Mobile VoIP 'allows workers immediate and constant access to office phone'

People who invest in the latest mobile VoIP solutions will be in a position to effectively carry their office phone around with them everywhere they go, as the technology affords them all manner of luxuries.

Telappliant's product specialist Ershad Islam has spoken about exactly what users can expect when they add VoIP applications to their mobile handsets. For instance, they will enjoy a direct link to their office to make internal calls, while it is also simple for them to be connected to incoming communications, perhaps from clients.

Of course, they can also make inbound and outbound calls using VoIP, meaning their conversations will be run over the internet and subject to significantly smaller charges than on traditional telephone lines.

Mr Islam detailed just one of the hi-tech and innovative products on offer from Telappliant when he stated: "On our end, what we actually provide is an actual SIM [card] that you can put straight in to your mobile phone and that will allow you to be connected as an extension."

The good news for businesses in the UK and beyond is that the range and quality of mobile VoIP applications is rising all the time. Indeed, the expert noted that "pretty much" all Nokia, Android and iPhone devices will now support VoIP and will run on either Wi-Fi hotspots or 3G, so there is no reason for anybody to go without the technology.

It seems the benefits of mobile VoIP are certainly being realised, with a report by Research and Markets recently concluding that the popularity of the option is going through the roof at the moment.

The transition from softphones for laptops and PCs to the latest mobiles is gathering pace, so there is no need to, in the words of Mr Islam, "lug around" computers in order to enjoy the most reliable and cheapest calls of all.
