[ClickPress, Tue Mar 20 2007] Why wait for mobile VoIP? You can make free international calls from your mobile right now with Call2Abroad

Recently there has been much talk of future technologies that will enable “Skype”-style “free” Internet calling from your mobile phone. Indeed, some new handsets come with WiFi facilities built in, and operator 3 Mobile has recently partnered with Skype to enable such a service over GPRS. There are significant catches however. In the case of WiFi, use is limited to hot-spots with available wireless networks (which are subject to individual additional subscription fees). In 3 Mobile’s case, users of their service are required to purchase GPRS bundles on top of their pay-monthly contract, and again, use of the service is limited to areas with sufficiently strong connection rates. Both options are likely to cost money and drain your handset’s battery life. Additionally, 3 Mobile are also the only major network to offer such a bundle – so the majority of mobile users in the UK are at present unable to benefit from these services.

The Easy Alternative
There is however an alternative way to make free international calls – already available to all Orange, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile and O2 pay-monthly users with no additional bundles or charges. The service is provided by international call specialists Call2Abroad (www.call2abroad.com). Call2Abroad’s revolutionary service provides international calls to most worldwide destinations (such as Europe, USA, China, Australia, India) free of charge, simply by utilising your pay-monthly contract’s “any-network any-time” inclusive minutes.

How it works
There is no account to open and no registration required. Users simply prefix the international number they are dialling with one of Call2Abroad’s access numbers. When making an international call, you dial Call2Abroad then enter in the international number you want to call – Call2Abroad make the connection for you and the call just utilises your cross-network minutes, costing you no more!

Example: Assume you are an Orange customer in the UK wanting to call the UK embassy in Warsaw (Poland).
- The access number for Orange, T-Mobile and Virgin Mobile is 07744 588 885 and the number for the embassy is 00 48 22 311 00 00
- To make your call, dial 07744 588 885. You hear the Call2Abroad welcome message and enter in the international number you’re calling: 0048223110000 followed by #
- The call connects and you talk for as long as you like, just using your cross-network minutes.
- If you call someone regularly from your phonebook, you can add the Call2Abroad prefix to your contact’s entry: just edit the entry, add the access number, then a Pause, then the international number followed by #. Eg. for the embassy, it would be 07744588885p0048223110000#. Now you can call directly from your phone book! Straight-forward, hassle-free international calling at no extra charges.
