Mobiboo Launches Mobile VoIP Service

Mobile WiFi to replicate cellular experience

London, UK (PRWEB) September 8, 2006 -- Mobiboo, the UK’s first commercial VoIP WiFi network operator, today announced the official launch of its mobile VoIP service.

“The cost-savings of VoIP have already been proven by companies such as Skype. Mobiboo has gone one step further to replicate a true mix of traditional mobile, DECT and landline phone services to provide both residential and business customers with a credible alternative, thus giving real value for money. In a nut shell, a mobile number, DECT functionality and landline pricing with the additional coverage available with WiFi,” explained Richard Newsome, Commercial Director at Mobiboo.

We are delighted to be partnering with a major mobile VoIP handset manufacturer

UTStarcom gives us credibility around the world and their new handsets look fantastic. The reliability of the device is excellent and we feel that it is the first WiFi handset to really bridge the divide between VoIP and cellular mobile. Putting the right device with the right service is key to providing the best customer proposition.

There has been a massive growth in demand for mobile Voice-over-IP devices as the number of public WiFi hotspots and prevalence of wireless routers in people’s homes and offices increases. The Mobiboo service enables consumers to reap the benefits of VoIP, whilst retaining the familiarity of the traditional mobile experience.

The service enables users to make calls via UTStarcom’s F3000 whenever they are in range of an open WiFi hotspot or wireless router. Mobiboo has also partnered with The Cloud, Europe’s leading hotspot provider, giving good hotspot coverage in the UK. Mobiboo VoIP has significant cost-saving implications, both domestically and when travelling abroad, as international roaming charges become non-existent.

“We are delighted to be partnering with a major mobile VoIP handset manufacturer,” added Mr Newsome. “UTStarcom gives us credibility around the world and their new handsets look fantastic. The reliability of the device is excellent and we feel that it is the first WiFi handset to really bridge the divide between VoIP and cellular mobile. Putting the right device with the right service is key to providing the best customer proposition.”
