Wow
3g alternates are now in mrkt
_____ another flop by a pathetic comapny….
[Comment Edited]
Ptcl have 3G license?
Btw nice rates.
now i know it is not 3G.
hahahahaaha 1 G tu chala lein….2 2 mahine phone kharaab rehta hai…their profit will get into loss soon
Well, there infrastructure for DSL sucks. I don’t get speed over 100k on my 2mb DSL. So how come PTCL can provide uninterrupted video-calling over DSL?
hahahaha thats true all services of PTCL sucks
DSL is only as good as your phone line, get your line checked. Call helpline and look into the SNR(signal to noise ratio) on your modem.
If its not good just apply for a new line as that solved my problem and been working fine for 4 years now.
Move to linkdotnet quality service.
wow, seems like an exciting service, worth trying. Please write a complete article if any of your blog writers try it. would love to know.
u will regret it
so we can enjoy free demo service till september and then dislike the service and subscribe for 500 per month lol
Who needs it when you have skype…..
utter waste of money !
Why NOT go get a Skype certified Video calling phone then? why pay Rs.500 to PTCL ?
By the way, how Video and Audio over DSL is legal now? as PTA claims that Internet in Pakistan can’t be used for Audio/Video communication. Have they changed their “rules” ? PTA invested millions to block VoIP (but not porn) which you still can use in Pakistan.
PTCL does not bother and PTA issue them showcause every second month….but these arabs and the top management especially commercial head is down syndrome
I think VOIP rules from PTA are against using VOIP with actual phone lines. Computer to computer is okay. In this case, video device to video device.
PTCL’s license allows it to carry “VOICE” that is what worries PTA the most.
PTCL Videophone is only usable on PTCL’s DSL unlike the universal portability SIP phones offer.
Video and voice havebeen practically available on internet everywhere in the world and even in Pakistan.
I think this is a new beginning and this will also determine the market for video calling over mobile sets as expected from 3G
PTCL DSL sucks so this new beginning will have sad ending like EVO and other PTCL products
Device is little expensive but rates are very reasonable. this step would be revolutionized the industry.
i agree skype is free and all other PTCL services are not dependable…people are stuck with evo devices and vfones…PTCL new launches are BAD NEWS
what is the quality of this application after a year?
