New International Mobile Calling Services Give Users Big Savings


LinkShare  Referral  Prg Gorilla Mobile FonMonkey

London, 17 November 2008 -- You can save 95% on international calls from a mobile phone. You can make calls in the normal way; no PINS, no dialling twice. You don’t have to be bound to a PC or a fixed line to save a lot of money.

A new breed of international mobile service provider is springing up. They offer services that can be used around the world. Mobile users are finally getting a real choice of services as fixed line users have had for many years.

Simple for Some & Advanced for Others

Solutions work alongside your existing mobile phone deal. It's like having an extra pay-as-you-go service on the same handset that you just use when you want to make low cost internet or international calls. Some services provide entirely free on-net calling.

Solutions range from the very simple (you can use your existing mobile phone as it is) to those that require you to download and install an application (usually done in a few minutes). Many services make use of smartphones and though the final performance is very user-friendly set-up takes some care.

There is something for everyone covering Mobile Calling Applications (seamless call-back, call-through, mobile web-based calling, and substitute local numbers) and genuine Mobile VoIP. Each has its particular pros and cons and it is unlikely that any one solution will dominate, at least, in the medium term.

Some services offer lots additional features such as low cost SMS, contacts’ presence, IM, social networking, and security and privacy controls.

Tariffs, Services & Technologies Compared – All in One Place

To make the best choice you need to know all the options and their pros and cons. It isn’t yet the case that big savings can be made in all circumstances, for all users, all the time, wherever they may be. In some calling situations savings may be small or you might even pay too much.

As often with new markets, vendors’ descriptions of their services and their benefits are very broad. It is not always clear exactly what you are getting. The term mobile VoIP is used loosely.

A new website for users exactly addresses these issues and helps you choose a solution that suits you.
