Mobile VoIP solutions 'mean normal calls are no longer needed'

The interesting – and potentially money-saving – idea of mobile users opting for VoIP solutions on their handsets rather than paying for normal calls has been raised.

Mobile VoIP is a sector that is expected to grow significantly over the years to come, as more people realise the benefits of the technology also apply to devices.

Indeed, Juniper Research recently found that mobile VoIP will grow in popularity among Britons, as the rise of 3G and 4G networks makes it possible to get the very best from the solutions.

Computerworld has published a guide to the systems, asking readers: "Smartphones these days are basically mini computers, so why are we still paying for minutes?"

This may be baffling to some, as mobile VoIP solutions offer the chance to make free voice and video calls, as well as send text messages at no cost.

It is said that there is no reason to wait to adopt the technology, as it is sure to trim almost any bill.
