Vodafone VoIP Yemenat 2023
Vodafone VoIP Germany will offer IP telephony allowing customers abroad who have an internet connection to call home at the same price as if they were still in Germany.
Mobile carriers and VoIP weren’t always the best of friends, but now there are signs that may be changing.
With Vodafone’s service, users can also receive calls abroad using a PC, making roaming charges a thing of the past. However, for it to work, you need an internet connection – and it’s not always free.

Airlines are facing pressure on two fronts. The European Union is pressing carriers to lower roaming fees. VoIP telephony is integrated into some cell phones.
“The roaming market is changing, and you also have IP offers. So we have to do something for our customers,” said Marion Stolzenwald, press officer at Vodafone Germany.
Incoming calls are routed to both the mobile phone and the PC – then the user decides where to receive them.
There are two versions of the service, Messenger PC for clients and IP-Phone Pro. The functionality is the same, but customers have different menus and designs.
Users can also send SMS messages from their computers using Internet Explorer or Firefox.
So far, Messenger PC and IP-Phone Pro, co-developed with Hewlett-Packard, are only available in Germany. But Vodafone has a history of trying things out in Germany and then expanding into other countries.
“First, one country makes a pilot, and then other countries can pick it up, but there is no time frame,” said Stolzenwald.
