Talkster (News - Alert), a company delivering online communities instant mobile voice and text communications, has officially launched its integration with GTalk2VoIP, offering callers worldwide free international, long distance and group conference calls.
Talkster’s partnership with GTalk2VoIP extends the company’s ad-supported free calling service from 34 countries to cover the entire globe.
Talkster and GTalk2VoIP partnership allows callers from any country in the world to leverage Google (News - Alert) Talk to make free calls to or from anywhere else in the world.
“In Africa, the Middle East and other places with restrictive VoIP
laws, Talkster for GTalk2VoIP offers free calling without any red tape,” said James Wanless, Talkster COO and co-founder, in a statement.
“Our mission is to bring ad-supported free telephony to the world, yet Talkster is constantly receiving requests for countries where access numbers aren’t yet available. It was important for Talkster to find a way to serve the global community, and our integration with GTalk2VoIP gives anyone in any country a way to talk to family and friends all around the world without incurring long distance and international calling charges.”
Wanless added, “This partnership is just one example of how the Talkster ad-supported voice platform can be leveraged by third parties to offer free calling to customers.”
Talkster’s voice technologies are revolutionizing ad-supported telephony with a fully-sustainable mobile advertising supported business model, which benefits both callers and advertisers.
Talkster’s Free World Dialing is one of the only service for making long distance, international, and group conference calls from any type of phone, on any network, for the cost of a local call.
“The idea behind GTalk2VoIP is not only to provide outgoing calls from GoogleTalk to ordinary telephone numbers, but make them affordable while still providing the highest possible call quality,” said Ruslan Zalata, founder of GTalk2VoIP.
“Our partnership with Talkster brings even more value to what we are offering our users, because now they can use GTalk2VoIP to make completely free unlimited international calls to any phone, landline or mobile, with no registration or credit card required. This is like the holy grail for many of our users who are spending a fortune on long distance and international calls.”
GTalk2VoIP is a free and publicly open voice gateway for major Instant Messenger clients, which enables voice interoperability between Google Talk, MSN/Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger and SIP
phones without any additional software installation.
Originally, the gateway was developed with Google Talk support only, from which it derived its name. Though all GTalk2VoIP services can be used from IM accounts without any additional downloads, the team developed its Talkonaut mobile software to expand its capabilities and to offer callers a Google Talk like application for mobile phones.
Talkonaut makes it possible to chat and make voice calls to IM clients, SIP phones and any phone number in the world, all from your mobile phone.
