Nimbuzz and Voxbone Offer Mobile VoIP Without 3G and Wi-Fi

By , About.com GuideJune 29, 2009

Follow me on:

Mobile VoIP telephony is looking out for its independence from restrictive Wi-Fi and expensive 3G, although it is nice and and at times economical to be able to use them from time to time. Nimbuzz is among those that believe that VoIP should be available everywhere, not only within 3G and Wi-Fi networks. Nimbuzz wants to be a truly mass-market application. It is a mobile social communication application that allows VoIP calls and chat across many IM platforms and social networks. It has the advantage of running on all Internet-capable handsets and can smartly shift between Wi-Fi, 3G and mobile networks.

Now Nimbuzz works together with Voxbone, which is a provider of worldwide, local and toll-free numbers. Voxbone has its own own private intercontinental VoIP network, over which it offers the numbers. The Nimbuzz-Voxbone partnership can be very powerful for us users. When Nimbuzz adds the DID numbers to its service, mobile VoIP - with its tremendous advantage of mass saving on phone calls, plus the features - can be offered outside Internet connectivity areas and 3G networks in more than 50 countries. You get to do that with any handset that is Internet-enabled. Nimbuzz hasn't been very talkative about that, but watch out for the release.

Use Vopium for calls during travelling. It will cost you international call with 90% off rates and without any roaming charges. This will certainly reduce your calling budget at least.
