Tpad signs Mobile VoIP Affiliate Agreement with Nimbuzz

Tpad, the global provider of residential and business VoIP phone services, today announced a new mobile VoIP service powered by the Nimbuzz mobile platform.

Tpad, a leading provider of internet telephony services, and Nimbuzz, the most comprehensive Instant Messaging, (geo) presence, and VoIP provider, have signed an affiliate agreement in order to compete in the lucrative mobile VoIP market.

Nimbuzz offers the most comprehensive social interaction service combining Instant Messaging, (geo) presence, and VoIP. The free application is available on the mobile, PC and web, for instant messaging, location sharing, (group)calling, and file sharing across popular communities, including Skype, Windows Live Messenger (MSN), Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk, AIM, GaduGadu, Jabber, and 23 social networks including Facebook and MySpace.

Tpad will promote Nimbuzz to their customers on their website (www.tpad.com) from which customers can instantly register and download the Nimbuzz service to their mobile phone and PC. This gives them the capability of easily making free SIP / VoIP calls on their mobile phones to other Tpad users or standard low cost VoIP calls to any landline or mobile in the world.

Once users download the free Nimbuzz application for the mobile and register for free as a new user, contacts from their selected Instant Messaging communities are aggregated into a single contact list with icons indicating real-time "presence" - which contacts are online or offline and from which communities.

Nimbuzz users then can simply add their personal Tpad SIP / VoIP Settings to the application to allow their mobile phone to make and receive low cost VoIP calls anywhere in the world using their personal Tpad SIP number.

"We see these partnerships as providing real value to operators looking to increase ARPU and offer their customers full access to Instant Messaging and social networks without the risk and costs associated with setting this up themselves." comments Evert-Jaap Lugt, CEO of Nimbuzz.

Funded by Mangrove Capital Partners and staffed by award-winning developers and industry experts, Nimbuzz is bringing aggregated IM and social network chat to the mobile and PC. Nimbuzz is growing at well over 10k new users per day and serves over 10 million logins daily.

Tpad is a true global VoIP network and offers users a wide range of VoIP / SIP devices (Softphones, ATAs, IP phones or WiFi mobiles) to make free or low cost calls anywhere in the world with crystal clear quality.

"Tpad aims to provide customers with ever growing calling options and the rapidly expanding market is mobile VoIP", comments Steven Johns, Marketing Manager of Tpad. "The recently signed affiliate agreement with Nimbuzz will allow our Tpad users to freely communicate with each other across different networks worldwide. The cooperation with Nimbuzz is just the beginning of our range of new VoIP services" Johns added.

Tpad selects Voxbone as Global Provider of Local Access DID Numbers

Tpad, the global provider of the residential, mobile and business VoIP phone services, today announced that Voxbone would be the main provider for their local access DID numbers.

Local access DID numbers enable Tpad customers to receive calls in over 40 countries using direct local numbers dialled from any normal landline. Beyond the dramatic cost savings of using these local numbers, Tpad also provides any user or business a simple means to expand their global presence quickly with minimal costs.

Voxbone is a leading provider of international VoIP origination services to carriers, ITSPs, calling card operators, NGNs (Next Generation Networks), call centers and other businesses around the world.

Tpad selected Voxbone because of the huge availability of customized numbers, its high quality of service, plethora of virtual phone numbers and SIP trunks, and ultimately the immediate fast setup time it offers.

Introduced in January 2006, Tpad's free to use service enables customers to make phone calls without being next to a computer or any internet access. Customers can simply call the Tpad local access phone numbers from any landline or mobile then dial the unique Tpad SIP Number of their friend, no matter where they are in the world.

"Tpad allows everyone to benefit from the advantages of Internet VoIP calling, even if they don't have internet or PC access," said Steven Johns, Marketing Manager of Tpad. "To provide such a revolutionary free service, we needed a partner that operates globally with a high level of quality and stability. Voxbone is that ideal partner for Tpad."

Johns continued, "Tpad was one of the first VoIP Companies to offer this free service of free or ultra low-cost international phone calls from any phone device. Calling a local number connects the caller with their global Tpad contacts for the price of a local phone call, sometimes even free depending on the user's current call plan."

Voxbone leases international VoIP virtual phone numbers and worldwide origination services via VoIP to organizations in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Pacific regions. It delivers high-quality call origination and provides the global infrastructure that enables its users to expand to global markets quickly and efficiently.

Using direct inbound dial (DID) and toll free numbers from Voxbone, Tpad customers may receive inexpensive, locally dialled phone calls. Using standard VoIP hardware (ATA / Softphone / IP Phone / Nokia WiFi) users can receive these calls for free or call forward them to any landline or mobile in the world at usual low cost VoIP call rates.

Tpad launches mobile Voip on Nokia WiFi mobiles

Tpad today announced the availability of a free SMS text service that will automatically setup a WiFi enabled mass-market mobile phone that will bring free or ultra low cost mobile VoIP calls to millions.

The SMS text service is currently configured for Nokia's latest E and N series phones and will be constantly updated when leading mobile phone producers such as Samsung and Motorola release their brand new WiFi phones later this year.

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 mobile to any other landline or mobile in the world will be charged at the usual low Tpad VoIP rates.

This SMS text service has been designed to remove the need for complicated set up procedures. At Tpad, set up is easy and fast, customers simply create a free mobile account and then they will automatically receive a free SMS text that will configure their phone's SIP settings with Tpad.

Tpad integrates seamlessly with the phone using the existing address book, so there's no need to retype your contacts. Once set up to use a WiFi hotspot, the mobile connects automatically next time the phone is in range.

The beauty of this service is that no special software is needed, as it uses the inbuilt software that Nokia already has pre-installed. This ensures that there will be full compatibility with trouble free usage.

Chris Morris, Tpad's General Manager, said: "Tpad is at the forefront of the natural evolution of VoIP. First people began talking via a PC and headset, then they were tied to a fixed line IP device and now the next exciting step is Tpad mobile VoIP. Free calling has finally arrived on mass market mobiles."

Morris continued: "We are giving all new users who sign up for a free Tpad mobile account a free test call to the value of $0.50 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 10 minute call to any mobile in Pakistan using our ultra low VoIP call rates. Of course calls between Tpad users are 100% free all the time.

If you combine this with our policy of no connection fees and per second billing we are at the forefront of the new wave of mobile VoIP companies".
