Vonage, the US-based internet telephony company, has just launched a wireless internet (Wi-Fi) phone for the UK.
The Wi-Fi phone works by connecting to any available wireless Internet network (Hotspot), such as at many airports, hotels, coffee shops or even at home. The phone works worldwide in a similar way at no extra cost. Total Hotspots allows you to easily discover the location of many hotspots around the world.
The recent partnership between Vonage and The Cloud, Europe’s largest Wi-Fi operator, gives the wireless internet phone unrestricted access to a large number of hotspots including all major UK airports, First Great Western train stations, Coffee Republic outlets, Little Chef cafes, Swallow Hotels, as well as over 4,000 pubs and regional hotels across the UK. This should increase signal availability considerably.
The WiFi UTStarcom F1000 is a pocket-sized, wireless Internet phone that uses Vonage service by connecting to wireless Internet access points worldwide, also known as WiFi hotspots. It’s an easy way to bring your Vonage service anywhere.
says Vonage. The phone currently costs £89.99 (after rebate) plus subscription fees of £7.99 per month.
