It looks like T-Mobile UK is going to offer a competitor to Skype and Rebtel in order to keep revenue from going elsewhere when it comes to international long distance. The new service called CleverConnect is different than what they offer in the USA using the Kineto UMA stack in select phones that allows for Wi-Fi calling from any hotspot by connect to their network over the Internet.
CleverConnect will be an app, similar to client Truphone's app, and will be available on iOS and Android platforms only-with a twist, according to IT Portal. The twist is the auto-selection of the best available network, Wi-Fi or 3G.
Techcrunch has more details, including rates, and draws the comparison to Bobsled. They revealed that the app has been developed by former mVoip client Vopium.
