I love this, I have blocked my number however. The quality is clear and seems a lot better than skype. No delays as well. It was awesome.

I'll be taking a look over the API and see if I can pull anything exciting off.

Cool, ping our [email protected] happy to help.

Also look at some other Open Source projects we did, you can fork anything that may help bootstrap.

Our system calls from the phone number: +1 (626) 340-2001
You may SMS (text message) or call this number from any phone number
you would like to block. Just follow the instructions given over the phone / SMS.

Sure about that ? Because when I tried calling a local number, I saw the call coming from a local number from mu country as well.

mmm, suppose to. I think the provider only does that for US.

Just give it a specific number, and hit "Call". It prices it out and gives you an invoice that you can just cancel if that's not what you want.

As for IP logging, since it's hosted on Google App Engine, you should probably assume your IP is recorded in at least 10 places... ;-)

Even though its hosted on the Google App Engine, I assume its not their service that you are using for calling. So if I was to make an anonymous call to someone, will someone be able to get to you, and then to me through the number and the IP ?
Not that I plan on doing something wrong, just would like to know.

Tried putting in some international numbers and it asked me for $0.20 for 5 minutes. Very reasonable pricing, I must say. Better than what telcos companies here in our country offer. Btw, in case you guys didn't know, you can actually make an international call in Facebook with free of charge. But I must say that there is an immense delay between you and the one you called. If the average rates could be posted soon enough, this service will take off and gain traction. For those who actually called someone using this service, is the quality of the call potato or decent?

If anyone should have had a bad call I should have. I called a sat phone of a friend located in Germany from the U.S. West coast and had a clear connection for the entire call.

Good thing the quality isn't potato at all, and that is already an advantage and a plus to your customers. However, it would be nice if the average price per call is indicated so that users won't be shocked to find that they're bill is more expensive than a pay phone.

besides the rate, which sometime seems off, i tried to call a random number and the price was too high, maybe that number didn't exist or something, it's a great idea indeed

We're the people behind Coinkite and we made this site to demonstrate the BitKit API in a real application.
For voice and telephony features, we're using Twilio.

Great original idea. The service works perfectly for international calls. Pay and connect. Very simple to use.

PS: love the avatar. lol

Thanks, was a fun project to work on.

Service looks nice . I called a friend here in Canada, and he got the call from a local number which was great. Other services usually call from international numbers.

This is the most fun I had calling someone since the last time I used pay phone. I really loved it. I just dialed my fiance and she was so socked that I used BTC.
This one of the most brilliant use of BTC for sure.

Is the site down???
Is this site restricted in India???

Site is up, with no restrictions. Try the tor browser.

Checked it out...
But it's asking for $0.36 for 5 minutes, it's an expensive service IMHO...
As converting it into INR means giving INR 25 for 5 minutes, which means I need to pay INR 5 per minute which is very expensive compared to what I am using with my local carriers...

Hey I just tried this out. Good job man! It's a cool thing.

I entered a number and selected 5min. I then send $0.20 in BTC and it connected. It worked like a charm!
Cheers.

For 5 mins, $0.20 is pretty reasonable. Don't compare it will the rates in Skype. Skype rates are low, as the voice quality is also lower. Even in Skype, they will charge around $0.11 for the same call ($0.07 per call + $0.01 per minute). When being compared to normal cell-phone rates, these charges are very much reasonable.
