Talkster officially launches its integration with GTalk2VoIP, offering callers worldwide free international, long distance and group conference calls. Talkster’s partnership with GTalk2VoIP extends the company’s ad-supported free calling service from 34 countries to cover the entire globe.
The partnership between Talkster and GTalk2VoIP allows callers from any country in the world to leverage Google Talk to make free calls to or from anywhere else in the world. Now, if the country you are calling to or from is not included in Talkster’s network of more than 30 countries worldwide, you can simply use Google Talk to call the Talkster number provided to make your portion of the call completely free.
Especially beneficial to areas with strictly regulated VoIP and telecom practices, such as India and United Arab Emirates, using Talkster through GTalk2VoIP will let people communicate freely between mobile phones, landlines and PCs, even in countries not currently covered by Talkster’s ad supported free calling service.
GTalk2VoIP is a free and publicly open voice gateway for major instant messenger clients. It makes it possible for people to use instant messenger services, including Google Talk, to call people on regular phones, without requiring any additional software, establishing new accounts or paying any further fees.
