I’m here at CES 2012 in Las Vegas with 150,000+ others, and record number of exhibitors this year. The buzz for new voice control TV products from Samsung and Lenovo and talk of ‘TV Everywhere’ services from the cable operators has topped the list of exciting news this week. But T-Mobile and Vivox have some exciting news of our own to share for Bobsled users. We extended our free calling and dial-out capabilities for Bobsled Calling to the mobile platform.
Last fall, Vivox and T-Mobile introduced free calling from the web via Bobsled, which allowed users to dial-out to any landline or mobile number in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico right from the browser for free. Now, we’ve extended free calling to the mobile platform. Bobsled users can now place phone calls from their mobile and Wi-Fi enabled devices to the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico from anywhere in the world for free from the Bobsled Calling app.
Supported devices include Android-powered smartphones and tablets, and Apple iOS devices including iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. iPad users can also use the very cool dialpad in the Bobsled Calling app and the call is connected for free.
And no, you don’t have to be a T-Mobile customer to use it! How’s that for freedom of choice? Anyone can download the Bobsled Web App at bobsled.com, or the Bobsled Mobile App from the Android Marketplace or iTunes App Store and start calling friends and family online, on-the-go, anywhere on any device for free.
Bobsled just keeps getting better and better and there’s a lot more in store! We’re actively working alongside T-Mobile to develop more valuable features that will help consumers communicate their shared experiences across devices, platforms, social networks and carriers.
Have you tried Bobsled yet? If not, what are you waiting for?
