Tesco has launched a new Talkwi-fi VoIP service for mobile phones that allows it to use Wi-Fi networks to cut customer's call costs.
Putting VoIP onto the S60 phones isn't such a huge problem as the most of the handsets come with Session Initiation Protocol stack so the downloaded application is generally more about getting the right settings onto the phone than enabling it to use VoIP.
Unfortunately, Tesco is currently limited only to four Nokia S60 Smartphones, Nokia N95, N81, E65 and E51 but more are likely to be added in the near future.
When in a Wi-Fi area, in the comfort of your own home, the discomfort of your own work or some Starbucks hot-spot, you can use the app to make VoIP calls on your mobile for free to other Tesco Talkwi-fi users and for not very much to others.
The application, which can be set to run on start-up, will automatically detect whether the other person is on the same service, allowing free calls, or whether it can route the call over Wi-Fi to offer a cheaper service.
Talkwi-fi
On the PAYG package, it works out as 10p/min to mobiles and 2p/min to landlines in the UK and those in any of the Tesco top 30 international destinations as well, which presumably include useful countries rather than the likes Equatorial Guinea - no offence intended to our Equatorial Guinnean readers.
