Make free Wi-Fi mobile calls with Vopium.
Posted by F. S. KAMAL on November 22nd, 2008
Vopium is a VoiP service for mobile phones that allows you to call other subscribers for free when you access the service through Wi-Fi or 3G, when you have a flat rate data package with your mobile service provider.
How does it work?
The initial step is to register at Vopium. Once your account is created, you have to download a piece of software, for your mobile phone, that takes as much download time as a new ring tone. Once the software is installed, you are ready to enjoy free Wi-Fi calls or very low rate calls if your contacts are not online.
Vopium’s software automatically detects when you are connected to WiFi, which country your are in, and whether you are calling a fixed or a mobile phone.
Before placing a long distance call, the software checks whether your Vopium contacts are on-line; if they are, your calls are routed for free.
When they are off-line, Vopium routes your international calls as a local call. You pay your local rate plus Vopium’s international calls rates. This way you always obtain the best quality possible at the lowest possible price - no matter where you are and no matter who you are calling.
