Raketu puts its VoIP tools into a (Windows) mobile package
By P. J. Connolly
February 15, 2008 —
To some, combining Internet telephony and mobile handsets promises liberation from the high cost of international dialing.
Raketu Communications is jumping on the mobile VoIP bandwagon, with a beta version of its VoIP communications software, designed for native operation on Windows Mobile devices, the company said late last month.
The software works with handsets meeting the requirements for PocketPC 2003 and Windows Mobile 5 and 6, letting users make low-cost and free calls around the globe. Free calling zones exist in 42 countries, according to the company, including Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, the United Kingdom and the Unites States.
“Increasingly, our users who have Windows Mobile smart phones have been requesting that Raketu run native on their handsets,” Raketu president Greg Parker said. That would avert the steep fees some carriers charge for international calls.
The company has extended its pre-paid VoIP services to cover the new platform, with 1,200 minutes included in the basic package. Mobile customers can use the service to connect to both landline and mobile phones, as well as use e-mail, instant messaging and SMS.
