The End Of BrainTel LDI - You Will Be Missed

Published by Babar Bhatti on February 18, 2009 09:30 pm under Business, Companies, Government Regulations, PTA, Telecommunications
BrainTel LDI license has been suspended by PTA. Is this the final chapter in the short but adventurous life of the famous 210-nnnn series?
A few years ago someone in Lahore showed me how they could dial a local number (210-nnnn) from Lahore and connect directly to U.S. After a bit of investigation I also signed up for the service. It wasn’t a very consistent or reliable service but having a local number was very convenient. And when it worked, the VOIP technology was absolutely wonderful and very affordable. Soon this service came under the radar and many times it came to the brink of being closed. This time it seems that it is gone for good. It was fun while it lasted.
The dispute between PTA and Braintel (as described in the pdf document) can be the topic of many posts and shows the internal strifes of the LDI industry. Braintel has some bitter complaints agains the ‘cartel’ and how the price of calls to Pakistan are set up.
Here’s one excerpt which shows the point of view of “The Authority”.
The Authority, through the Traffic Monitoring Facility installed for the purpose, noted that (i) it has during the period from 14th May, 2008 to 30th June, 2008, unauthorizedly originated 450,814 international telephony minutes (accounting for 65,482 international telephony calls) and terminated those minutes in different countries through IP address 119.63.130.98 by using SIP over non-standard port 8891 (ii) from 14th May, 2008 to 30th June, 2008 it has also unauthorizedly terminated 2,442,779 international telephony minutes (accounting for 339,917 international telephony calls) in Pakistan through IP address 119.63.130.98 by using SIP over non-standard port 8891 and (iii) the licensee has been using its locally allocated numbers for the Lahore Region (N/S) outside Pakistan by misusing Direct Inward Dialing technique and by mapping its numbers against IP addresses, hence, these numbers are being used globally and more than 50,000 customers of the licencee are usingthese numbers in around 77 countries.

Unlimited calls From Pakistan

How to make a call from Pakistan in less than RS 02.00 and receiving in Saudi Arabia at no additional cost on internet telephone or PC. If you have DSL at home in Saudi Arabia you can receive free calls from Pakistan (or all over the world) form any telephone.

**Please contact me or leave a comment in this post if you want help!

***your comments will encourage me to provide more tips to call Pakistan and all over the world so please keep posting.

As you know that USA is placed in zone 1 of call tariff in Pakistan and its only RS. 2:00 a minute or If you call from mobile phone it is even cheaper. Moreover if you have subscribed to friends and family packages like Telnor or Zong then it may be RS 0.75 per minute.


PTCL international call tariff:
Zone 1Rs 2:00 / Minute
Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Spain, UK, USA.

You can also take this benefit and start receiving calls as you are virtually in Zone 1 by having virtual USA number redirected to your SIP (VoIP) account. (And getting USA number is free)…….. sounds good,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

So here is the catch…….

If you are living in Saudi Arabia and your family is in Pakistan then you can get inbound USA number for free that will ring on your existing VoIP adapter or computer via internet. If you don’t have free VoIP account don’t worry, many VoIP providers are providing free SIP VoIP accounts (I will show you how to get SIP VoIP and how to configure step by step.)

Things you need if you are in Saudi Arabia:
1.) Internet connection (high-speed more than 128kbps)
2.) VoIP SIP account any service provider (FWD, Gizmo, Voxalot or static IP address) I am using TPAD account Free
3.) US inbound number (IPKALL) free
4.) VoIP adapter or computer with free soft phone (I am using Linksys PAP2T with normal telephone without computer.) ( use any free soft phone like x-lite).

Step 1:
Register with any free VoIP account. I registered with TPAD , confirm your account and if you want to use computer to receive calls then download and install free soft phone from Tpad and make some test call (Tpad to Tpad is free). Don’t worry you are not using tpad services to call Pakistan this is just a transporter.

Step 2:
If you have your tpad, gizmo, or FWD account ready then go to IPKALL.com for free US inbound number. This service lets you receive FREE calls over the Internet from any phone, anywhere, any time!Click on Signup and fill the form below:














SIP phone number: will be your VoIP number.
If you are using TPAD then add *8142*TPadNumber.
SIP proxy: use your VoIP sip proxy.
If you are using TPAD then your proxy will be sipbroker.com
Email address: use any valid email address (IPKALL will send you number to this email address)
Password: chose any password

IPkall will take 24 hours to activate your phone number and this will ring on your VoIP account mean if you created tpad account and configured in your PC then all inbound calls will be directed to your TPAD account.

Note: if you don’t want to use computer to receive calls use Linksys PAP2T and setup your tpad account and bypass computer.Let me know if you want to know how to receive phone calls on PAP2T.

IPkall number is direct PSTN phone number, you can give this number to your family in Pakistan or all over the world, people will call you and will pay USA call charges and you pay nothing.
