Technology

Vopium technology enables mobile phone users to make international calls at the reduced price and exceptional sound quality of a local phone call -- with or without a WiFi or 3G connection. At the core of the Vopium service, is a software program/app that you install on your mobile phone or smartphone.

Vopium works on over 900 types of mobile phones including the latest smartphones and Apple iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile and Java platforms. It takes less than a minute to download and install the program. The app runs in the background and when you make an international call, Vopium asks your permission to use it.

If you choose to make the call through Vopium, you pay the domestic tariff along with Vopium's tariff for the call abroad, which is up to 94 % cheaper than what regular mobile operators charge. This is because Vopium automatically transfers the call to a much cheaper line of the same quality. Minutes and call plans can be purchased with all major credit cards from our website and select mobiles.

Technology highlights:

• The Vopium application is received and installed on the mobile phone and ready to use in minutes. It is adapted to most mobile phones and does not require agreements with existing mobile providers.
• When you dial an international number, the call is re-routed as a local call through a Vopium gateway and via global traffic carriers to the dialed number. The call is delivered as ordinary voice traffic in order to secure the voice quality.
• When you send a text message (SMS) the message is converted into data and sent as a data package using the built-in GPRS on the mobile phone over the Vopium-owned gateway.
• Vopium can report the balance of the account free of charge and inform prior to a call if the call can be made with the current credit amount.
• You can top-up your account directly from your mobile using a secure connection.
• You can update Vopium live from your phone so that you always have the latest version.
