IM Telephony - Gtalk

What IMs are supported by TringMe?

Although we support several IMs, at this point, we have released support for Google Talk commercially. We will be releasing support for other IMs very soon!

What can I do with IM Telephony?

IMs can be used to make and receive calls, voicemails with TringMe. You can also send SMS from IMs. Read more about it here.

What happens if I am not online? Can I still receive a call?

You will never lose your voicemail. In case you are not available online, TringMe delivers the instruction to retrieve the voicemail to your email address. Your voicemail will be available for you for 48 hours after receiving the call.

Can I send SMS using IM?

Yes, most certainly.

Why do I hear “Goodbye” as soon as I request TringMe to place a call?

This usually happens if the credit balance isn’t sufficient to make the call to your desired number. Please check the credit balance and ensure minimum credit for call to go through successfully.

What will you charge me to use this service?

If you make a call to an email address, the call is FREE. If you make a call via a SIP URI, the FREE call is terminated after 1 min. If you make a call to a phone number, low rates as applicable for the call are deducted from your credits. We have to charge for this since the call is terminating on a carrier’s network and we have to pay them interconnection charges.
