The calls from landlines are becoming so expensive that customers like me cannot even think of making international/long distances calls.Thanx to this new VoIP technology which is making it possible to call so cheaper that now we can make long distance call with out thinking too much about its cost even from our mobiles. Now we can make cheap international calls from our mobile phones..thanx to mobile VoIP service providers.. New technologies like mobile VoIP are bringing many facilities for customers like me who live abroad and need to call their family n friends back home oftenly..) I have heard a lots of good things about mobile VoIP, but also heard from my friends who have been using VoIP from quite some time that some service providers have cheap rates but not good quality some have support issues etc. Having said that they still believe that using a good VoIP service provider saves a lot of your money on daily phone calls whether it’s a local or an international calls or sending SMS.. So I am also thinking of permanently switching to some good mobile VoIP service. Last week I happen to try this new service called www.vopium.com on my Nokia 2610 as they provide you with 30 free minutes to test their services. At first I felt there was some distortion but as i continued it faded, and then I talked for about half an hour with my family and friends back in my home country without worrying too much about my pocket...I am very great ful to this new mobile VoIP te4chnology..cheers :-) First of all i would like to appreciate this effort by Joop as it will help many people to know about mobile VOIP technology.

It doesn't take an oracle to see that everything will be over IP in the near future, and if the telecoms and mobile operators don't want to become like the "little plastic disc" (i.e. music) industry they need to realise this and focus on their IP networks instead of trying to stop the inevitable. Their customers in the future will not pay by the minute but by the megabyte. In short, they will have to become ISPs. This is spot on.

I guess it has saved me around 50 euros in just two weeks. By the way, I use Truphone for calling my girlfriend in India. I guess it has saved me around 50 euros in just two weeks.
