Mobile VoIP software firm, barablu has offered Skype and Google Talk users, a new technology that will enable them to make free calls via VoIP.

Barablu's technology is designed to allow contacts from Skype and Google Talk to be transferred to a Wi-Fi enabled mobile phone for free calls. Users can call anyone from their contact list without being tied to their PCs. In addition to voice calls, users can also send and receive free texts and voice mail, with a Wi-Fi enabled phone.

Marcus O'Reilly, Chief Marketing Officer of barablu said, "Skype and Google Talk are fantastic communication platforms but are limited but they are not available on Nokia handsets, which have 36 per cent of market share. They can now be independent of their PCs. This is a very exciting development. barablu's service is not only useful for people with Wi-Fi enabled phones who want to talk to each other for free. We also have features for people and businesses looking to save money when calling traditional landline or mobile numbers providers with barablu Out. "

The service is available through a free download. The software is sent to the mobile phone via SMS and automatically configures onto the phone in a simple operation which in less than a minute.

Marcus O'Reilly added at the 3GSM World Congress, "This is the future of telephony. Everything is going to be wireless and barablu will be at the forefront of this development".
