Virtual VoIP Calling service

One of my friends in Nepal took a very well thought initiative for the local people of his city who were unaware of the cheaper calling rates that VoIP provides. On account of a poor computer penetration and less familiarity with the internet, its not possible for the people to keep in touch with their relatives abroad. The only solution is making ISD calls. So he came up with this idea wherein International calling cards will be provided to the people.

The people will make calls to a local phone at his centre which will further get routed to USA, UK, Australia etc. through an IPPBX. At present he owns three local phone lines which are connected to the server. The caller first makes a local call to his centre. After his caller ID gets authenticated, he is asked to enter the international number. Thus the call gets routed overseas through a SIP provider. There are many advantages of this system to the caller

1. No need to enter any Password.
2. Only Caller ID authentication is required.
3. Caller needs just the calling card.
4. No need of computer or net connectivity.
5. Balance amount in the calling card can be checked over the same local call by just entering a specific number.

All this integration was done remotely in a time of less than 5 days. Very soon he wants to integrate a Mobile Line through Bluetooth with the ippbx.

Least Cost Routing

“Least Cost Routing”(LCR) is the process to reduce the cost on all outbound calls and provide customers with cheap telephone calls. Usually, in a corporate environment, high volume of calls is made. LCR allows the telephone system to automatically route the long distance call to the most economical telephony carrier / network thus reducing the employee's effort in making calls.

Least Cost Routing chooses the cheapest service provider based on a set of criteria, mostly the dialed number and the time of day. Depending upon the programming, the LCR would either move down to the second most efficient service if the first one is not accessible or it would send a ‘busy’ signal to the user.All this is extremely flexible without changing your existing telephone system or your telephone number. Thus LCR provides you with a complete package of following advantages:

> Cost cutting
> Effortless handling of outbound calls
> Efficient management of heavy data traffic
> Retaining your original telephone number
> Uncompromised quality of service.

Thus LCR being the most highlighted feature of our products at Bicnet Infoservices we introduce to you BICSERVER which brings to you a unique computer telephony system that integrates 4th generation PC based Internet Protocol based PBX with traditional analog, digital and GSM lines with a standard USB 2.0 interface.
