O2 offers Tu Me app – free VoIP calls and text for the iPhone
Network operator O2 is now offering Tu Me, an app that allows free VoIP calls and text for iPhones.
The app was created by Telefónica, the parent company of O2. The app rivals Skype and Apple’s mobile instant messaging service iMessage. The app allows iPhone users to enjoy more form free calls and text, which are coursed via Wi-Fi or 3G instead of eating up your monthly minutes and text messages.
If you’re not with O2, this doesn’t mean that you can’t take advantage of the app on your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S. The people you’re chatting with or calling do not have to be with O2 either.
Currently, the Tu Me app is only available for iPhones. However, O2 promises that the app will be available for handsets running Android in the near future.
There are many VoIP apps available in the Apple App Store. However, according to O2, Tu Me is “the only app that lets you make calls, send voice messages, instant messages, photos and location from one control within one screen, with no need to switch apps or tabs”.
Will you be using the Tu Me app from O2 in your iPhone, or do you make use of something better? Let us know through a comment.
