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 setup a WiFi or 3G enabled mass-market Nokia mobile to bring free or low cost mobile VoIP calls to millions.

This move is intended to vigorously compete with other VoIP telephony companies such as Skype, Vonage, Gizmo5 and Google 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 complicated 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 will automatically receive personal VoIP / SIP settings that will instantly configure their Nokia phone with Tpad.

Nokia's configuration service is currently configured for Nokia's latest S40 range of mobile phones that include 6086, 6136, 6301, 6300i, 6260, C3-01 and the new 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 other 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 book, 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.

The beauty of this service is that no special software is needed, as it uses the inbuilt software that Nokia already has pre-installed. The user simply picks Tpad from the pre-populated VoIP provider list and enters their Tpad number and password. This ensures that there will be full compatibility with trouble free usage to make cheap internet calls.

Steven Johns, Tpad's Marketing Manager, said: "Tpad is at the forefront of the natural evolution of VoIP. First people began talking via a headset and PC, then they were tied to a fixed line IP phone device and now the next evolutionary step is Tpad mobile VoIP. Internet trouble-free calling has finally arrived on mass market Nokia mobiles."

Johns continued: "We are giving all new users who sign up for a free Tpad VoIP account a free test call to the value of $0.10 for a limited period. This will give users the chance to experience the call quality of next generation mobile VoIP.

"For example, with this free credit you can make a 5 minute call to any mobile in USA using our ultra low VoIP call rates. Of course calls between Tpad users are 100% free all the time. If you combine this with features such as call forwarding, free local DID numbers, compatibility with any SIP device (e.g. IP Phone, ATA, Softphone) we are at the forefront of the new wave of VoIP companies."

Using this Nokia service Tpad's current UK hosted business customers can use their Tpad PBX telephone system from the "Cloud" - servers housed in highly secure, geographically redundant data centers, to benefit from remote homeworking and call features such as follow me and call forwarding.

Tpad launches Managed IP PBX Solution for SME’s in the UK

For small to medium businesses looking to upgrade their traditional system for a VoIP system without having to make large upfront investments, Tpad is launching a new managed IP PBX system that runs entirely over a suitable broadband connection.

Tpad’s solution, called Tpad Pro, is designed to provide a quality service whilst saving smaller companies money (SME’s). The Tpad Pro solution provides a low cost start up package with monthly billing and a choice of VoIP / SIP handsets. Each system is custom configured, and includes auto-attendant, voicemail, call forwarding, caller ID, speed dial, and many other powerful yet easy to use features.

“With Tpad's managed IP PBX service, only a suitable broadband connection is needed, allowing companies to say goodbye to their traditional expensive carrier altogether, said Chris Morris, General Manager of Tpad.

We have designed the Tpad Pro solution to be a cost effective and user friendly as possible so non-technical staff can adapt with very little training. This means your business can have a professional front end with little upfront investment with Tpad providing the broadband connection we will endeavour to deliver a seamless one stop shop for your communication needs.” he went on.

Part of the cost savings comes from new cutting edge technology built on open standards, more specifically SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), which is driving down the cost of VoIP phones and services. These open standards give Tpad a massive advantage over larger corporate vendors whose offerings are traditionally more expensive, Morris said.

"Many competitors charge you up to £1500 for a set of fancy, over complicated IP phones to sit on your desk," he said. "With our flexible solution you can choose the right phone for your business needs, whether it will be a combination of IP Phone, ATA, PC Softphone or Nokia Mobile."

Tpad is compatible with any SIP / VoIP Device, from a standard IP Phone (e.g. Linksys / Grandstream / Snom) to the newest Mobile VoIP technology using Nokia WiFi Mobiles (N and E Series e.g. N95 / E65). Our main aim is to allow SME’s to use any type of device they desire on our global VoIP network.

Asian Business Foundation (A.B.F), a resource management firm in Blackburn, U.K, has tested our solution for several weeks. Asif Sadiq, partner with the firm said, “The greatest benefit so far has been dramatic cost savings in call costs.

"We like the idea of a pay as you go calling plan," Sadiq said. "We only pay for what calls we make so there are is no scope for wastages. We've cut our costs in half and our long-distance bill is virtually non-existent now."

The small office traded in an outdated and costly PBX that hadn't been entirely reliable or easy to use, Sadiq said.

"Now what we have is a compact computer just a little bit bigger than a laptop, and that now is our phone server," he said. "It's a very clean and very simple telephony solution.

1. Lower CAPEX Costs: Buying a traditional phone system is like buying an expensive new car, it significantly depreciates the day you place it in service. You can put that money to better use by spending less up-front by installing a VoIP managed PBX system.

2. A VoIP Managed PBX is Dynamically Scalable: Up-size and Down-size on the fly. VoIP managed PBX Service lets you buy the exact number of users you need right now - later you can add users when you actually need them. This helps preserve capital in comparison to guessing what size PBX system you need to buy today to support the number of users you think you'll have in 3 - 5 years.

A VoIP managed PBX Uses Non-Proprietary Components: When you buy a traditional PBX phone system, you're locking your company into a long term commitment to a proprietary architecture that may or may not keep pace with technological changes. Bottom line, you are betting your company's future that the proprietary technology will remain compatible with evolving industry standards. In the future, there's a good chance with a traditional PBX you'll be at the manufacturer's mercy for repair and expansion since only their parts will work with your purchase. Make sure your VoIP managed PBX system works with multiple phone manufacturers. So if you decide to move to a different system, a forklift upgrade won't be necessary.
