Tpad joins forces with Nokia to launch Mobile VoIP Calls on Nokia S40 Mobiles Tpad today announced the availability of an automated VoIP service that will set up a WiFi or 3G enabled mass-market Nokia mobile to bring free or low cost mobil e VoIP calls to millions. This move is intended to vigorously compete with other VoIP telephony companies such as , Vonage, and Voice by giving non-technical users the chance to benefit from the free internet call revolution. The new automated service has been designed to remove the need for any complicat ed set up procedures that put novice users off VoIP calling. At Tpad, set up is easy and fast, customers simply create a free VoIP / SIP account and then they w ill automatically receive personal VoIP / SIP settings that will instantly confi gure their Nokia phone with Tpad. Nokia's configuration service is currently configured for Nokia's latest S40 ran ge of mobile phones that include 6086, 6136, 6301, 6300i, 6260, C3-01 and the ne w touch and type X3-02 model. Mobile calls between Tpad users are free worldwide if the calls are routed over their WiFi Connection. All other PSTN calls from the user's WiFi / 3G to any oth er landlines or mobiles in the world will be charged at the usual low Tpad call rates. Tpad integrates seamlessly with Nokia S40 mobiles using the existing address boo k, so there's no need to retype your contacts from scratch. Once set up to use a WiFi hotspot, the mobile connects automatically next time the phone is in range to enable internet calling.
