Demand for VoIP on mobile phones tipped to increase

Demand for VoIP on mobile phones tipped to increase Demand for VoIP technology on mobile phones is set to increase, according to the Internet Telephony Services Providers' Association (ITSPA).

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol and allows users to make free, or very low cost, telephone calls over the internet.

Colin Duffy, council member for ITSPA and chief executive of Voipfone believes that VoIP services can help business owners communicate more effectively with their teams from out of the office.

He said: "What I think will be the proper solution to proper mobile VoIP is a dual phone - an old-fashioned cellphone that is also a VoIP phone simultaneously, so that when it picks up a Wi-Fi signal it uses that instead of the mobile network.

"It's still a very juvenile technology, partly because the networks and phones aren't all there yet, partly because the mobile network operators try to stop you using it, and partly because the technologies are still a bit wacky. But it is there and available, and coming now."
