technology to the market. Vopium is dedicated to helping friends and families communicate,
regardless of where they are in the world and our rapid expansion reflects our desire to be the leading

applications, thereby enabling the firm to create a sustainable competitive advantage over other
mobile VoIP providers,” explains Frost & Sullivan Programme Manager Luke Thomas. “Considering

customers to store their address book contacts and calendar securely online. Integrated with the
