Velofone: Velofone launch wVoIP service to international business travellers(M2 PressWIRE Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) RDATE:24052007 UK internet telephony service provider Velofone today announces the launch its new wVoIP service VeloMobile at London's popular Wireless Event. Offering low cost wireless VoIP communication packages to the international business traveller, VeloMobile delivers both wVoIP and cellular services on a single mobile device enabling users within over 62,000 international Wi-Fi hotspots to significantly reduce their international roaming costs on outgoing calls. The service does not require any change to the customers existing mobile contract and requires no complicated set up or manual network selection when roaming to benefit from reduced call charges. Customers simply insert their existing SIM card into their VeloMobile handset and when they are in range of a designated Wi-Fi hotspot they will automatically connect to the Velofone IP network rather than their more expensive cellular network. When out of range, the handset simply reverts to their existing network and normal charging tariff. Ideally suited to the business traveller, Velofone have selected Cicero's award winning multimode softphone to launch the VeloMobile service on the stylish HTC S620 handset. "At Velofone we believe the most critical element in wVoIP service is the end user experience and the VeloMobile S620 ticks all of these boxes, offering a simple, intuitive user experience on both Nokia and Windows Mobile devices" said Mark Gordon, MD Velofone. "Many dual-mode devices today require the subscriber to select the network to use; we have created a solution so that the handset automatically does that for them". "We are delighted that Velofone has selected CiceroPhone to enable their new VeloMobile service" said Ross Brennan, CEO Cicero Networks. "The international business traveller market is a real sweet spot for wVoIP services and one where dramatic cost savings can be achieved using wVoIP technology".
