VOIP + Net Smart Devices = Voipullar Phones   - 2,136 Views,

Voipullar? What is that? Well, take VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and combine it with a handheld Internet-able device such as a PDA or a smart phone, and what do you get? What some people are now referring to as Voipullar calling. In fact many believe that Voipullar (or VOIPullar, or VoiPullar, take your pick) calling is the next big thing.

And it makes sense. Already VOIP giants such as Skype and Vonage have an incredible traction both in the United States and elsewhere - in fact even more elsewhere, as Internet-to-Internet calls are usually free, as is the software, and is often more accessible to people in remote regions who may have no land line telephone.

Even now, savvy Internet gadgeteers are using their wifi-enabled PDAs along with Pocket Skype to make free VOIP telephone calls from their favourite free wifi hotspot.

Not wanting to miss the wave, today VOIP software provider Sipquest announced that it was working with Nortel Networks to add VOIP capability to the RIM Blackberry, and smart phones manufactured by Sony and others.

It is anticpated that cellular phone networks will offer the VOIP service access as an add-on, as they do now for highspeed Internet access from the cellphone.
