VoIP and Mobile

08 November 2007

Many computer users are making free phone calls through programs such as Skype that use the internet instead of the phone system.

The VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) or 'Internet Telephony' facility has been every jabber's dream come true. While people can commonly use this facility through the good-old PC, they could only wish to access this facility through a regular "non-smart phone", until now.

TringMe, an Indian-based firm that earlier developed a VoIP service for Smart phones, has now extended its service to basic, low-end mobile phones. To avail this 'Push & Talk' service, all one needs to do is send an SMS to TringMe.

Millions of mobile users can wave goodbye to hefty bills for international calls thanks to a new service. But how good is it?

A new mobile phone service that allows users to chat with friends in China for the price of calling their local takeaway sounds too good to be true. Last month, however, such an application was launched as a free download available to almost anyone with a modern 3G phone.

People have proven that they're willing to accept ads almost anywhere in exchange for free services, and thus, ads have popped up everywhere. But one place they haven't been common is in phone service. VoIP service JAJAH wants to change that, though, and has introduced a call advertising platform that allows customers to earn credits toward their phone calls. JAJAH users could earn enough credits to cover their entire phone call this way, says the company, and advertisers will have a new way to reach potential customers.

A Netherlands-based startup is offering a sort of Swiss Army knife VoIP-IM-chat-texting program that can operate on hundreds of mobile phone handsets, according to an announcement Tuesday.

Called Nimbuzz, the all-in-one application was announced in the U.K. and the beta offering is available for download. The company has received several million dollars in backing from venture capitalists, including $10 million from Mangrove Capital Partners, which was the original backer of Skype.

Voice calls over the internet have migrated onto Apple's new iPod and iPhone products through a new application created by VoIP technology developer Raketu.

Owners of the iPhone and iPod Touch can now use their device's web browser to make a connection over the web that allows them to talk to other people around the world.

Using the scheme means that international calls can be essentially free, although a monthly subscription fee to Raketu is required.

As Mobile VoIP grows in the coming years, users will get on board via 3G networks provided by cellular handsets rather than over Wi-Fi.

That's the word from research firm Disruptive Analysis, which predicts 3G VoIP will draw more than 250 million users by 2021, as compared to less than 100 million voice users on Wi-Fi.

There will be technological and business hurdles to overcome, but the move to 3G VoIP ultimately is "inevitable," according to Disruptive Analysis's founder Dean Bubley.

Skype, the world’s most popular Internet phone call software, having made online calling as simple and reliable as text messaging, has already gone mobile some time ago.
