Cork-based Cubic Telecom says it aims to offer customers free roaming calls through the use of technology developed on the back of EUR*5 million funding. The firm says its technology uses existing mobile phone networks to drive down costs.
Cubic’s core target market is the customer tired of the high costs of roaming and international calls.
Started in 2005 by telecomms blogger Pat Phelan, and now with offices in Ireland and Canada, the firm’s ‘secret weapon’ is a SIM card linked to a landline number to facilitate free roaming calls. The downside is that the user’s mobile gets a new number.
Phelan said he envisages “a world where you can use your mobile anywhere to call anyone for as long as you like and not have to worry about the cost”. He said the Cubic system was not PC-to-PC calling. “We deliver high quality telephone services direct to mobile phones.” He said it involved “no software download, nothing to configure, nothing new to learn.”
