Technology is taking the world by storm, with everyone owning a mobile phone with internet capabilities. But are the mobile providers willing to incorporate mobile VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)? Orange O2 Vodafone T Mobile and 3 Mobile are the big 5 mobile phone companies in the UK and they all have a stranglehold over the mobile phone market. Companies such as Desi Mobile have tried to break in to the international calling market by having a post contract sim only plan but have failed to survive. Now most mobile phone contracts are on a 2 year basis. This makes it nearly impossible for any new entrant to make an significant impact on the UK mobile phone market. Making cheap calls to India is easy with o2 international favourites. For £10 per month you can make up to 240 minutes of calls [per day to 50 countries including Australia Brazil India Malaysia Singapore USA and Canada

VoIP has had a great impact on businesses, helping them save money on their telephone bills. They have reduced costs for both business and home users, offering cheap international calls. Now it’s whether mobile companies are going to join in on this money saving effort. With over £20 billion revenue potential forecast by 2015, isn’t it strange that these mobile companies have not jumped on board.

£400 million was achieved in 2008 by mobile VoIP companies, which is an amazing amount of revenue. With the amount of people who now own mobile phones around the world, that figure can only increase if mobile companies would get on board with mobile VoIP.

Mobile contract customers are missing out on these cheap international calls because providers are not willing to take this new technology to the next level. Nearly 75% of ISP providers refuse their customers use of this new technology via their mobile phones.

With mobile providers being unwilling to utilise the mobile VoIP system, smart phone providers such as Apple have embraced it, allowing users to reduce telephone costs using either mobile broadband connections or Wi-Fi. Many smart phone users around the world are already benefiting from the VoIP experience.

15 years ago when internet connections were not stable and providing excellent voice quality through VoIP was a challenge, it was understandable that people were not keen on embracing the new technology. But now with our fast broadband connections and our technology exceeding expectations, there is no fear of the quality being compromised, which some mobile providers are still concerned about.

Mobile companies still argue that their GSM network is more reliable than VoIP, maybe it’s because their call income could drop once their customers start saving money on calls using VoIP. But this is not the case, as customers will still use the mobile internet connection to make calls.

By refusing to use this technology, mobile providers are limiting their customers to cheap calls. But their revenue will increase as people start using the mobile VoIP on a regular basis, thereby increasing revenue. Cheaper international calls were not an option when using your mobile phone, but with mobile VoIP it is a reality. Mobile providers will miss out in the next 5 years as this exciting mobile VoIP takes the mobile world by storm.

Number porting enables you to keep your existing mobile number whilst allowing you to change to another mobile network. This used to be a painful process but OFCOM have stepped in and will make this painless.

In the UK OFCOM has stipulated that from May 2011 you will be able to port your number within 1 working day. That will make life so much easier when you are looking for new mobile contracts. The best contract to go for is the sim only contract as you can cancel this contract with only 30 days notice anytime.

Here is the simple proceedure of number porting in UK

Contact your mobile network provder for ask them for a PAC code ( porthing authorisation code)
You will need this number to give to your new mobile network company should you wish to keep your existing mobile number. If for instance you have a pay monthly contract you can easily contact o2 and get your PAC code and more to T Mobile. Its a fairly painless process although beware when calling for your PAC code your current mobile network provider will try to entice you to stay with them. One thing to bear in mind, if you are on a long term 18 month or 24 month contract you may have to pay up for the duration of the contract if you looking to move contract before your term is up.

When you have got the PAC code then you can go to sim only contracts and choose any mobile deal you fancy. Once you chosen your mobile click on the check out button and when prompted at a question if you have a number you want to bring with you, enter your PAC code along with the PAC expiry date that is given to you by your old network provider.
