O2 International Calling CardTelefonica’s acquisition of voice over IP service Jajah in 2010 has led to the launch of O2’s latest product: an International Calling Card.

The company says it’s cleaning up what it describes as a “scammy” market by offering competitive charges from just 1p per minute with no hidden catches such as connection charges, disconnection charges, maintenance fees or premium rate access numbers.

Gary Booker, O2’s Consumer General Manager, said “The International Calling Card market is notoriously grubby and we know that consumers are crying out for a quality product from a trusted brand. Our new calling card follows the successful launch of our International Favourites bolt on and is part of our strategy to grow our share of the overall international calling market.”

The O2 International Calling Card costs £5 and will be available from over 20,000 retail outlets across the UK, including O2 stores, with distribution via Elite Mobile.

ExclusiveThe future for feature phones isn't as bleak as it first appears

Mark Bridge writes:

With Hallowe’en just around the corner, thoughts turn to the departed... and it would be easy to think that the market for feature phones is in the technological graveyard. After all, Sony Ericsson has recently said it’ll be dropping feature phones from its product range in 2012. But perhaps the battle of feature phone vs smartphone isn’t over yet.

ExclusiveiPhone 4S dismantled and photographed

Mark Bridge writes:

The Apple iPhone 4S launches in the UK today - but the self-repair chaps at iFixit.com have already acquired one and have disassembled it. Everything seems to be very much as expected, despite suggestions that Siri might provide distractions along the lines of “Number five is alive - no disassemble me!”

ExclusiveApp developers can still make money from mobile advertising

Mark Bridge writes:

When I was a youngster, evangelists preached the gospel. Not the gospel according to Steve Jobs, Bart Simpson or Oprah Winfrey. The gospel of Jesus the Christ. That was all. That’s what the word meant.

In recent years, the word ‘evangelist’ has evolved to gain a wider meaning. We have Product evangelists. Customer evangelists. Developer evangelists. Technology evangelists. Even Word of Mouth evangelists (which sounds rather like being an ‘evangelism evangelist’, I reckon). Anyway, I’m sure you get the picture.
