Roaming VoIP providers can offer users international calls via IP/Wi-Fi access that is available in most locations using one number. Mobile operators are seeking to avoid roamers churning to alternative technologies and service providers, and the subsequent loss of revenue, by offering their own mobile-to-IP roaming mobile convergence service.
The Starhome® Mobile2IP™ solution provides GSM-to-IP and IP-to-GSM mobile services. The solution allows roamers with different devices to route incoming calls to their IP Soft Phone, GSM phone, or both, according to the location they are in (IP/GSM) and their preferences. For example, a user can be in a hotspot and choose to receive a call on either their laptop or through their mobile device (via their mobile number).
