Freshtel trials mobile product through Tesco

CEO Rhonda O'Donnell claimed the new application takes just minutes to download onto a WiFi enabled mobile handset. As well as allowing customers to call and send messages to other users for free it also makes calls to other mobiles, landlines and international numbers substantially cheaper, regardless of what mobile network customers are on.

“This product gives people the option of free calls and messages to other users of the product and reduces calls to other mobiles, domestic and international landline numbers, from an existing mobile number. The trial of our converged mobile product with our retail partner Tesco is an important first step towards a commercial launch,” said O'Donnell.

Freshtel’s research and development team is working with a number of handset manufacturers in the development of the application. The product is currently only compatible with the main Nokia Wi-Fi enabled handsets such as the N95, N81, E65 and E51. “Freshtel and Tesco are monitoring the trial’s success with a view to launch,” said O'Donnell.
