  • paid 1 euro to VoipBuster last night, not yet showing on account. Is there a way to check it is being processed??
    had this email today....
    Congratulations! You are now registered to make FREE calls to a number of popular countries. You will also profit from our extremely low international rates and make cheap calls to almost any other destination worldwide!

    Should I have waited for this email `before` trying to pay the 1 euro?

    Is there a way to change an email address with VoipBuster?? When you log in and bring up Personal details, it only shows name and address.

    Made 1 call lasting 1 minute, now says not enough credit. I was under the impression you could carry on making calls of 1 minute or less, is this not the case.

    THANKS

    I too have the 0845 number VoIP Buster emailed to me, though since this weekend it is unable to receive calls, you get a BT announcement stating the network is busy.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    You only get the email AFTER you have paid the €1. I found I needed to deposit 2 X €1 before it worked fully. Worth a try for an extra 70p.

    I can't see any way of changing your registered email address. What I did was just set up another account, although you will need to deposit more credit if you want calls > 1 minute (again a couple of euros isn't exactly going to break the bank). Please note only one account is permitted per email address. If you use Gmail though (or similar) you can set up as many email addresses and therefore voipbuster accounts as you like.

    With mine you do actually get a ringing tone although the PC itself (neither x-lite nor voipbuster software) does not respond. May be it is no longer working. :confused:
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    Has anyone ever set up voipcheap on x-lite? I tried to using similar settings (voipcheap.co.uk instead of voipbuster.com) to the ones that I use for voipbuster but it comes back with 408 Timeout.

    Voipcheap has just added a number of free countries (some different to voipbuster) to their list that's why I want to use them as well as voipbuster.

    I got the red writing, and It took about 4hours until I had another
    email with a link clicked on it and hey presto fully registered then made a payment.

    Patience is a Virtue. :o or some old tosh.

    Don't want to state the obvious but have you verified your account i.e. double clicked the link in the original account set up email (not the one you received after the €1 payment)?

  • You would assume I must have done as they say my account is active.

    Or maybe not.....

    I thought that as I had one email as a welcome one,after trying to pay 1 euro and saying we will send an email in the red writing I got
    another email with the link as said earlier.
