I am somewhat perturbed that I have been a recommended filter candidate, Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks had many a tussle over the years, I remember it well from World of sport. I will refrain from abuse to Hay but what I will say is that he is missing the point if he thinks CCR is a cheap telecom provider to be compared with those where you have to open accounts and pay by credit cards mostly in advanced. The average Joe public only call a handfull of numbers so a no say no pay service is perfect for them and they still only have a single bill to pay each quater that comes from BT. AND WHAT ABOUT THE DATA. what else could they sell to a huge data base of people for example call South Africa, perhaps something for their national holidays.
As I said H/S you are short sighted if you think this is a Telecoms play to be compared with most of the cr** links you have posted for companies who loss lead and never have or never will make a profit

They don't loss lead. I have been using www.1866.com and www.1899.com for a long time now and I get a fantastric service. If you were a subscriber to the Traders BB on this site you would see quite a bit of discussion on cheap call operators. There are quite a large number of us who use the two that I amantion above. They are clearly in the business to make a profit and they have been running for several years offering cheap calls.
I find the CCR system quite bizzare as you have to register every number that you want to call and then use a substitute number for each one. I still expect this to fall much further.

Morning all, it was interesting to see use holding strong yesterday with some fair amount of selling, dont know if it will hold today if there is more, lets hope so it could be the start of the push north.
Any way have a good day all nice and sunny once more.

Morning Q! Well, as I said yesterday, the control centre was buzzing, even to the point it was quite annoying trying to have a conversation with all the noise in the background of people talking and telephones ringing, I have certainly not heard it like that before.
The alexa rankings are looking fantastic with us nearing that top 100k spot and regardless of the comments that )'these are only hits on the website, sniff sniff') to move up from 600k level so quickly is a good sign, unless we believe perhaps Mr. Jauncey and team employ somebody to sit there all day refreshing the website!!!!!!!!
I called an acquintance last night and whilst chatting, asked him his daughters mobile number. Whist we were chatting, I entered the number and at the end of the conversation, asked him to ring the 0844 number I gave him.
5 minutes later, he rang back, after having a chat (most unexpectedly) with his daughter in college. 'How did you do that you clever b*****d' he asked!
Once I told him the 10p call to a mobile, he had me issue him with three more for his other two + son!
There's no doubt in my mind that CCR will not be waiting 18 months for any revenue additions to Envesta, I think that estimation was far too conservative and fully expect some very, very positive news when the trading update is issued.

Morning all. Really don't want to go to work today - would much rather spend it pottering in the garden! Oh, well, never mind. I am very relaxed about these shares at the mo, even though they have 'drop' days, because I just feel very confident of the company and the product. I don't feel the need to monitor them closely in case they take a turn for the worse or anything, which I always have in the past with other shares. I know my money is safe with EVS.
Got to go now. Happy hunting boys! TTFN

http://www.1899.com/ is also 10p per minute to a mobile, and no need to register any numbers! Mind you it was a pretty original way to get a friend's daughter's phone number :-)

Hi advan it is nice to see the alexa rankings looking strong, this is a sign things are moving, as you say I cant see peeps sat there all day clicking on the CCR site. I also see ADVFN is still down I think its having big probs. Did you see my post last night regarding the useful links on the CCR site is there some connection with EVS and the links as EVS have had a contract with the Asian news site, and there certainly seems to be a lot of links to sites which EVS would be targeting for business

The Alexa ratings are just a log of web site hits. It doesn't equate to new business. Thye are very unreliable as anyone can set up some html to keep polling a web site to up numbers.

Morning Taquila, nice day too for the weeding!
Kayak, 10p to a mobile , 1899? Not quite methinks!!
Mon-Fri 6pm/8am: 10p/min
Mon-Fri 8am/6pm: 10p/min
Connection fee: 3p.
There's that old 'connection fee to add in and of course your credit card details and not forgetting their statement that all your data will be passed to various people in various countries?
Which would you prefer???

One MM has dropped his price already this morning. IT looks like being a red day for EVS.
The Level 2 is very good on this site. It has a number of very good extra features.
Maybe MAM might let some people have a short free trial of it. They have done this previously for new people.

To be fair, they do give you a 3p rate at weekends + 3p connection which is good, but most mobile use is business days!!!!

advans, I definitely prefer to be able to dial any mobile number whatsoever without first having to find a PC to register it, or having to look up in my diary the special 0844 number amongst the other 100 :-)

The www.1899.com system comes into its own after a couple of minutes when the connection charge doesn't matter and the lower per minute charge makes all the difference..
Their rates to US & Canada cannot be beaten. Connection charge of 3p and then
USA 0.5p per min
Canada 0.5p per min
UK is 0p per minute to a landline. All you pay is the connection charge and then it is free for as long as you like. No per minute charge. A fixed rate call of 3p to talk all day.

If only everybody would do this on the other side, things would be far more pleasant!
So nice not to see the same old graphs and nonsense.
Kayak, 1899 are using some lost leaders in an attempt to increase their UK business. Present UK users are approximately 5000 after years of trading, which is a bit shabby really when there are already more than that using CCR after only a couple of months!!!
It would be obvious to anybody with a brain that no company can sustain free international calls all day. It would only take one company to get wind of that and their profits would fly out their Swiss Window!
CCR have started with realistic and sustainable rates and as the wise amongst us all know, are NOT just an international call business.
When details are released of just what CCR is being utilised for, perhaps then all will be clear!!!

Kayak Its very simple once you have your new number you enter in to your mobile by editing you original number, all CCR numbers start with 0871 or 0844 so you only have to remember the ******* number quite simple. But you have to go with what suite you

advans, I tried this 10p to a mobile and ended up paying 32p for a 20 second call. It was from a pay-as-you-go (o2) into a pay-as-you-go (vodafone). Any ideas?
