FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WiFiMobile launches mobile VOIP
application for Nokia S60 devices.
Los Angeles, California 12th April 2007
WiFiMobile today launched a Mobile VOIP service on
the Nokia S60 handsets which enables users to make free calls to each
other over Wi-Fi
regardless of location. Mobile VOIP calls can also be made where no Wi-Fi
connection is available by utilising a network operator data plan.
The WiFiMobile service is available at
www.wifimobile.com. Using the basic service users can call other
VOIP users completely for free. A premium service is also available that
permits calls to be made to ordinary landlines or mobile phones at
heavily discounted costs.
Calls can be made when the user is in a Wi-Fi zone.
Alternatively WiFiMobile also enables VOIP calls to be made over a
conventional GSM service by routing the call over an existing 3G data
plan. In either of these situations VOIP calls will not eat up any
bundled voice minutes.
Configuration is as easy as entering your existing
mobile phone number and receiving a text – no need for manual
configuration of complicated parameters.
An additional available feature that will be
attractive to corporate users is that they can immediately use select
Nokia S60 devices as an extension to their corporate IP PBX. This allows
IT/Telecom Managers to carefully control their company’s continuously
escalating mobile phone costs. IT Managers can re-program VOIP
parameters for all of their employees’ mobiles at the touch of a button.
Founder and CEO Gerry O’Prey says: “Thanks to
WiFiMobile gone are the days of having to configure complicated SIP
settings. Just go on our web site enter your details and your mobile
will have VOIP service or be connected to your corporate IP PBX at the
touch of a button. This will make mobile VOIP a reality for both the
employee and IT Manager”.
S60 built on Symbian OS is the world’s leading
smartphone software, with more than 84 million devices in the market.
Through its award winning user interface, extensive support for new
mobile services and the innovation potential for partner solutions, S60
provides an open and scalable business opportunity for mobile operators
and 3rd party developers.
