Hi all,

I am visiting Europe and need a VOIP system, that gives me an Australian number I can call other Australian numbers from.

I looked at Teams, and they bundle with Telstra (Australian local provider), but the cost is high, and the checklist / setup list MS sent me was something that you'd almost need a certificate in infrastructure just to setup. They are living in a dreamland.

I then tried a company called Krispcall. It's IDEAL in every situation, except a bit pricey, and it just Does. Not. Work. Firefox, Android, Chrome, etc. Fail after fail after fail. What a shame, it looked so good.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd really appreciate a nod in a proven directly.

Another called Callhippo caught my eye. I'm just not sure, after being burned by Krispcall.

UPDATE! Solved!

I can use WiFi calling on my normal phone, and it's used as though it's in Australia, incurring no extra costs. How easy is that!

FreeVoipDeal is super cheap, allows you to use an already existing own number and can be used with any client that supports the SIP protocol.

FeeeVoipDeal is super cheap

With "Free" in the name, I should hope so.

It's not free but if you charge your account with 10€ you get 100 days of flatrate for more or less all international landlines. After these 100 days or calls on mobile you pay 1-3 cents per minute.
