Sister company to 1899 and 18866 VoIPBuster offers calls to many destinations for free, and others from just a 1c connection charge.

    Thanks BexTech.
    Some of the rates are cheaper than call18866 and 1899. I tried and the reception is not crystal clear but good enough, possibly half of second or 1 second delay, other than that, totally recommended.

    I've not had a problem so far.

    Should be noted the displayed prices are in (Euro) cents.

    Minimum top-up is 5 euros + VAT. Even if you want to call to destination with zero rate (not 'FREE') you must pay this amount first because connection fee is 1 cent.

    I'm only using it for the free destinations at the moment, the €5 also gives you an incoming number.

    Standard rate VAT in Switzerland 7.6%

    I have not purchased any credit, so do not know if they do charge the 7.6% on the top up credit.

    Not so. You can call the listed free countries' landlines without having committed a ¢.

    If you stray into chargeable territory then a polite bloke says "You have run out of credit. Please go to your account page to buy more credit"

    Yes, but in my post I tried to stress that 'free' destinations and destinations with zero rate are not the same.

    How petty can complaints get? Can't you afford €5 up front?
