WhatsApp Rolls out Text formatting and Document Sharing Feature

Sounds interesting, right? Even the sound of it happening is excellent because the Government is going to meet with Internet Service Providers and Telecom Operators to decide how the services can be integrated. If the law is evacuated, we could soon have access to call landline phones from WhatsApp, Skype, Viber and others IMs in India. You may soon be able to dial landline or mobile phone numbers from popular internet apps such as Skype, WhatsApp or Viber, resulting the clearance for inter-connect agreements among internet service providers and telecom operators by an inter-ministerial panel of the government on Monday.

You May Soon Make WhatsApp, Skype and Viber Calls to Landlines

You may soon be able to make calls via the instant messaging and video calling platforms such as WhatsApp, Viber and Skype. The government is planning to roll out these new services to all the landline users and the WhatsApp, Skype and Viber app users on the mobile devices. However, the calls won’t be free like intra-WhatsApp or intra-Viber calls, rather, the calling rates might be fixed by the ISPs and Telcos which usually should be lower than the current rates.

The move may result in considerably lower charges for voice calls (which would be billed as per data usage) despite the poor quality of internet networks a general irritant with broadband services in many parts of the country – could be a dampener.

An official source said, “The move has been cleared by the inter-ministerial telecom commission and groundwork to get it going will start soon.” Voice over Internet Protocol(VoIP) has already grown widely outside India but is still in a very nascent stage here. TRAI is in full support of the service and wants interconnection of ISPs and Telecom Operators.

How will the Public Gain from VoIP?

Voice over Internet Protocol is an amazing technology wherein a person will be able to call another person over the internet instead of using the offline telephone network. This lets the Internet Service Providers partner with Telcos thereby providing related calling facilities across the internet.
Usually, the users run out of balance at the final moment, and during this time, VoIP comes to the rescue. Everyone has an internet pack activated on their service provider, which would let them make calls over the internet at very inexpensive rates. A lot will depend on the quality of calls as well. Though VOIP calls are at par with normal calls globally, sometimes even beneficial than them.

It would be truly a rack to use WhatsApp, Viber and Skype for calling India at times when you are abroad because not every time the other person was using the internet. With this service coming in, it would be very much helpful for the person who’s calling the person on the other side. This is exactly similar to the online to offline model, what Google Voice does in the US.

Calls over the internet are anticipated to be affordable than the usual voice calls, which makes understanding as well since we’re already paying for the internet service. The Ministry is sitting down with ISPs and Telcos to decide the prices and termination fees. Following the panel’s clearance, its subscribers will be able to terminate calls on the landline or mobile networks of any service provider ranging from MTNL or BSNL’s fixed lines o the mobile numbers on Airtel, Vodafone or Idea Cellular.
