Many of the latest Symbian systems are WiFi and
VoIP capable, so that they can browse the internet
and make and receive VoIP calls as well as
normal mobile (GSM) calls. These mobile wifi voip
can work with your modem wifi router giving you
the choice to make as little or as much calls
as you want.
The benefit being that whenever you are connected
to a WiFi Hot Spot you can give & receive
internet calls at Singapore or Tumbuktu. For example,
if you are connected to a WiFi Hot Spot in
Singapore, you could make calls from your mobile at
a standard rates or talk to colleagues on your
provider's network for free as the handset will
work exactly the same as any telephone.
www.coms.net/]VoIP Mobile on Symbian will become
an important service in the coming years as device
manufacturers exploit more powerful processors and less
costly memory to meet user needs for ever-more
'power in their pocket'. Smartphones in mid-2006 are
capable of sending and receiving email, browsing the
web (albeit at low rates) and in some cases
allowing a user to watch TV.
The challenge for the mobile operator industry is
to deliver the benefits and innovations of IP
without losing control of the network service.
