News Update 25th Nov

SureCalls:  Telecoms team has released the SureCalls module. You can now purchase top up credits via your telecoms back office. The credits will allow you to use the following functions in the telecoms portal.

CallBack. enter your number into the call back field and the system will call you on that number. On answer you will be prompted to enter the number you wish to call. You can enter any number into the system. It can be a landline or a mobile number. It does not need to be your GWN registered mobile number.


P2P.  Enter your number into the P2P field plus he number you want to call. The system will call both numbers for you. When you answer you will hear the other number ringing. You can enter any number into the system. It can be a landline or a mobile number. It does not need to be your GWN registered mobile number.


Wephone: Dial any number in the world and the system will connect you at the discounted rates.


PhoneBook. Enter any number in the world into the phone book. You can use the speed dial function to call that number at the discounted rates.


Call Forwarding: Enter any number into the system except your GWN registered mobile number.  The system will route calls to the number you have entered. This feature only works when someone tries to call your registered mobile number uisng the phonebook speed dialer, webphone or MobiPortal dialers.


FreeCalls: Until the mobiPortal is released FreeCalls are only possible via webphone to webphone or phonebook speed dial to webphone. When you install the mobiPortal you wil lbe able to receive calls directly to your mobile phone device.


MobiPortal: Almost ready. Management have requested a couple of cosmetic tweaks. So we are going to keep you waiting just a little bit longer before the app is released.

Calling your own number: Calling your own registered mobile number using the webphone or speed dial will not work. This is like calling your mobile phone number using your mobile phone that the number is linked to. A lot of members have been trying to do this and then opening support requests to report that the system is not working !!!

Support Requests: Just a polite reminder from the support team to NOT keep asking them when things are going to happen. They simply do not know and can only give you polite responses (mostly polite). The only people who know when a specific module, app or service is going live are the developers who work on that project. Even management wiill not know until the dev team responsible tell them that a module release has been uploaded.
There are still members bombarding the support team almost every day with these future orientated question.
Support is there to assist with accounts. They cannot answer what they do not know. And by the time they do know that a service is live, you know it also via the news updates.

So please hold back from asking support ''when will .....launch''

News Update 19th Nov


Telecoms Portal: The team report they have completed the updates and server synch. They will begin to work through the accounts that are not able to access or use the webphone. Some of the issues they have already seen are things like special characters in the passwords, wrong passwords entered when registering for paid and free trial. All of these will be fixed after they look into each account.

MobiPortal: The team report that they are satisfied after further tweaks and are confident that the MobiPortal will work on all the Symbian OS phones. They should be signing off on the application by Wednesday. They apologize for the delay but as they say ''No point in releasing an application that will only work on half of the symbian phones''

Free Trial Time Out: If your free trial has expired you will get another 7 days free just as soon as the mobile services goes live. The 7 days will give you access again to the telecoms back office portal and the new MobiBrowser.

News Update 9th Oct

All accounts will be activated in the new system. When your account is activated you will be able to use the functions.


Please note: We have seen a lot of phone numbers have been entered wrongly. So we will have to manually change these.

You will be able to make and receive calls using the portal but you will not be able to receive calls to your mobile phone until the data is entered correctly.


So please do not contact support if your mobile phone can't receive calls yet. This can only happen when your number has been re entered correctly.


We estimate that over 40% of the several thousand numbers entered are wrong.


Please be patient while we sort this out for you. it may take several days to re enter all the wrong numbers.


Bonuses: The bonuses will end at midnight London time tonight. if you are still waiting for your bonus to be credited, please do not open a support request. Just give it another 24 hours and your bonus will be there.


PEPs: No more PEPs will be available after mid night London time tonight


Profit Share: The first profit share will be calculated tomorrow. We need to allow more time for all the bonus PEPs to be credited. This should be completed by 6pm tomorrow. The first profit share is expected to be just over 1 cent per PEP. We expect this to increase rapidly to several Euros per PEP over the next few months as the telecoms services are fully deployed followed by the other income streams. So please manage your expectations as only now can we move forward to deploying what will be an incredible service used by millions.

News Update 1st Oct

Telecoms office debug: The chat function was fixed on Monday. During further tests of the web dialer a random glitch was detected that has needed debugging. This was a bug that would allow the auto login connection to be made and then disconnect.
This has also been fixed now. The telecoms team are now doing further tests.

An update will be posted on Tuesday with further news re the new telecoms back office.

Mobile to Mobile Calls: we continue to test with the team and are delighted to report that so far the call quality is excellent using the international free call services. Latency is almost non existant and the audio is better than a normal mobile call. Echo cancellation, noise suppression and packet delivery are highly efficient.

Call rates: We are having our new SureCall tariff comparisons compiled. We are mostly cheaper or about the same as Skype, Google and Yahoo with almost every popular destination. We bill per second and there are no hidden connection or termination fees. What you see is what you pay.

Even with our profit margin we are still mostly cheaper than Skype, Google, Yahoo and most other companies out there....and we will be sharing our profits with you on a 50/50 split. So every time anyone in your referral network buys top up credit you will be earning instant cash commission that can build into a very healthy passive income.
