What is Mobile VoIP?

Traditionally speaking, VoIP has always been linked with either a PC or a Laptop that has a working internet connection attached to it. Since it is dependent entirely on the internet access to function, VoIP services could only take place over a PC and Laptop. This made communication over long distances very easy, quick and cheaper as the PC’s and Laptops could connect via the internet and use it as the source. This made communication possible at the lowest rate with the best quality.

But when we talk about our mobile devices, VoIP communication couldn’t be made possible through them, Until Now. Within the past few years VoIP usage was limited to only those people who have a PC or a Laptop but now having a mobile device and having access to internet on that mobile device is all that is needed to run VoIP calls and other VoIP related applications. By using GPRS, 3G or Wi-Fi on these mobile devices, the users can easily use VoIP communication modes through their mobile devices.
