Mobile VOIP application for Symbian smartphones available from WiFiMobile

CTIA Wireless, March 27th 2007, Orlando, Florida - WiFiMobile today launched a Mobile VOIP service for Symbian smartphones 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 utilizing a network operator data plan.

The WiFiMobile service is available at www.wifimobile.com for select Nokia S60 devices. 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 are the first in the world to also enable VOIP calls to be made over a conventional GSM service. This type of call is routed 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 certain Nokia S60 handsets as an extension to their corporate IP PBX. This allows IT/Telecom Managers to carefully control their company’s forever escalating mobile phone costs.

Founder and CEO Gerry O’Prey says: “VOIP services will even further increase the value of the ubiquitous mobile phone and WiFiMobile will continue to be an innovator of these services”.
