MoIP: Truphone & ConnectMeAnywhere – I am not sure!

Hi there, just read this review and thought I should comment. Firstly we are very international in terms of our employees, we have Canada, Australia, the Bahamas, Vietnam, Korea and a few others all covered ;).

The difference between us and your standard calling card is that when you dial up an 0845 number, not only are you charged for calling that number, but you then have to input the next part of the destination you want to dial. With CMA you just dial one number and you are put through. So you save the access number in your phone. For instance, my dad lives in Vietnam. Now instead of saving his Vietnam number in my phone, I just save the new local number. Every time I call this local number I am immediately transfered to the person I want to call. No need to key in any identification pin numbers, no need to dial the second stage number I want to connect to. Once I register them, I can call this same number from my mobile, my home phone, my work phone or even my friends phones.

Now as to how we can compete, well I find most of our prices are in line with Skype and you don’t have to sit hunched over a PC, or wait until you get home to make a call. You can call us from any phone, no software required. If you can register and make a call, you can use CMA. Since our prices are in line with our competitors and our availability is much higher to the consumer. I think we are positioned nicely to compete.

One other note is that since we don’t use any local software and we use only high grade carriers for our calls, the quality is the best we can make it. Unlike some other cheaper providers we strongly believe that quality is key.

Thanks for the review and I hope that this has helped clarify a few of your points. We always love to hear from reviews, whether the review is good or bad. It all goes to make the service better and we are always listening.

Hi, Ryan

Thanks for your comments here. Maybe I am too picky on CMA at some points. But there is no offense here at all. In fact, I am a big fan of VoIP and also love the idea the CMA brought to us.

The 0845 access number is a bad example, you are right. In UK, the consumer will be charged by most of networks when calling that unless the phone is on O2 networks.However there is another example, calling through a IP card. Most of the IP cards will provide a 020**** access number, which means the consumers can call it by using their free minutes. And the price is quite low. It costs me 11.5pounds for the cards and I can get nearly 2000minutes to call china.

As for the new number assigned by CMA, i understand that this number can be easily stored as a contact in the phone and we dont really need remember the new number. The point I want to make here is that. Every time the consumer want to call a friend for the first time, do they have to login to the website and set up the number first? It just cannot convince me. Can we work a better idea on this. Say, can user just send a txt message with the text: Name + Number_to_call to CMA, then CMA will send a vCard back to the phone with assigned number. For example, when I need call my aute in China for the first time from UK, I just send a msg with the text ‘Aute 0086****’ which is her number. after a few seconds I will receive a vCard. Then I just store it and make the call. 😀

VoIP will for sure to be a dominating service in the future (3G, 4G). There are so many companies working on this. I really wish my review will help improve CMA to achieve its goal and attract more users.
