Vopium A/S Presents at Russia and CIS Telecoms Executive Forum, Jan-21-2013 . Venue: Marriott Tverskay, Moscow, Russia. Speakers: Ina Pontoppidan, Director of Strategy and Partnerships, Tanveer Sharif, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Vopium A/S has announced a major update to its flagship application for Android smartphones and tablets. The new version of Vopium for Android features a streamlined user interface that improves communications and enhances the user experience. Keeping pace with rapid innovation in the Android world, Vopium's app automatically optimizes itself to match each device's resolution and screen size. The new app also includes a guided tour of Vopium's intelligent analytics of user habits and preferences that help maximize savings on local and international calls. A wizard gathers call-quality feedback and provides the per-minute rate before each call is placed. Vopium's new app is completely integrated with the native contacts and dialer and is designed to offer users more flexibility. It automatically updates the status of contacts, indicating whether a contact's mobile device is connected to GSM, CDMA or Wi-Fi, which makes it easy to place free Wi-Fi-to-Wi-Fi calls. Vopium's app also works with Android tablets, enabling calling from Wi-Fi-only tablets like the Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi. Additionally, the upgrades include social networking features, letting users earn Vopium calling credits through Facebook and Twitter. These features help friends and followers save money, too -- all part of Vopium's drive to stay closely engaged with its global user base.

Vopium A/S provided consumers and business users with free international and domestic Wi-Fi calls, as well as international calls over GSM and CDMA for as little as less than 1 cent per minute. The Vopium app does not require users to connect with a local call, a major limitation of many other Wi-Fi calling apps. Unlike UMA-based Wi-Fi calling services provided by a few mobile operators, the Vopium app offers least-cost routing to both mobile and landline numbers whenever you're connected to Wi-Fi. This design provides users significant savings with no trade-offs in call quality U.S. BlackBerry owners can make Wi-Fi calls with Vopium to mobile or landline numbers globally without their carrier's international charges because the calls are routed through Vopium's network. When connected to Wi-Fi, there are no international-roaming charges, so when traveling internationally, Vopium users can make local and international calls to mobile or landline numbers for as little as less than 1 cent per minute. When the other party also has a Vopium app on their Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Symbian or Windows Mobile smartphone, Wi-Fi calls and text messages are free. The Vopium app makes it easy for users to know if they are connected to and placing calls via Wi-Fi. Vopium designed the app to minimize battery consumption, so users can make frequent Wi-Fi calls and still have battery life that lasts at least a full day.
