Vopium joins the me-too iPhone VoIP app club
Stop me if you're heard this before two dozen or more times: Company starts mobile VoIP service to bypass expensive long-distance calls, using free downloadable client. Company introduces iPhone application. Do a find on "Company" and replace with "Vopium"
As a promotional incentive to get iPhone users to download the app from Apple's App store, Vopium is offering 30 minutes of free calls and 30 SMS text messages to "get started" says the press release, and then users drop into the usual and all-too-familiar world of pre-paying for credits, free call through WiFi when available, and redirecting calls along the cheapest routes via VoIP.
Net-net, we've been here before -- way too many times. Vopium joins a crowded room of mobile VoIP characters that includes established players like Skype for iPhone - with its 1 week/2 million downloads - and Truphone.

Welcome to the room!
More choices, better for us. I would like that every day there is this kind of news. We'll have to see what prices they have
By the way, we test it one month ago, the app for Java mobile phones and it was fine quality. And it's true that they give 30 min free. What we didn't like was that if you charge money they stablish 25% taxes.
