Do I need Internet at my home in Nepal? Who pays for the Internet to run the SIP phone in my home?

Hi,

If I need to have Internet at home, why would I pay $ to tringtel?

* I can get SIP device for less than $50 (your price) from ebay (or may be other reputed vendor)
* Can get a free US phone number for that SIP device in Nepal for FREE from ipkall.com
* Can call that US number-->SIP device from my cell or any phone to ring and talk at home.

If I use your service, I'll pay $10 x 12months + $50 for device = $170/first year and $120 afterwards

If I invest myself for the device, I'll pay $30 (ebay) = $30 for SEVERAL years!

This is just an example, there are A LOT OF other options at your price. Please correct me if I am wrong. I appreciate your idea, but it should be better than current options.

Dear __

If we had internet in Nepal we can setup  Magic jack for 40 and 20 for one year. Call any time two way as the load shading permits?
What is new ? Can you provide us info as you trying to convince to a person who has limited knowledge about it.
Advantages over magic jack?
I have lingo adopter and I can get unlimited incoming call and just 200 minutes free for 4.99 a month. And I can buy cable or dsl for 1000 a month?

Magic Jack needs computer to plug in and dial out.

Yes it is true you need computer to use magic jack. But what about nettalk? We dont need computer for it. Neither we need any SIP, VOIP stuffs that may be confusing for many others. Your device costs $50.00 for device. First payment will be $80 with 3 month subscription. But nettalk costs $70 for the device and a full year of unlimited service. Your service will cost us $120 per year but they provide the same service in $30 a year. So, I think nettalk is far more better than yours.

What is the total cost for the year ?  Can you give me the itemized list.
Where to contact you.
I mean do you have office in Nepal.

Cost breakdown:

what about your legal stand in Nepal. Are we allowed to use IP Phone commercially in Nepal. Can somebody put light on this? I guess they still have some kind of restriction on VOIP.

dude, the loadsheding was increased to 5 hrs/day. how the hell would you use the phone without electricity. the loadsheding hours would increase to 15 hrs per day in coming days. 

The following is the best solution that I know so far...

Setup a wifi internet connection at your home in nepal, get a Nokia phone or an iphone for your parents and install skype app in it. Teach them the  few extra clicks needed to make calls from skype. If you add $10 to their skype account they will be able to call any US/Canada numbers for few cents per minutes and trust me that $10 can last upto a year.

Now it is buy one get one free that will be 35 each and one year free. Next year 29.99.
I think if we deal directly will be cheaper.  Any body getting it? Let me share the cost with you.

I think it is cyber-moday sale.

Bhojpure01, check your email.

Only problem I have with the youtube video posted above is the fact that they fail to mention required dsl/cable internet.  Sort of like a false advertisement.  Or they just assumed that who ever are interested in their service already have internet connection back home.

Tringtel does give you anything new, Calls to SIP or US number forwarded to SIP device in Nepal (or wherever) are free and reliable. You only have to pay for device.

If you already have Gizmo5 account and DSL in Nepal, you can get a googlevoice number (free) -->gizmo-->skype (google the procedure to forward, it's too simple) and use the skype phone described in the thread below for free communication to Nepal. However, new gizmo5 registrations has been suspended since google took over it but for similar yet free procedure (with ring2skype.net) read sangam's summary in an earlier thread below.

Magicjack is easy to use.  You pay $40 for the
first year and $20 there after for per year.  Problem with it is that it
needs to be connected to a desktop or a laptop to use.  Which, by the
way, it not practical solution for Nepal.  

Like " _ "
suggested on his/her posts, you are better off buying a Skype phone and
use it along with ring2skype phone number.  I am trying to simplify on
what " _ " has mention on his/her posts.

1. register for Skype Id. 

2. sign up for a phone number @ ring2skype. (sign up for a phone number where you reside in, ie US number if you are in the US, UK number if you are in the UK)

3. buy a Skype phone (one that does not require a desktop/laptop to use. like Belkin desktop Skype phone) 

4. sign up for a ADSL line back home. 

5. get a UPS back up to run your router and Skype phone ( so that the phone is live even during the load shedding)

6. plug your Skype phone into router and power it up.

7. Now you can call Nepal using the US local number associated with that Skype ID. 

8.
To call US from Nepal, you need to buy credit from Skype.  (you can ask
your family members to give you a miss call if they want to talk to you
so that the Skype credit will almost never expire)

Your Costs:

ADSL
line in Nepal:  Rs. 900 per month for lowest bandwidth available plus
one time router and UPS back up costs ( I have no idea how much these
cost in Nepal)

Skype Desktop phone $80

SkypeOut phone credit $10

And be able to call home any time you want for free: Priceless  : =)

How much it will cost to set up DSL or cable modem in Nepal? The initial cost for set up and cost of equipment , can we buy one here or buy one in Nepal ( cost effectiveness ) and the monthly fees.
Thank you.

skype jindabaad for now atleast. but your offer is pretty good too. atleast for people without a computer and a webcam. as for my family we just have certain dates and times we have set to talk  so that fixes things and we dont have to wait, nepals load shedding is a big problem but so far so good
