Could VoIP Take the Edge of the Credit Crunch?
If like the rest of us you’re looking how you can cut costs now the credit crunch is hitting our pockets, then a new mobile VoIP application from one of the mobile VoIP operators such as Truphone, JahJah or Fring could be exactly what you need. Many offices around the country have already made the change over to Voice over IP to take advantage of a massively cheaper way to make phone calls. Now the technology has been developed so you can take advantage of VoIP through your mobile phone. Not only is this hugely convenient but it also has the potential to save your business a substantial amount of cash. Mobile phone bills can cost businesses a substantial amount of money especially when it is a necessity to make international calls.
One problem with mobile VoIP historically has been a lack of clear sound or problem with latency where a noticeable delay was audible when having a conversation with someone. However with the development of better audio codec’s these complaints seem no longer to be an issue. Then there was the problem with the mobile VoIP client being very complicated to use with a certain degree of technical know how needed in order to be able to use it successfully. Finally there was also a problem with what mobile handsets were compatible with the mobile VoIP client. All these draw backs combined made mobile VoIP quite an unappealing option.
It certainly seems like those days are a thing of the past with mobile VoIP clients such as Fring and JahJah now operating with a wide array of popular mobile phones, including the iPhone and the BlackBerry – the smart phone of choice for the business user. As well as this they are easy to install, working seamlessly with your existing phone book. For these reasons there is little excuse not to have a mobile VoIP client installed on your phone not least because they are free to download and install. What are you waiting for start saving money on your mobile calls!
