Mobile Voip Will Grow to 250 Million By 2012

VoIP over mobile phones give consumers the possibility to save on their phone bills.

Mobile internet technologies will be regularly used to carry voice calls within the next five years.

VoIP will pick up about 250 million users by 2012, despite very few people making use of these services now.

Dean Bubley, noted: “3G networks are increasingly capable of supporting VoIP, for both traditional mobile operators and independent internet-based VoIP challengers.”

But while mobile operators may be worried about losing call revenues to IP phone services, Mr Bubley suggested that they will finally use IP telephony themselves.

He said that VoIP will allow them to save on their cost of running their networks and offer them opportunities to launch new features for their services.
