Mobiboo Mobile has announced
the launch of tovo  which Mobiboo says will save consumers hundreds
of pounds a year in phone charges. Mobiboo Mobile estimates that
consumers can save an average of 30% on their mobile charges and up to
50% on fixed line charges if they switch to the new tovo service. Two
tovo handsets are available now, initially at 19 Tesco stores
nationwide, and online on  the tovo website. 
The
Mobiboo phones are the tovo t450g PocketFone and the tovo t1000
HomeFone Plus.  Both, the company says, combine the freedom of a mobile
with the quality of a landline, doing everything mobile, Internet and
home phones do; but much cheaper and with the added bonus of free
calls. Using tovo, even an average-use customer can save 168 per year
on their mobile and fixed line usage; and an above-average user,
(making twice the number of average calls) can save 360 per year.
Anyone
with access to wi-fi at home, at work or a wi-fi hot spot, can use a
tovo phone to call any other phone anywhere in the world at low rates.
All calls between tovo and Mobiboo customers are free; there are no
roaming charges when abroad; and incoming calls are received for free
from any phone worldwide.
This is a major breakthrough for smart
consumers who are tired of paying huge phone bills, and who want to
find a cheaper and more flexible communications solution says Mobiboo
Mobile CEO Martin Heath. Most people are familiar with the Internet
phone, but they are cumbersome to use, need to have the PC turned on,
and can only be used in one location. Mobiboos tovo service offers all
the convenience and mobility of a mobile, but with the quality of a
landline and the low price of VoIP. Its literally like having your
Internet phone in your pocket .
