What is barablu?
In 2005, we had a very good idea.
Seeing how expensive mobile phone bills are, and how popular it had become to make free calls via a PC over the Internet, we thought "wouldn't it be great if you could make free calls on your mobile phone?"... and barablu was born.
After lots of hard work to get us off the ground, barablu became the first company to provide free calls between Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones, and launched this at 3GSM Barcelona in February 2006.
And we're still working hard. At 3GSM Asia in October 2006, we demonstrated the first, free, cross-platform mobile calls between the Wi-Fi enabled Windows Mobile and the Nokia Symbian S60.
Of course, whilst we'd love everything to be free we've got to charge for some calls, such as to normal land lines and non-barablu mobiles.
However, our barablu Out services offer calls at very attractive, low rates. Our big thing for 2007 will be a brand new version of barablu that can switch seamlessly between GSM and Wi-Fi, connecting you in the most cost-effective way without dropping your call, or losing quality.
This effectively means that you will not have to be in a Wi-Fi zone to use barablu on your mobile. How clever is that?
We're also working hard to add more mobile phones and PDAs to our growing list of supported devices, so keep looking at our site for our frequent updates.
Our philosophy is just to help everyone get together and have fun, without it costing the earth.
