Spokn is a new VOIP service provider. Its a mix between Google Voice and Skype. I used it for the last few days and I been experimenting with it
Here’s my take on it.

Spokn is a clean app. Its feature are tremendous. Basically Spokn is an Internet telephony service that works all the time, whether you are online or offline, on laptop or the mobile, travelling or at home. Spokn’s services are either for free or very nominally charged. Spokn provides 24 hour customer support, even to the free users.

You are made to get a Spokn ID. This Spokn ID is your own 7 digit number. It is Free and its like your username. The Spokn ID is a number so that your folks can dial you from their regular phones. When you choose your own Spokn ID, take a seven digit number that you can remember well (like your date of birth, last digits of your mobile phone, etc.)

Whats the cool part? Well you can give your cousins in America the local no they got to dial to access Spokn’s services and then your access no. You can then receive the call free on your pc.

How Cool is that?

You could be logged in from multiple devices at once (like Spokn dialer on your laptop, a SIP device at home and from your mobile dialer too). If you have (optionally) enabled call forwarding, your regular phone will also ring. The call will ring on all of them for 15 seconds. If you pick it up, other phones will stop ringing. If you didn’t pick up the call on any of the phones, the caller is prompted to leave a VMS for you.

So only making calls are payable and the prices are dirt cheap, cheaper than skype in many cases and whats free?

* All calls to other Spokn IDs are free.
* Incoming calls from other Spokn IDs are free.
* Incoming calls from regular phones are free.

Try it out, let us know what you think?
