Raketu Offering VoIP for BlackBerry

Raketu VoIP for BlackBerry

Looking for cheap international calling rates on your Berry? We might have the solution for you. 

Raketu is offering low international rates through a browser-based app for your BlackBerry.

To calculate calling rates, you can use their handy rates tool. I fiddled around with it a bit and found out that I can call a land-line in Chile for 2 cents/min... Or a land-line in Belgium for 1 cent/min. Not bad. Rates do jump up though when you call a cellular line. The same call to a cell in Chile would run you 20 cents/min, and for Belgium 22 cents/min.

Why Chile and Belgium? I don't know. However I do know you should check this out to see if you'd benefit.

For more info you can visit the Raketu website.

I know VOIP is great ( I used skype at home with a local skype number for business calls) but my method for those overseas calls - an I make lots as a Canadian in Austrlia - is to buy one of those discount calling cards that you can top up and call everywhere in the world for 2 cents via my card on the Blackberry. Maybe not as sexy as VOIP but a lot easier and probably cheaper.

The tool is pretty good. The quality is great. No more phone cards = ) I wish they could actually read out entries out of the phone book, but they say they're working an many more features.
