Recommended Posts

You guys think thats amazing? :laugh:

Europe 1, USA 0 ; )

That is nothing more than an offshoot of Voipbuzzer and the many other programs/sites that company has put out. If it's anything like the others they limit free calls to 1 minute and you have to buy like 5 euro worth of credit to get free calls.

Hrm maybe its detecting your IP wrong or something.

Try testing these sites:

http://www.ip2location.com/ (shows as USA)

hmm that could be it.. It doesn't show as US.. Still if PR is included it should work anyways. Probably is an ip issue that is affecting a lot of US isp's as well. What is you isp If I may ask? Just curious

I basically emailed back to find out how long they think it will take to get it fixed. If i was paying for the service i migt be a bit upset. but to be quite frank i am in awe of their customer service :woot: . their replies have been recieved in the shortest ammount of time I have ever experienced and i'll say again, im not paying a penny. Its a bit crap that its not working, but at least, on the surface they seem to want to keep up the customer relations.

I'll post back when i hear something

:yes: I agree, their Tech support seems fantastic, especially considering how overwhelmed with all the calls and emails they must be getting.

Well I woke up this morning and it was working. The CS rep said that they are also having problems with the ISP's themselves, trying to limit VOIP for bandwidth reasons.

If it still isnt working, i would encourage you to email their tech support. less than 12 hours later, and its fixed.

Yay, I just called my GF, who is in LA for the week, for free. YAY!

Like I said I am located in Toronto and my ISP is ****y bell

hi!

Iam not in US, any idea to call to US free by Skype?

Thanks

No, right now you cannot call the US from outside the US for free, and I know of no other way to do it. However, if this promotion works for them, I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen down the road.

In the first link I appear under the US but the second one shows me being in PR. I'm guessing that you're using Adelphia/Onelink? I'm on DMAX. I guess I'll try a proxy.

Side note: I think I remember seeing you on dsl libre.

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
