Nokia and SingTel announced their collaboration to bring together the best of two worlds, 2G/3G and WLAN in an integrated dual-mode telephony solution on three of the Nokia’s devices with SIP-based VoIP support – E60, E61 and the newly launched N80 Internet Edition. SingTel’s VoIP on mobile service combines the mobility of cellular and the cost-effectiveness of wireless broadband. Selected SingTel Mobile subscribers will be invited for a service trial which will allow them to use voice and data services from home and on the move through SingNet Wireless Surf Zones.
SingTel’s VoIP on mobile service will be available later this year to non-business customers on postpaid mobile plans. The service can be accessed using the WiFi network at home or through more than 330 SingTel Wireless Hotspots across the island. The subscription fees for the service will be announced in due time.
