i don't think it's going to work. google had gvoice for years and marketed it with free phone calls and voicemails, and it didn't take off. i had a similar project 5~6 years ago, which fell apart. my conclusion is that free call is not attractive at all to general public. if you are competing again telcomms (excluding MIM apps), you need a product that is 10x better, and "free" is not a magic word. or, find your niche! (e.g. crowdfunding project funders, consider my disapproved kickstarter project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1015114671/1150193072?token=303f53da https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1015114671/1150193072?t...) good luck!

  > my conclusion is that free call is not attractive at all to general public Well Google has the free calling built into Gmail and Hangouts now so I wouldn't be so sure about that.

    let me rephrase my words: free call is not attractive at all to general public as a standalone product. it's a nice-to-have feature, not a deal maker.

I get audio files of messages people leave me on MagicJack. I think this is something similar. I communicate with someone consistently who does not like to type. So, you may have a good use case. Your website has 90s look. It gives a look of a shaddy service. Doesn't look serious or even professional. That is what I think. You asked for it.

  Hehe, I was looking for that :-) Is it the pictures, or all the rest ?

    Look, if your service is useful enough, it will get traction even if you have no website to boot. That has been the reality of supply and demand since ages.

  I like the pictures. These are 1990s web pages: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6125914/How-20-popular-websites-looked-when-they-launched.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6125914/How-20-popular...
