ChatTime Introduces First Mobile App for Free International Calls Without Requiring Wi-Fi or 3G

ChatTime, the leading iPhone app for high quality international calls, now offers free calls between users. With patent pending innovation, ChatTime makes calls without requiring Wi-Fi or 3G on either end, eliminating dependence on data connections to transmit voice. An industry first, this new research makes free mobile international calling available to 1.7 billion people in 53 countries.

"ChatTime delivers the highest voice call quality available for international calls," said Dan Currie, CEO of SmartRoam. "ChatTime is offering its clients free calls when they connect with another ChatTime customer, without restricting where calls are made or answered. Our clients are the only ones who can make free mobile international calls without Wi-Fi or 3G on either end of the call."

International calls can be made countless ways, however most options come with limitations. ChatTime is convenient and calls are crystal clear, unlike competition in the telecom, calling card and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) industries. As a free download and with free calls between clients, ChatTime enables clients around the globe to try the solution without risk or cost.

Beyond its free calls offer, ChatTime continues to provide low-cost international calls over cellular networks without the need for Wi-Fi or 3G. The ChatTime app presents the best global solution for free and low-cost international calls.

The iPhone App Store

ChatTime is available in the iPhone App Store and is consistently ranked in the Top 10 Apps for the Productivity Grossing category in the US App Store. ChatTime downloads have grown at an average rate of 42 percent month to month since January 2011. Ninety percent of reviewers give ChatTime four or five stars.

According to Gartner Technology, mobile VoIP calling will not scale for mass-adoption until 4G networks are fully implemented, targeted for 2017. Currently, mobile VoIP is unreliable and inconvenient for the average mobile customer who does not want to be tethered to a Wi-Fi hotspot. Based on data from Juniper Innovation, mobile VoIP connected just 2.9 percent of the total international call traffic in 2010. ChatTime provides a solution, enabling clients to bridge calls through local networks and carry voice over cellular networks, instead of IP, for crystal clear, reliable calls.
