The Mobiboo Home Buffet — unlimited landline for £34/39
Take a look.
Mobiboo, the VOIP service, has introduced a potentially exciting offer depending on your priorities. Have a read:
We just thought that you would like to know that you can now upgrade to the new Mobiboo Home Buffet package, which gives you unlimited calls in the UK for a very limited offer of just £34.95!
This package normally costs £39.95, but as an existing Mobiboo Dashboard user, you can upgrade for just £34.95 for the next 7 days!
With this package you can make unlimited calls to any fixed phones in the UK (numbers beginning 01, 02 and 03)*
Remember that with Mobiboo Dashboard you can:” Call a friend’s computer for a voice chat, FREE
” Make phone calls to anyone, anywhere, its ULTRA Low Cost
” Send instant messages - it’s quick and FREE!
” See when your friends and family are online
” Show your PC screen, live to a friend
” Exchange pictures, files and documents
” Get alerted when you receive new Messages
” Get Live Video Clips and much more
No sausage rolls, alas. Now, it doesn’t quite compare to a TalkTalk £9 quid a month special, but we shouldn’t be judging against a landline. This whole marketplace is beginning to get quite interesting. I like the idea of having a mobile service for which any landline call is free. We’re starting to see this sort of thing creep into the main mobile operator offerings (I’m thinking the Orange unlimited-landline-calls price plan which, from memory, is around £70/month).
I need to get myself a VOIP handset.
I signed up for this yesterday when I saw it in the news and it really works. I am using Mobiboo’s Dashboard product which you can download free. I have also added my sister so I can call and text her for free. I woulkd recommend this to anyone. http://www.mobiboo.com
Posted by Fiona McGrath on January 18th, 2007 at 4:48 pm.we have been using Mobiboo Dashboard for about 5 months now and have it throught the whole firm. they just launched the new business buffet packages here in the USA and we have chnaged everyone over. the $79.95 per year for business that we pay is a fraction of what AT&T and Qwest charge here. at home I have the home buffet for just $29.95 per year so that i can call our offices in Canada and Mexico free just like colorado and florida. i don’t know how mobiboo can do this but it sure is good. i wonder if they will bring out a mobile product soon … that’ll be a real; first.
Posted by Roland J. Multano on January 23rd, 2007 at 4:18 am.I have been watching this battle between Truphone and Mobiboo unravel. Mobiboo launches a great product, Truphone lanches a shit product that just doesn’t work. I tried it on like 6 different phones - I think they are just making money from poeple texting their £1 a text number (beware people!).
Mobiboo’s Dashboard product works 100% - glitch free. I called Mobiboo upa nd spoke to someone in customer care who was in the UK, and they said that they are about to launch a client for Nokia, Motorola and QTEK phones in February … hey said that unlike some other efforts it does work. I said that i would wait and see, so they offerred to let me triel it. This was like 10 days or so, ago.
I didn’t think much more of it until i saw somethign arrive inmy email and it was mobiboo for my Nokia phone. I installed it with the Nokia data suite on to my N80 and also on my 6680 and it’s brilliant. It works jsut like a normal phone but calls go via Mobiboo and not Vodafone … oh yes and there’s a sligght cost advantage too … Vodafone to Washington D.C. 87p per min - Mobiboo 1.5p per min and cystal clear. I also set my brother up in Sydney (OZ) … how he’s a grumpy bastard and things this really is better than a roast dinner.
So, I am mobibooed out, mobiboo frenzy.
Oh yeah, I just got the new home buffet package … anything with the word buffet for me is good … yummy … and god was I pleased with it. unlimited minutes in the UK for a year for £39 - now thatis value.
Truphone should be called Loophone … coz it belong in the toilet - can’t say much about Fring coz i’ve never seen it and Mobiboo, well an interesting name (wonder where it originates) - well hats and coats and gloves off to you … a fab product. As someone who spends all day every day on the phone to customers and clients i can say that just adding a headset to Mobiboo has turned my PC in to one serious bloody phone. I get like 8 calls arriving on Mobiboo dashboard and I can put them on hold, answer the next, switch between them - brill .. ALL WHILST SENDING TEXT MESSAGES
OK, there must be somethign bad about Mobiboo, nothing’s perfect. I kept looking and looking and I think I found an impurity … sometimes it shows me mate offline on the buddy list when he’s opnline but Mobiboo say that that could be a network error somewhere or some presence server not updating … but hell do I care, nah … not a jot, Mobiboo is my neeeeeeeewwww baby!
