Barablu Launches Free
Calls From GSM Mobile to GSM Mobile (Wi-Fi enabled Service)
Nokia
9500 & i-mate Smartphone Announced as First Compatible Phones
Barcelona, 16 February
2006:
Barablu, the free calls community, today launched the world’s
first free mobile-to-mobile calls between users and reduced-rate calls
to friends outside of the Barablu network. The package runs on this
year’s technology hit, VoIP over Wireless LAN, and is
available
to anybody with a compatible GSM mobile phone (Wi-Fi
enabled). At
this stage this includes the Nokia 9500 (Symbian Series 80) and i-mate
SP5 SP5m (Window Mobile for Smartphone 5.0).
Barablu already offers consumers user-friendly advanced VoIP services
with rates that are competitive to Skype. Now, the company believes it
can attract greater traffic to its network by offering free
mobile-to-mobile calls before any of its competitors and free chat, a
unique PC-to-mobile instant messaging service. It also plans
to
drive growth by strategically linking with additional Wi-Fi network
providers, manufacturers, mobile operators and PC and IP phone*
manufacturers to offer more choice, therefore appealing to the widest
audience.
* IP phones are an alternative
to mobiles phones and utilise SIM cards
to access the GSM network. IP telephony enables data and
video to be
routed via a single cable over a LAN, WAN or Internet Voice over IP.
Barablu MD, Baskaran Allirajah, says, “There are currently
millions of people globally who are benefiting from free PC-to-PC calls
via VoIP. Barablu is the first company to push this
technology
out into the mobile arena by offering free mobile-to-mobile calls,
utilising VoIP, via a Wi-FI standard. ”

About VoIP
VoIP means Voice over Internet Protocol and is a technology for
transmitting ordinary telephone calls over the internet using
packet-linked routes. It is also called IP
telephony. VoIP
is quite simply a way of utilising the internet for telephone
conversations. The primary motivations for doing so are cost
and
convenience as VoIP is significantly less expensive than typical
telephone long distance packages. VoIP also offers the
advantage
of allowing one high speed internet connection to serve multiple phone
lines. You can use VoIP to make and receive calls using your
ethernet broadband Internet connection. The sound quality of
calls is just as high as a call made from an ordinary phone.
