Telekom to launch a new service and offer free calls

There are many options if someone doesn’t want to pay for a call but still has internet connection: the Messenger, WhatsApp, and the like applications let us call anyone, anytime, for free. First among the phone companies, Telekom is going to launch a similar service, but neither the caller nor the receiver will need to have internet connection, hvg.hu writes. Customers can use it for voice-and video calls, and also for sending messages.

Immmr combines traditional phone calls and the more modern internet based calls: the customer receives a phone number which can be used by any devices. Our numbers become “virtual”; they are associated with the owner, but there’s no need for a specific phone or a SIM card. Deutsche Telekom introduced the new service during the MWC 2016 exhibition in Barcelona.

Immmr is expected to arrive to Hungary and Slovakia first: customers with iOS and Android operating systems will be able to download the application for free from the second half of 2016. It can be used to make voice- and video calls and sending messages.
