Honest 836 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 Roaming Abroad? Try Skuku! Skuku has announced a USB handset device called Skuku Stick for its Skuku Phone lineup which is an operator-independent phone intended for eliminating international roaming charges. VoIP calls and text messages can be sent and received at home country airtime charges through the home country SIM card by using the Skuku Stick with a PC. The Skuku Stick is a USB stick (like a USB modem), where the SIM card is inserted for turning the computer into a soft phone. Now the user can make and receive calls from the home country and pay home country airtime charges in place of international roaming charges. By using the home country SIM card, the user can retain the same phone number along with phonebook as well as other features. International calls can be made and received at low-IP tariffs using the Skuku phone while Skuku-to-Skuku calls are free. Skuku phone will also be available for release in India in early September of this year and shortly after in the UK and the US. Courtesy : Techtree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
