Can you imagine being given the privilege of calling anyone from anywhere in the world for free? Now that is something all of us would need especially during these times. And thanks to Witel, you can do so. All you have to do is get one of these Witel Phones called the Jetter, look for a place that has good Wi-Fi connectivity and you are on your way.

The whole concept seems to be somehow familiar to Skype but the thing is, you don’t need a computer to aid you in making calls. The Jetter is all you will need, a handset that will allow you to make and receive calls on any Wi-Fi network. Using the Jetter is simple – just turn it on and enter your Witel phone number and password, and it will automatically begin sniffing for Wi-Fi networks. Once you’re on a network the phone is ready to be used.

Witel offers two calling plans priced at $9.99/mo and $19.99/mo respectively with no additional charges, no activation fees, no increases after several months, and no long-term contracts.

Witel plans are available to anyone in the world and are packed with incredible features such as:

• Free Global Witel to Witel calls – Any two Witel subscribers from anywhere in the world may place free calls.
• Free Global Incoming Calls – Say goodbye to roaming charges as incoming calls to a Witel phone are always free no matter where the subscriber may be on the planet.

The next generation mobile phone operator, 3, has reportedly managed to reduce its losses in the U.K., a great update on how they are correcting the management flaws after initially launching 6 years ago. Pre-tax losses in the year to December 2008 narrowed from £1.4 billion five years ago to £152 million, and down from £791 million a year ago. Revenues at the group, owned by Hutchison Whampoa of Hong Kong, jumped 18 per cent to £1.5 billion.

3, which has 8 per cent of the British market, with 4.9 million customers, has faced problems since it launched in 2003. A strategy based on securing high-spending customers through gimmicks such as video-calling flopped and the group was forced to lure customers with cheap tariffs.

In the early days, 3G technology, which was supposed to transform mobile phones into mini-computers, was fraught with pitfalls. The group also spent heavily acquiring new customers in competition with giants such as Vodafone and O2 — contributing to its record £1.4 billion loss in 2004. Analysts said that the group had benefited from the appointment of Kevin Russell as chief executive, with his focus on providing cheap voice and data calls.

3 has also succeeded with innovative tie-ups such as its alliance with Skype, the internet voice caller, which enables customers to make free calls on their mobile phones. The group is also the market leader for datacards.
