Blauworld Lowered Prices - Page 4

Germans have already complained that you cannot seem to order one via the net and there is no local outlet in Germany from which you can purchase these as yet. Bottom line: a bit premature to annouce the product without establishing distribution channels. As of this morning, anyway.

But it has a 7c? setup-fee while Blauworld has 15c?.

Ortel's website says 15 cents, same as Blauworld. It's a clone, all right. (And, I would hope, if one of them is going to drop the connection fee to 7 cents, they all will.)

BTW, I have seen another BW clone for sale at a telephone/internet center in Frankfurt (Oder), though the name of it escapes me. The prices advertised were the old ones, or it didn't mention most of Europe, USA, etc., presumably because it was 99 cents at the time of printing.

They need to edit their website a bit

Germans and Russians might complain

Voipfone have just put their rates to mobiles up so it is now about 14p/min
(and calls to 3, 24p!!)

Thanks; it's already discussed on another thread. Apologies that we were off-topic above, though the other options are still there.

The company runs such a service in other countries as well. I think they ported the website and did not replace all parts yet

Blauworld will lower the prices from Feb 2007 again.

Calls inside germany go down from 25 to 19ct

Calls to many countries get lowered as well

Examples:
poland landlines 5ct
russia landline + mobile 8ct
ukraine landline 9ct, mobile 19ct
turkey landline 7,9ct
china landline+mobile 5ct
etc...

This is great news, although I can't tell whether calls to countries like the UK or US are going to be reduced as well - this could either mean they will not be, or simply that German journalists assume that Turkey, Poland, and the Balkans are the only places of interest to Blauworld customers. Either way, 5cents a minute to Poland is pretty neat - the cheapest call-by-call providers in Germany usually charge about 1.4 cents, so this is an excellent rate for a mobile.

Aha, it's eight countries plus Germany.
