Packet 8 Mobile VoIP Trial Program Launched
8x8, provider of Packet8 voice and video services, has launched a no-obligation, no-fee trial program that lets customers of any U.S. based wireless carrier experience the dialing simplicity and call quality of the Packet8 MobileTalk mobile VoIP international calling service at no charge.
Wireless customers can download the MobileTalk application onto their mobile device and use the service at no charge until a total of $2.00 in per minute fees is reached. Packet8 MobileTalk service offers rates of $.02 to $.05 per minute for most locations in Europe and Asia.
Users can dial calls directly and natively from their mobile handset, contact list or speed dial directory without the additional keystrokes required by calling card and other reduced rate international calling services. Once the destination number is dialed or selected, the Packet8 MobileTalk software application identifies the international prefix being called and redirects the call to a local Packet8 network access number.
Over 450 Windows, Palm, RIM and Symbian-based mobile phone models, including the entire family of Blackberry phones running version 4.0 of the operating system and above and 25 Nokia models running the Symbian OS, are supported by the Packet8 MobileTalk service.
The plan requires a one-time $9.99 activation fee for the service and a monthly fee of $9.99 for non-Packet 8 subscribers.
Mobile VoIP is growing, no doubt, as shown by this Sound Track Partners forecast.
