Articulation: VoIP on your Palm PDA
Use your Palm PDA to make cheap phone calls while on the move.
Auckland, New Zealand (PRWEB) August 23, 2006 -- Hampton Software Limited announces the release of a new product: Articuation for PalmOS.
PDA's have been around for several years now, although recently there seems to be a shift towards smartphone devices. Most PDA's, however, are very capable devices and can easily be used as telephones using VoIP as an alternative to the cell phone network. This technology is made even more accessible with the increase in WiFi coverage in the home, office and at public 'hotspots.'
For several years now, many PC users have been saving themselves a small fortune by using their PC to make VoIP calls instead of using the tradional telephone network (especially when calling internationally). PDAs together with the growth in WiFi coverage now allows this saving to be made while you are on the move. With the features offered by VoIP you can even take the same number used on your PC with you on to your PDA - you only need one contact number.
There is a huge selection of VoIP providers worldwide with very cheap rates when compared with cell phones; it is often free to call some destinations and many do not charge a monthly fee. Even international calls over VoIP can cost lower than 3 cents/min.
