IPdrum Connects to Skype

LONDON -- IPdrum, an emerging leader in VoIP to mobile convergence, rolled out its highly anticipated IPdrum Mobile Skype Cable today. The IPdrum solution connects Skype to a mobile telephone - allowing users true mobility and free worldwide calling.

“Finally there is a telecom solution offering the best of both worlds; mobility and free Internet calls,” said Kjetil B. Mathisen, CEO, IPdrum. “Our product is one of the first proven solutions that will deliver IP telephony to any mobile phone.” The Swedish-Norwegian company’s revolutionary product will empower Skype users to make mobile calls worldwide over the Internet via Skype, for little or no cost. To date, there have been over 168 million downloads of the Skype software.

The company is the first to bridge VoIP and the mobile phone network with its patent-pending software and a cable that, together, can turn an old mobile handset into a wireless gateway for Skype's VoIP application. Making its international debut to media today at a London hotel, IPdrum Mobile Skype Cable is available for immediate purchase online through www.ipdrum.com and via select distributors.

“Skype’s recent acquisition by ebay is the software’s natural ticket to the masses, “said Jerry Pettersson, IPdrum founder. “IPdrum’s technology automatically extends Skype’s reach and triggers a welcome transformation to the ease and affordability of communication in the 21st century.”
