Skuku Reveals Expansion Plans

Skuku, which specializes in network-based telephony solutions, has announced today that it is continuing to expand its cellular roaming network globally, having established 11 Points of Presence over the last three months. The company anticipates that it will roll out two POPs each month, bringing its services to mobile users around the world.
Skuku has so far set up servers in the UK, the US, India, France, Holland, Turkey, Mexico, Israel, Lithuania, Palestine and Jordan, and plans to announce the establishment of two additional sites in the Philippines and South Africa by the end of February.
In addition to the countries listed above, Skuku will be offering its roaming services to mobile users from Switzerland, Germany, Spain and Russia during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week.
The expansion of our network underscores the tremendous market demand for a solution that completely eliminates the cost of roaming, says Skuku VP of Sales and Marketing, Colin Blou. Offering our services to all GSM mobile users is our mission and we anticipate establishing points of presence in at least 25 countries by the end of 2009.

Skuku Roaming enables customers to place mobile calls and send text messages over Internet connections using their GSM mobile SIM Card, significantly lowering costs. Skuku is a USB handset or USB stick which, once a SIM-card has been inserted, requires the user to pay only their local airtime charges when making calls to, or taking calls from, numbers in their home country.
Skukus solutions transform the users PC into a mobile phone, retaining all of the phones features and allowing low-cost VoIP. Additionally, Skuku users can continue to enjoy all the other features of their mobile phone, including contact lists and text messaging.
Skuku will be demonstrating its technology on stand 2A124 during the Mobile World Congress.
