India Cracks Down On Illegal VoIP
Taking a page out of the Chinese playbook on how to be a monopoly based economy, India's telecom regulators have cracked down on VoIP being used in the country illegally actually going as far as arresting some of the operators. One of the companies is Primus Telecommunications India, which may be a sister company of Primus, the company that offers Lingo here in the USA.
I know as fact that some USA based companies which do offshore IT development in India have used Vonage boxes in India with USA phone numbers, as well as Skype. IP knows no boundry lines and borders get crossed. I find this humourous that the country that welcomes so much outsourced business on one hand wants to restrict the ability to efficiently communicate on the other.
Hi everybody !
I want to setup a Termination in india . Any one can tel me how to start. I am waiting for your Response.

I recommend using Telifu.com They support VOIP in India and also ship the adapter for free. I have been using them for a long time and they provide excellent service.
www.telifu.com
I am paying about 10 bucks a month for unlimited calls to india. The call quality is also very good.

I bought a router from U.S and I used it in India. It uses a US phone no. It worked fine for some days and then suddenly after 5 days, the phone does not work (no dial tone), but the internet is working through the router.
I just wanted to know if My ISP (BSNL's DataOne) is blocking this service.
If anyone is using a similar equipment, can u please tell me if you are using it without an problems.
Can anyone solve this problem?

I recently bought Lingo equipment/serice & the service worked fine in US. I used all default settings with no special configuration.
Now I tried to hook it up on MTNL ADSL router(India).
Although after connect of equipment WAN access is fine from my computer but the Voip ligh is not glowing & phone is giving ring tone.
What could be the reason?
How to fix it?

Honestly....Not everyone is a damn genius.
Not one person on this bulletin board has said anything in layman terms. Maybe the questions has been asked in greek or latin. Let me make it simple.
I take a VOIP router to India. I use it in India with a USA local number.
1. Is it legal for personal use.
2. Is it legal for Business use.
Now if someone can answer this in the simplest way possible. I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

DEAR FRIENDS
ANY VOIP CALL THAT ORIGINATES/TERMINATES INTO ANOTHER PSTN/VOIP NETWORK (ANOTHER COUNTRY) ORIGINATING/TERMINATING FROM/TO INDIA(OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY) IS NOT ILLEGAL. MEANS IT IS LEGAL.
RESTRICTIONS COMES INTO PICTURE ONLY WHEN THERE IS A 'BUSINESS' USAGE IS IDENTIFIED. THAT IS SELLING OF SUCH SERVICE TO NORMAL USERS. EG: PROVIDING ISD CALLS AT CHEAP RATE TO USERS IN STD/ISD BOOTHS
JUST THE PLAYERS AROUND HERE ARE TRYING TO MONOPOLY THAT IS IT ALL ABOUT.
TELECOM LAW IS NOT CLEAR BUT IT SAYS THE SERVICE PROVISION SHOULD NOT LIMIT A CUSTOMER FOR USIGN ANY PORTS OTHER THAN THAT IS USED BY THE PROVIDER/ISP. BUT, RESTRICTION OF USAGE/BANDWIDTH IS ACCEPTABLE BASED ON PLAN.
WITH THANKS

Voip in india is so much confused that it is difficult to understand what is illegal or legal. TRAI governing body for telecom sector has to make thing easy and workable.
