NEW CallCheckers: Could you spare 5 mins to help test them

Former_MSE_Archna

Hi all,

We're working on a new and improved version of the CallCheckers. Could you spend 5 mins helping us test them?

Please ignore the editorial on and around them as that's not finished but let us know for the UK and International CallCheckers (they're separate):

Is it easy to use?
What do you like/don't you like?
Any glitches?
Any other suggestions

Many thanks for your help, much appreciated

Can I ask what the tabs are for, as they are blank?

Overall though very good application - perhaps it could be made into a WAP page so people can do it on the move?

Just put in Turkmenistan, then checked the cost to a landline from a VM landline. It looked ok but I checked the second result, Localphone, against their website and you seem to have taken the rate without VAT. Perhaps it needs more work.
I realise the text is to be edited but I am not sure it is right to say without qualification the user pays a connection charge to the line provider. That wouldn't apply if it is an 0808 number, which I am sure some are.

Spotted a couple of bugs in it ....

Calling a Spanish mobile from a BT Landline brings up Just Dial's 2p landline rate rather their 9p mobile rate.

Also, calling a UK landline at weekend having Sky line rental, lists BT at 0p rather than Sky.

To clarify the tabs will have editorial content inside, much in the same way our >TravelMoneyMax< tool does.

Thanks for all the feedback, keep it coming!

I don't understand why you've chosen a sprinkling of VoIP brands, having left them out for years, but not chosen some of the cheaper Betamax and Dellmont ones.

Even for those which are there, such as Voipbuster, the rate has been miscalculated - French and German mobiles aren't 31.6 pence a minute, and French ones not 22.2p. Is it possible that the Euro exchange rate has been inverted by mistake, thus 20 cents becoming about 25 pence, then 31 pence with VAT? Mind you, against 4 or 6 or 8 cents possible on their other brands it doesn't really matter.

It's really good. I am on talktalk so I was suspicious when I used the previous callchecker as talktalk may not charge the same as BT but since this has all providers it's really good. Also I like the ratings system as it also helps in checking whether the companies are reputable or not. I like it a lot.

I have just checked the rates to Japan and Nigeria Mobile, MO-call came up as 0P/min but it isnt correct according to the rates on MO-CALL website.
