    VOIP Discount (Betamax) is terrible to deal with. Ease of use and clarity are good. But they won't accept credit cards from the USA. I sent a bank wire transfer, which they claimed was never deposited to their account. I sent them proof my bank had wired the money correctly, and even verified that their bank (Commerzbank in Germany) had received the money and it was correctly deposited. Confronted with proof, VOIP Discount has stopped answering my emails. To me they are either incompetent, unethical, or thieves. I ended up losing my payment plus wire transfer and tracing fees. Why would I invest like this if I was trying to rip them off? I wouldn't. The ethical and wise (from a business standpoint) thing to do would have been for Voip Discount to say, "Gosh, must be a mistake somewhere, we'll credit you what you claimed you sent us, but that's the only time we'll do that." I will NEVER use Voip Discount again and don't recommend anyone else use it, unless you can be SURE your payment will be credited to you, not stolen from you. Based on my experience, they are dishonest, unethical, and fraudulent.

    You need to know how sip works, though VOIP Discount also have local numbers now.
    Having SIP is advantage for me - can setup my phone for to use it which is convenient.
    You may find slightly cheaper calls to the particular destination from other Betamax company, that's why only 4 stars. And they also removed Russia from free destination, leaving only two main cities there free. What a pity.
    As for the payments - you may try to get google voice. It's a free US number and it's capable of receiving ...

    I at first thought i was thrilled with voipdiscount (BETAMAX) but in order to pay (Add more credits to my account) you MUST own a CELL PHONE in order todo so otherwise you must use bank transfer or western union.

    If you mess up some how with the money transfer as another reviewer mentioned you lose your money and it's tough luck they refuse to refund you.

    The customer service is by far the WORST i've ever seen and i thought DELL was bad. They offer cheap service but if you need help or an eas ...

    VoipDiscount took my money

    I guess this is one way to finance their call rates.

    I registered to their site and transfered credit to a Thai bank account they instructed me to. I used the Internet bank to do the transfer. VoipDiscount promised that my credit will be increased automatically if I use a certain transaction reference id and so I did.

    They did not increase my credit even though I waited several weeks. I went to my bank and asked for a receipt, but the bank couldn't give me one becau ...

    I have been using VOIP Discount for 2 years and have nothing bad to say about it. The service works perfectly and I am able to make free calls to many places mainly using it for Canada to Japan. I highly recommend.

    Easy to setup my ip phone with voip discount, free 120 days to large number of countries after you have topped up your account by 10 euro's. Good call clarity as good as pstn. no voipin numbers for uk yet so we have to use another provider for this. when you topup using 10 euros you have to pay vat and admin charge on this and in total it cost £10.20 for 10 euros worth of calls and 120 free days.

    Both myself and my friend have used VOIP Discount extensively for over 18 months to replace our Virgin Media phone service. Another friend is also with them on my recommendation, were both saving a fortune. Also got reduced line rental on the Virgin phone service, £2 per month because we don't use it for outgoing calls and its cheaper to have 2 services than 1. www.voipdiscount.com
