It was recently announced that China Mobile has officially surpassed 500,000,000 subscribers. In other words, that’s over half a billion.

If this is hard for you to fathom, Engadget points to the fact that if China Mobile were a US carrier, they would have 1.65 phones for every single person in the country. See it a bit clearer?

Anyways this is truly an amazing milestone and it’s now only a matter of time until China Mobile passes the 1 billion subscriber mark.

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 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.
