Another company is joining the ever growing mobile VoIP space. It’s called Skuku and they’ve launched a Windows Mobile client to allow low-cost phone calls for the users of smartphones running Microsoft’s mobile OS.
By now you probably already know how these things work – you start the app and it will route international calls through Internet, hence saving you some money along the way. Similarly (like with other such services), inter-network calls between Skuku users are free.
On the similar note, the company also developed a USB handset and USB stick called Skuku roaming, with an idea to allow customers to place mobile calls and send SMS over Internet connections using their GSM mobile SIM card.
So when you place a call with Skuku all you pay is your local airtime and that’s it. Or to put it in other words, it’s like Truphone and Skype.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
