Morodo, a company that says it offers cheap international calls through its facility MO-Call, today announced an expansion to its service.
According to the company, customers can now use MO-Call in any one of more than 1,000 different mobiles, from over 30 different mobile manufacturers worldwide.
Using MO-Call, people can make cost-effective international calls from their mobile phones, without the need to change mobile number, SIM or network, the company said. MO-Call does not incur any roaming charges, officials say.
MO-Call is a virtual mobile network that works by means of a software plug-in installed on a mobile phone. The MO-Call plug-in routes calls to Morodo network and helps customers save mobile network operator fees, Morodo said. The plug-in can be installed on most mobile phones, company officials say, and Morodo offers free downloadable version of the plug-in on its company Web site.
MO-Call has been developed on popular platforms such as Java, Symbian, Microsoft Mobile and Research In Motion and uses a variety of telephony technologies, company officials say.
According to James Barnes, group technical director of Morodo, the company intends to provide software applications for every popular mobile device group, operating system and manufacturer.
“From a EUR 5,000 Gresso to a $25 Nokia, MO-Call just works. For those few mobiles that remain unsupported, we offer customers low-cost calling, direct from a device at our mobile Web site,” Barnes said.
“It’s yet another great leap forward for MO-Call. Expanding the device footprint is essential when addressing a global market,” said Andrew Reid, managing director of Morodo. “We have MO-Call customers in over 150 countries, using a wonderful mix of mobiles, some old, some new. We configure MO-Call for every new device and we’re working back into the legacy mobiles as well.”
Last month, MO-Call announced its availability in 39 countries and that it has support in 12 languages, including Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), Danish, English, French, Greek, Polish, Portuguese Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
