Clever Connect is a new T-Mobile mobile VoIP calling service available in the United Kingdom. It is similar to “Bobsled” in the United Kingdom and Telefonica’s “TuMe.”
T-Mobile’s Bobsled service initially allowed smart phone owners to call their Facebook friends from their mobile devices, and had expanded to provide free calls to any mobile or landline number in the United States, Canada or Puerto Rico from anywhere in the world, by using a desktop browser.
Working with Danish mobile communications company Vopium, T-Mobile in the UK created Clever Connect, available now for iOS and Android devices on the U.K. Everything Everywhere (T-Mobile parent company).
At the moment Clever Connect is only available by invitation.
Clever Connect appears to be aimed at growing T-Mobile’s out of region customer revenue, and potentially as a tool for customer acquisition, more than a way to compete with over the top mobile VoIP providers in its current areas of operation.
