Free Internet calls come to Nokia Lumia
The possibility of free calls over the Internet has always been a point to be taken into account by users of smartphones Now, one of the applications best known and used for this comes from full form to Windows Phone 7, specifically, to the range of Lumia terminals of the Finnish Nokia We refer to Viber, an application that is on its way to becoming a social network with options very similar to WhatsApp, but with the key point of calls via Internet VoIP protocol
And, finally, this call function has arrived on this platform, although exclusively for now. Windows Phone 7 users already had the ability to download Viber and use it to be in touch via message However, the predominant note of this application was missing: free calls Now, after several months, the call function arrives exclusively for Nokia Lumia terminals
In this way, users of Nokia Lumia 900, 800 and 710 can now update or download Viber to stay in touch without spending a single euro, as long as they have a flat data rate or, the most recommended, use a WiFi connectionIn this way, they are not limited to messaging, sharing images or location, but can exchange voice comfortably. All this as if it were a normal call, although with the requirement of a good Internet connection
We say about the good Internet connection because, as announced by Viber, the calls over the Internet will be in HD or high definition Something that will be welcome given the disastrous results of other voice tools over the Internet that suffer cuts and arrive distorted by noise But it is not the only novelty of Viber for the Lumia range It also includes the possibility of creating group conversations, to be able to send messages to a group of contacts , just as WhatsApp
This new version has been developed in collaboration with Nokia, hence its exclusivity However, it seems like a low blow for the rest of the users of Windows Phone 7, who will continue to have a communication tool take, without its main function, only being able to send free messages It is to be expected that thisexclusivity is only temporary, although it is not specified in the press release.
In addition, Viber has arrived on the Bada platform of Samsung and old Nokia with operating system Symbian S40 in order to put in contact with more people from all over the world without depending on a single platform. With this, it expects to surpass the current figures, which already record more than 10 million calls a day.
The new version of Viber for the Lumia range, where you can make free calls in HD, will be available in the next days to through the revamped Windows Phone Marketplace, now called Windows Phone Store, within the special selection for these terminals. As always, it will be completely free, being necessary to associate it with a telephone number.
