Truphone's New BlackBerry 10 App Will Enable Mobile VoIP and Low-Cost Global Roaming
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 07 May 2012
Release date- 01052012 - BlackBerry World 2012 / BlackBerry 10 Jam - Orlando, FL - - Truphone today announced it is developing a global roaming application to support the BlackBerry 10 platform.
The new application will let BlackBerry 10 customers make international calls and send text messages over Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE cellular networks at rates up to 90 percent cheaper than mobile operator tariffs.
The BlackBerry 10 platform's APIs, new programming tools, intuitive programming environment and developer features are enabling Truphone to slash development time and create market-differentiating features. As a result, the new Truphone app will provide a superior user experience, including reliable, high-quality Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE calling and other over-the-top (OTT) services that take advantage of the BlackBerry 10 platform.
'RIM has got it right with the BlackBerry 10 platform. They have really streamlined the app-development process,' said Adam Linford, Truphone Head of Labs and Mobile Applications. 'The platform's support for open-source components flattens the learning curve enabling us to build a new application quickly and cost-effectively and have it ready for launch.'
The BlackBerry 10 platform will also enable Truphone to accelerate its efforts to offer converged voice and data services over Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE networks to BlackBerry 10 customers. Truphone's industry firsts include the first commercial release of a Wi-Fi calling app on Nokia N and E series smartphones in 2006. Truphone released its current BlackBerry smartphone app in 2008, which provides dial-around and callback capabilities and low-cost SMS, minimizing the cost of international communications.
'Truphone's BlackBerry 10 application will be the product of two things: Our leadership in being first to market on new platforms, and RIM's visionary approach in developing a platform that's developer-friendly,' Linford said. 'Our new BlackBerry 10 solution will debut at a time when Wi-Fi offloading and other OTT services begin to reach the tipping point to become the business traveler's must-have options for reliable, global and cost-effective communications.'
