How Vopium works:
Vopium is a free software program that uses mobile VoIP and Wi-Fi technology to reduce the cost of international phone calls on mobile whilst also maintaining excellent call quality. Free and easy to download, Vopium integrates directly with the address book on the phone, automatically re-routing all international calls via the least expensive method available. In addition to heavily discounted international calls, Vopium users can also slash the costs of sending text messages (SMS) abroad as each message only costs 9p. 
 
Call for free using Vopium Wi-Fi:
Vopium users are also able to make free and heavily discounted calls using Vopium Wi-Fi. Automatically detecting if a user is connected to Wi-Fi, Vopium Wi-Fi users can call other Vopium Wi-Fi users for free anywhere in the world. If a Vopium Wi-Fi user calls a non-Vopium Wi-Fi user, they only have to pay the reduced international Vopium rate.
