Now you can also make cheap calls and send text messages all over the world from your iPod Touch! Simply visit get.vopium.com from your iPod OR download Vopium to your PC or Mac from iTunes. Vopium is a free application installed on your iPod Touch (2nd generation) allowing you to turn it into a mobile phone. When your iPod is connected to WiFi, you can make calls and send text messages over the internet using your normal mobile number. You do not pay any charges to your mobile operator. You only pay Vopium’s low international call rates. You can obviously also use your iPod to make national calls. Just remember that you need to acquire a Microphone adapter to make calls. When people call or text you back, you will receive the call and text message on your regular mobile phone. Thereby you are sure to always receive the call and text, even when you are not connected to WiFi.
Thats from Vopium’s blog, posted yesterday. They say instant messaging with MSN, Skype, Gtalk, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ and Twitter is in final testing, and it works on the iPhone too. If you were wondering, Vopium had promised iPod touch support back in April, so its been a long wait!! New users still get 30 minutes and 30 SMS free, and there is a promo on with India at 2 cents a minute and Pakistan at 4 cents. Stay tuned.
