Posted: 11 Dec 2010 11:18 AM PST

Recently, I wrote about free calling to anywhere in the world which allowed unlimited number of calls but duration of call was limited. Here I share a promotion by Pennytel offering 10 million minutes of free calling.

Yes, there are no hidden requirements or conditions to avail this offer. Pennytel (as seen on MyDigitalLife ) is Australia based VOIP service provider allowing you to call most popular countries in the world free of charge. It is available for existing customers as well as new sign-up.

Free Calling to India UK US Canada Australia China VOIP

Go to Promotional Page and Register on Pennytel and all the required information will be mailed to you.

After successful registration, go back again to promotional page and enter Email ID you used to register to avail this offer.

The promotion includes Australia, Canada, China, India, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK and the USA.

How to make free calls from PennyTel

To start making free calls, you have multiple ways. You can try Pennytel iPhone app, SoftPhone, SmartDial or Landline.

Out of these options, SmartDial allows you to make calls using your mobile phone. To use Landline, You need ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter) and iPhone users can go for official app.

Moreover, Pennytel supports SIP Gates too, so use the following setting in you SIP client:

SIP Proxy : sip.pennytel.com
Domain : sip.pennytel.com
SIP Register : Yes
Preferred Codec : g729, g723
Port : 5060

I will recommend using SoftPhone if you find above options difficult. Login to your Portal, enable Softphone and use it directly from web browser to start making calls directly without configuring anything. This requires Java applet installed to get working.

This Softphone is more or less like Google Voice Dialer. While dialing don’t forget to add Country Code and enjoy free calling uninterrupted anywhere in the world free of charge!

Note: For Australia, New Zealand and UK, the free calls is to landline only, excluding calls to mobiles and special numbers. Other countries of Canada, China, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, the USA, both calls to mobile phone and fixed line is free.

10 million minutes are are shared among all PennyTel customers who take up the offer. However, the promotion lasts from 1st December 2010 to 8th January 2011 but I suspect it will end before that so Hurry up!

Hulu is a popular video service allowing to watch popular TV shows and Movies online for free but sadly, it is available for US only. Hulu generally blocks application which allows downloading their videos.

Being not from US, you have to use proxies to access and watch videos on Hulu. Here, I tried a free application which allows you to download videos from hulu and if required you can also convert them into AVI to make it playable.

Freemake Video downloader is a freeware which can download videos from multiple sites simultaneously. Impressive thing is that you get a inbuilt proxy setup so that downloading from Hulu outside United States isn’t a problem.

Freemake Video downloader not just supports Hulu but also several other Video sites like Youtube, MTV, Dailymotion, Megaporn, Youporn, Metacafe, Vimeo, ComedyCentral and much more!

Nokia Situations: Make Symbian Mobile Smarter and adapt your Living

Posted: 10 Dec 2010 08:31 PM PST

Wouldn't it be great if your mobile knows when to set the Alarms, activate Silent Mode, start the music player and more but everything automatically.

Nokia Beta Labs team has just released a neat little app that automatically adapts your phone to your current needs or situations. Now all that can be achieved with the help of Nokia Situations and much more like you have a personal assistant with you in your phone.

Choosing Actions To Take:

You can set any combination of the following actions in any situation and there action will be performed at you want it to happen:

Change Ringtones: This can set ringing style like make the phone go silent or louder, turn vibra on/off, and all the other profile settings.
Answer missed calls with SMS: Especially when you set your phone to silent, you can also make it reply to missed calls, from contacts in your phonebook, with a pre-defined SMS.
Save Power: Not using phone for a while, like when sleeping? Turn Bluetooth on/off or let your phone change to power-saving mode totally.
Change Theme or Wallpaper: Want to make the phone look different in different situations? Change the Theme during free time vs. when you are at work.
Open a Web bookmark or application: Let's assume you like to listen music when u get up and brush your teeth. Want to see weather forecast for the day when you wake up? Look at the calendar as first thing? Open the Ovi Map when it time to go the office and get traffic updates.

Choosing The Conditions:

To make the device to act on the situation, you can tell the device to watch for the following conditions (separately or in combination)

Scheduled:
- Set period of time – Like at this time or between this time
- Set active days – At this date or day once, every day or on particular days
- Set during active calendar events – meetings, concerts, outings and more.
Location:
- Nearby – GSM locations or nearby known places
- Current location – GPS locations
- From Map – Selecting locations from Ovi maps
Connectivity: Wi-Fi (when in range), Bluetooth (when connected to a device)

Note that this is still an experimental application however we can indeed hope that the application will be refined as it is developed further. However, be advised that not all Nokia Experimental apps that showed up in the beta labs see the light of the day.

But since this is a rather innovative and attractive proposition, chances are that it will, much like Swype went gold a few days ago. At first sight you might confuse Nokia Situations with the basic Symbian profiles app, but I am sure when you use it's for a while you will realize that it's far more capable than the normal profile settings.

Note: Please refer the Nokia Beta Labs site to check the compatibility for your phone, bugs and known issues of Nokia Situations
