The CallBlue DU1 is an extremely simple to use dialup Internet phone that can be used with a Dialup connection. No PC or Monitor or Modem or any adapter is required. Their web phone is a phone to phone conversation as opposed to a PC to phone conversation. All you will need to do is to enter the PIN Number from your card, the Number you wish to be called back on, and the number you wish to call.

CallBlue is slightly different from other VoIP phones. Of course the have the same low rates for paid calls or prepaid services, which is common for Voip providers these days. But a dialup phone and callback services makes CallBlue unique. The CallBlue SMS-Phone service has been designed for convenience and ease of use. You simply need to be able to send an SMS message from your cell phone, after which you can start placing long-distance calls. There is no need for any registration process. You can use the pre-paid card from any cell / mobile phone in the world. Your Source number will ring first and after you pick up, you will than automatically be connected to your destination.

CallBlue does have a softphone, CallBlue EZ-Phone, available for download. With their PC-Phone you simply dial-up to the internet with your laptop or desktop computer, start the application and enter the pin number of the pre-paid card. Once this is authorized, you can place a call virtually to any phone you wish, may it be a cell phone, a landline or any other phone you so wish.

The CallBlue website is here. Their softphone looks intuituve and appears to be easy to use. We did not test it.

You do not need to register for services. Simply by purchasing a pre-paid card from an outlet or purchasing the card online, will get you the credits necessary to make the calls. You will be supplied with a 12-Digit PIN Code, which you will need to use every-time you wish to place a call. Either send an SMS from your mobile phone with the correct commands or visit http://www.callblue.com/ and enter the PIN, together with your source (From) Number and your destination (To) number.
