Can your nephew refer me? I want to avail of the same service as well. I call the Phillipines very often.

It is illegal to charge money for international phone service. This is why VOIP is not commercially available in the Philippines. If NTC finds out you are doing this, they can close you down!

hi there im angel from canada. my boyfriend is studying in the philippines and he’s living now in a dormnitory. there’s no internet and landline there. i can only reach him through his cellphone. is this service applicable to us?

Hello,

My boss sent me a Vonage equipment here in the phils and I couldnt seem to make it work. I am using SMARTBRO as my ISP and I was told that VOIP will not work with it bcoz its wireless broadband. Called Vonage but they said its fine but I have tried it and I am not able to find out what’s wrong. When my Smartbro was connected, they did not have a modem installed w/c from what I know is a requirement for the Vonage equipment to be attached on. I was told to buy a router so I can attach the equipment but others are telling me that I dont need to buy one. Im getting pretty desperate..PLEASE HELP!!!

We carry all of the UNLIMITED packages that you need for long distance calling to the Philippines.

We issue a CELL PHONE or bag phone to your recipient or loved one in the Philippines. We assign a US, Canadian, or any international number that we can get. You dial the assigned number, the cellphone in the Philippines will ring.

Plans start at $60 per month. Your recipient is MOBILE or not tied to the internet.

With adaptors, there is also an added internet cost. We also have adaptors if your recipient is not covered by the signals in the Philippines. We can issue it in the Philippines and provide support for it. You don’t have to ship it to the Philippines because we already have it there.

We have 24×7 support (except Philippine holidays) in the Philippines.

Maraming Salamat.

In reference the previous questions;
SmartBro and Vonage access, Yes it works fine, however you will have to have a broadband router, you can not just unplug from the PC and plug into the Vonage device, SmartBro registers the MAC address of the device plugged into it and if you change devices you have to go back through the smart portal to log in and re register the above mentioned MAC address (different on each item plugged into it, i.e lan card, broadband router, vonage device) the rouoter circumvents the issue.
Angels issue; Yes it can be done but if there is no internet access available then you might have to consider upgrading his cp to one of the nokias that support SIP protocols and internet calls ( N80 up, and E65 up), from there the cp would connect via 3g through smart/globe and register the phone with the vonage/packet8/voip.com switch in the states. But enjoy that scenario while it lasts, i am sure the greedy bas%$^&*(rds at smart and globe will eventually block the ports needed to use the service in an effort to pad there already padded puckets.
God I love this country but it could be so much better without the corruption and greed…lol

hi Sandy,

Two answers, depending on what you mean:

1.) connect the hardware in Japan to call the US unlimited — Yes, this can be done.

2.) connect the hardware in the Philippines to call Japan unlimited — No, that is not how the service works.

goodluck!

Vonage is suck!!! I’m one of the victim

hi. i just signed up for packet8 yesterday and watched the demo video as to how setup works on the site.

i have alot of questions that i hope can get answered. i am sending this phone to my boyfriend in the philippines because we usually spend more than 300/mos. on phone cards with very poor quality/line disruptions thus leading to wasted dinero.

here are my questions.

1. my boyfriend is staying at a dorm which already supplies an internet service that is included in the monthly rent. as far as i know, with packet8, all you need is a modem for the internet,the packet8 box and the LAN cable.you plug the LAN cable into the modem and packet8 box and disconnect the PC line and attach it to the box as well and voila–it works? anyway… what if the modem is not supplied? i’m not familiar on how internet works in the philippines.. so if the dorm includes internet service,does that mean that each room should have their own modem? and if not..what can i do to substitute for that? will a router be required?

2. it says that, when you finally plug-in the packet8 device, you would have to go on a certain site to activate it and for this you must acquire internet access and pass code from local service provider. i’m assuming that, it should be provided by the internet provider there? or should it be done here? because regarding from your blog, it says that you registered the device herE? not unless..you were reffering to “acquiring the local telephone number” here. so whose access pass code should be taken? mine here in the US or there’s in the philippines?

hope someone can get back to me regarding this and it will truly be appreciated!

so, how do i activate it? do i connect it over my own internet connection here in the U.S., and enter that activation code that is demonstrated on packet 8’s site and will require my local service’s access code/pass code?

because in the first place, i was just planning to send him the phone and not even deal with it myself here because i’m not familiar with all this technical stuff.

bear with me, i’m a noob at this =)

oh ok, so it is ok if i inquire with packet 8? because i thought that this kind of action was not suitable with them (sending the item to the philippines when it is under contract for U.S use) so i hesitated about asking them.

thanks anyway! =)
