MediaRing, a global VoIP service provider, has unveiled its new MediaRing MobileVoIP, a service that offers free unlimited mobile calls amongst its users when connected to the Internet through a WiFi network.

MobileVoIP allows users to retain their existing mobile phone number, enabling them to call each other without the need to key in any special access codes. The service’s smart dialing capability assures that no additional steps are required after Internet connectivity has been established.

“The user experience when making a call is unchanged – the service does not require you to change your calling habits. Just select the number from your mobile phonebook and call,” pointed out Kaushik Patel, MediaRing’s Vice President of Global Marketing.

The smart dialing capability ensures that the user spends the least when making a call - in most cases absolutely free if both parties are connected to the service. With MediaRing MobileVoIP, users can enjoy free mobile calls to anyone, anywhere in the world.

“The service is not bound to any mobile operator. Mobile VoIP calls are made via MediaRing’s Global IP network, therefore bypassing the traditional mobile network,” Patel explained.

“In the last couple years, we have seen a significant increase in WiFi penetration, both in homes, business and in public areas. More and more cities and countries are moving towards offering WiFi connectivity to their residents. With such momentum, MediaRing MobileVoIP offers a revolutionary service that empowers mobile consumers with greater flexibility, mobility and most importantly, control. You can now decide how to place and route your local or international calls; benefit from the savings and without compromising your user experience,” Patel continued.

MediaRing MobileVoIP offers a world of low rates to any fixed-line or mobile numbers that are not on the MediaRing MobileVoIP service or not connected to Internet, regardless of the countries where the calls are made from or received.

“With MediaRing MobileVoIP, our users can enjoy rates starting from as low as $0.02 per minute for international calls. In addition, when they travel overseas, the service helps to do away with costly roaming charges,” said Patel.

MediaRing MobileVoIP is available on SIP-enabled phones with WiFi capability. These phones currently include the Nokia E & N series phones. To sign-up for MediaRing MobileVoIP, visit www.mediaringmobile.com. Sign-up is free.
