T-Mobile updated its VoIP service Bobsled with new features. The new functionality provides users with an easy way to call Facebook friends from most desktop browsers, Android-powered smartphones and tablets, as well as Apple iOS devices. In addition, the service now provides users with free calls to any mobile or landline phone number in the U.S, Canada or Puerto Rico from inside or outside the U.S. from a desktop browser.
Once signed into Bobsled in your browser, you get to call, message or voice message with your Facebook buddies for free. Dialing is not part of the equation – all you have to do is click on a friend’s name to start the conversation. Similarly, you don’t have to remember screen names to text or call a friend.
When it comes to mobile apps, these allow users to call or voice message their Facebook friends for free. Dial-out functionality is still not included in the iOS and Android apps, but we’re hoping that’s something that will be on agenda for some future app updates…

Dusan Belic
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.
