Save Up To 95% on Mobile Phone Roaming Charges
Announcing Metronet - A service which allows you make low-cost local and international calls from your mobile phone. You can save up to 95% on mobile-phone calls - even when you're roaming.
London (PRWEB) July 1, 2009 -- Fan of Skype? Well, you will love Metronet which allows you to make low-cost calls directly from your mobile phone. By opening up a free Metronet account, you can make huge savings on local and international calls - even when you're roaming abroad. Families and businesses alike can benefit.
Save Money on Roaming Rates
While Metronet uses similar technology to Skype (the calls travel over the Internet), Metronet offers much greater freedom than Skype. It allows you make low-cost local calls from your own mobile phone to other mobile phone numbers, and to landline numbers.
Below is a UK example:
Metronet offers great savings while roaming (eg. a UK mobile receiving a call while roaming elsewhere in the EU costs as little as 20p). Making a call from your UK mobile to any other mobile phone provider within the country costs just 9p per minute! And ringing abroad from the UK costs as little as 2p a minute. In fact, Metronet offers savings to all mobile phone users - irrespective of volume of calls, however the more you like to talk, the more you will save!

Q: Are these savings available anywhere in the world?
Yes. The service is compatible with most bill-pay packages in Europe and North America.
Q: How do you avail of these great savings?
To set up your own 'Metropoint' at home or in the office requires three things:
1. Ensure you have two mobile phones, which are subscribed to a common bill-pay plan.
This bill-pay plan needs to be a family or corporate plan, which offers shared minutes. In the US this is often called 'faves' or in Europe it's referred to as 'phone friends for free'.
2. Set up your own necessary equipment for your own 'Metropoint' at home or in the office.
At least one of the two mobile phones needs to have Bluetooth, and that phone needs to be physically located beside a PC which also has Bluetooth. The PC needs to have an active Internet connection, and both the PC and the phone beside it need to be on all the time. This is now your 'Metropoint'.
3. Download the free Metronet software to your PC.
Then add your family and colleagues' numbers to your account.
That's it. Start making your calls!
Q: Is making a call via a Metropoint the same as making a regular mobile phone call?
A: Yes. You simply call from your mobile phone as usual. There is no delay and the sound quality is excellent. It is similar to Skype in that the phone call uses the Internet, but the person you are calling doesn't need to have a Skype account - they just need to have a landline or a mobile phone.
Q: How does the technology work?
A: When you call someone as normal on your mobile phone, it connects with your other mobile phone located beside your PC. This mobile phone in turn, connects via Bluetooth to your PC, which makes the call to your friend or colleagues' mobile phone, or landline via the Internet.
Q: Other benefits?
A: Metronet offers free Skype forwarding as well as free unlimited calls from a mobile phone to Skype.
Q: Is this similar to what Fring.com already offers?
A: Fring.com currently offers something similar, but Metronet offers many advantages over Fring.
| | - To use Metronet an ordinary mobile phone will do fine (To use Fring you need an expensive smart phone, or iPhone).
- With Metronet, you just pay for what you use, you don't need to pay for the compulsory monthly 'data package' necessary for Fring (these cost from 33p per minute).
- To use Metronet, you don't need to install any software on your phone.
- Using Metronet doesn't violate any existing agreement with your mobile phone provider.
