I have wondered if members of this forum are aware of the free local, national and international calls. Well, it is not practically free in the sense of; you will need to invest in some hardware and free software and maybe a VoIP provider. I know most people in Nigeria are aware of VoIP and it usage. There is this new system call HSDPA it is fast approaching and replacing 3G, GPRS, GSM and VoIP. Make sure when you buy a new mobile phone or laptop or PDA that is comes with HSDPA protocol. The real difference with HSDPA and the rest is that its data rate baud is higher than VoIP, GSM, GPRS and 3G. I think it is between 8/10Mbit/s for WCDMA on a downlink over a 5MHz bandwidth, it is very fast. I use a Nokia N95 with WLAN enabled. It automatically connects to a Wi-Fi if one is available and unsecured. I use it to surf the internet receive and send email, sometimes I even chat on my MSN until I came across fring Fring is a free mobile VoIP software that allows you to talk & IM via your handset's internet connection to other mobile phones and PC-based services such as Skype®, Google Talk™, MSN® Messenger, SIP and Twitter, at no extra cost. To qualify for this fantastic voice call revolution you need a compactable handset and couple of online account with skype, google talk, MSN, or any SIP provider like vonage truphone, twister etc. or any VoIP provider. Most of them offer free PC-PC and Mobile to Mobile. Because your mobile would be acting like a PC. The last thing you need if you cannot afford a Wireless connection through your mobile phone company is to look out for Hotspots around your area that is unsecured. I use vonage and I still do not know how to configure the SIP to work with fring. If anyone with information on how to configure vonage with Nokia N95 through fring should let us know. To make a call to anywhere in the world your friend or recipient must have an online account with any of the skype, MSN, etc. Like the way you add buddy to your IM list and chat to them when they are online. The software is permanently connected to internet, when a call comes in it rings like a normal mobile phone. The only down fall I see in it is that is consumes mobile battery very quickly. Well the software is in it BETA stage we hope for improvement at later releases. This is the end of traditional telecommunication system. Telecom and other big Telecommunication network are in for a big surprise. Also, if you are a stock trader I would suggest looking into fring stock index. I don’t know if they are listed or not but this revolutionary software and company will play a bigger part in future of VoIP and HSDPA. Also, look into Blackstone Group, the biggest ever private equity company that has now gone public due to all the hype about tax, MBO, asset stripping issues. The ever company to capitalize £4.1 billion on a public fund, hence stock and it is listed in the NYSE. I think the symbol that it is ticking on is NYSE:BX Their IPO was listed yesterday at $31 per share and it is ticking at $35 per share already. Investment people should look at that index. China has already bought $1.5 billion into the NYSE:BX of their pension fund. So if you have some money laying around like £20,000 you should invest into this stock. I am not joking. Remember to do your research. The government are looking into changing the laws of private equity companies that would mean that the private equity companies would have their balance sheet scrutinize by government. The stock market since this year has been corrected twice, so you have to watch out for market bubbles. But whatever you do don’t forget real estate and investing in farm companies for biofuel generation if any. |

No, the user must have an account free of charge from any of these VoIP providers, skype, msn, yahoo, Talk google, etc. Also, they must have a compactable phone to install fring. The phone MUST be wi-fi ready or have internet access from the phone company. For Wi-Fi ready, I mean the phone must be able to connect to a free hotspot or internet through wireless protocol, hence the phone must have a WLAN/Modem The fring software connects you to your VoIP provider like Skype, the other person is also connected to Skype through fring. From the fring software you select the person handle i.e. sbucareer and press call, it will call the other person in the case sbucareer because I am signed into skype on my phone through fring it will ring and I would answer it and we can talk endlessly. It does not matter any part of the world you are, as long as all these criteria are meet, you can talk for free. There is growing popularity of free hotspots. Even in Nigeria, I believe Abuja, there are many free hotspots your phone can connect with a WLAN. All you need is to sign up for a free VoIP account with many companies like skype, MSN, google etc. Remember that you friend must sign up on the same VoIP as you. My brother if you have £20,000 please, please, please buy this stock. I have remortgage my house to release some equity and thank God I got about £70K and it all went to this stock. I bought it about $31 per share. I bought 2,258 shares. If I have to hedge 30% of the share that is 677 shares and sell it at the current index at $35, I wil be making £23, 709 already. I will hedge another 30% by December then I will break even with my initial investment of $70k. I will leave the remaining 40% for like 5 years with large diversification portfolio. This is a way to plan for your future. I should not be telling you this information for free. It cost money for this information, but because I love Nairalanders I am providing you with this rear opportunity of investment. Also, look at Carlyle Group. I think they are private equity company I cannot find their symbol on the listed market. Anyway, good luck with your stock market. |

Thanx for the info, this will definately come in handy in the near future when hotspot are almost everywhere as per blackstone i read about them in the guardian and also watch something about it on working lunch. Apart from using halifax sharebuilder i don't know much about the UK stock market, just played safe on some couple of companies. I invest in the nigerian stock market though, might not be 100% yet but more rewarding i think. I don't know if youve seen this bits Acta non verba and tips for NSE im sure you are already in another stock universe already  Goodluck with the invesments i can see high profits coming your way already. |
