DeFi Mobile Expands Partnership With Nokia, Joining Industry Leaders in Forum Nokia PRO
Nokia 60 Platform Smartphone Users Rely On DeFi Global Access(TM) For Unlimited Global Voice and Data Connection Service
LONDON and SAN FRANCISCO, -- DeFi Mobile, the developer of DeFi Global Access(TM) (unlimited global voice and data connection service), announced that it has become a member of Forum Nokia PRO, a program that provides advanced technical, business development and marketing support to selected mobile software companies. As a member of Forum Nokia PRO, DeFi Mobile has the opportunity to further strengthen its relationship with Nokia, gain early access to Nokia technology and take advantage of specialized service and support provided by Nokia to help DeFi Mobile stand out in the marketplace.
DeFi Mobile continues to build its relationship with Nokia, an important partnership that is helping people around the world avoid shocking international roaming and long-distance fees. Currently, DeFi Global Access members rely on Nokia's S60 Platform Nokia Smartphones. Developed by Nokia, S60 is the world's leading smartphone platform, with more than 70 million devices already in the market.
"DeFi Global Access users are delighted with the high quality and reliability of their Nokia S60 smartphones and the ease with which they are able to use the service provided by DeFi Mobile," said Jeff Rice, CEO and co- founder of DeFi Mobile. "The ability to use the Nokia S60 platform devices as a dual-mode phone, empowered with DeFi, allows our customers to use the Nokia products to their full potential while saving thousands of dollars a year on roaming and data connection fees."
DeFi Mobile recently launched DeFi Global Access, a subscription-based service enabling its members to make and receive unlimited phone calls worldwide via Wi-Fi access to DeFi Mobile's carrier-grade, global IP network - - all for a flat monthly fee of pounds Sterling 23/ euro 29 / $40 plus tax. The service also includes unlimited worldwide Internet and data access for mobile device web browsing and e-mail.
As part of this service, DeFi Global Access members' mobile devices automatically connect to millions of private, free and commercially available access points around the world. This is the result of more than 50 global partnerships involving 75+ countries and includes 15,000+ hotels, 120+ international airports and tens of thousands of coffee shops, restaurants and marinas around the world.
DeFi Global Access members experience business-class voice quality with important features and applications including voicemail-to-email, caller-ID, call-forwarding, call-hold and call-transfer -- all with feature-rich support. DeFi members tailor these services to their specific needs via their own web-portal, which includes account management, call-logs, on-line support and self-help tools. DeFi members receive high quality customer support, including on-line support available at http://www.defimobile.com/support.
DeFi Global Access members choose the country from which their DeFi contact phone number originates, a number that will remain theirs as long as they are DeFi Global Access member. For an additional pounds Sterling 5/ euro 7 / $10 monthly fee plus tax, DeFi members can have up to three phone numbers in three different countries all ringing to the same phone. This allows customers, friends and family to place low-cost, local calls directly to DeFi Members. This service is called DeFi Global Access+ and is available as part of the sign-up process at http://www.defimobile.com. Another convenience, DeFi Global Access members can continue to use their same cellular provider phone numbers, because DeFi members use dual mode smart phones that are both Wi-Fi and cellular capable.
Leveraging DeFi's automated Wi-Fi access point connection service, DeFi Global Access members save money on data-roaming fees, connecting to the Internet and sending and receiving corporate and personal e-mail from their smartphone. DeFi members may also use Nokia's recently released Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, a fast and easy corporate e-mail solution for more than 80 million mobile devices around the world: http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1250102
DeFi Global Access is a superior to standard mobile VoIP solutions in several significant ways. By routing calls over its managed network, DeFi delivers superior call quality, eliminating the "jitter" and dropped calls synonymous with other VoIP operators. DeFi members also automatically connect to commercial Wi-Fi access points worldwide unlike DeFi competitors who require their users to purchase Wi-Fi separately, often from multiple providers, and then to connect manually.
DeFi Mobile recently announced that DeFi Global Access will be available for Apple iPhone users before the beginning of 2009. As well, DeFi Mobile is currently developing DeFi Global Access support for people who rely on other smartphone operating systems, including RIM (Blackberry), Windows Mobile, UIQ and others.
