Technology

At the core of the Vopium service is a software program that is installed on your mobile phone or Smartphone from all major manufacturers producers such as; Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Samsung, HTC and Motorola. It takes less than a minute to download and install the program which works on most newer phones. The program runs in the background and when you are making an international call you will be asked if you wish to use Vopium.

If you choose to make the call through Vopium you will pay the domestic tariff along with a tariff for the call abroad, which is up to 90 % cheaper than what the regular mobile operators are charging. This is because Vopium automatically transfers the call to a much cheaper line of the same quality. Minutes can be pre-paid through the internet and can be paid with all major credit cards.

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.
