail. You will have to pay only for the call diverting.

If you have any questions concerning the methods of payment for EvaPhone services, you can conveniently ask them in comments. I will gladly answer you!

How to Make Free Calls

noreply@blogger.com (Evaphone) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 06:27:00 +0000

We are often asked what the main difference is between IP telephony and fixed-line or cell phone. First of all, they differ in average price per minute (APPM).

What Is IP Telephony?

noreply@blogger.com (Evaphone) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:14:00 +0000

Today international and long distance calls are quite costly. According to statistics, a considerable part of the budget of many individuals and companies is spent on telecommunication services.

IP telephony (IPT) is a highly advantageous way of telecommunication costs optimization.

IPT is a blend of telephone service and Internet protocol (IP). The mode of operation is very simple: the signals received from input device convert into data protocol packets, and then they are delivered to destination device. The signals are converted into a digital format and vice versa practically immediately that allows users to carry conversations in real-time mode.

Besides the phone you can use any other Internet-connected input device, for example, your PC equipped with microphone and speaker system.

Another IPT advantage is that there are practically no out-of-reach points for it: you can conveniently use IPT in any place of the world provided with Internet connection. There is even no need to install special program on your PC as you are welcome to use our accessible online service thanks to which IPT becomes much easier than e-mail postings.

IPT is a rapidly developing industry: not so long ago it was perceived as a technical innovation, but today it is widely accepted telecommunications tool, commonly used worldwide. IPT calls are much cheaper than the traditional telephone service. Besides, using IPT you can choose between absolutely free or reasonably priced fee-paying calls, the latter allowing bridging certain communication limitations.

We do our best to provide our clients with an easy, highly accessible and intuitive IPT service, allowing making reasonably priced calls despite the long distances.
