Rebtel announces the private beta launch of its new SDK for iOS and Android. The Rebtel Voice Platform introduces a powerful yet simple tool that will now allow developers to integrate voice capabilities into any app in 15 minutes.

Now any app developer looking to add a live calling feature has the ability to stream voice to their customer base. Gaming apps like Poker and apps that offer social networking features such as picture sharing comprise the bulk of apps developed today, and are prime examples of specific use case scenarios where smartphone users could benefit from free app to app calls.

Using Rebtel's Voice Platform for in-app calling means game developers can offer players the opportunity to phone a friend for strategy tips without ever having to leave the game environment, and dating apps can now offer the ability for real-time voice calls for better matchmaking possibilities.

VoX Communications has developed its mobile VoIP app for use on the iPhone and iPad.

"This achievement is a significant step in reaching our goal of being on both Android and Apple devices. We now have to make the app ready for commercial use and integrate it into our back-office systems for automated downloads, provisioning and billing functionality."

MacCheyne continued, "Both enterprise customers and consumers have been asking us to make our mobile VoIP app available to iPhone and iPad users, and we are pleased to announce our progress with this project. We are eager to begin marketing this app to the large audience throughout the world and capitalize on the fast growing number of iOS users."

Already more than 25 million Apple iPads have been sold worldwide but no iPads are voice telephony enabled when they come out of the box. This represents a huge new market segment for Coms, as its services can be provided over the iPad’s inbuilt WiFi or GSM modem.

iPad subscribers can choose a new Coms telephone number from more than 250 area codes in the UK, including principle telephone suffixes such as London or Birmingham. The service includes free advanced telephone features such as voicemail, call forwarding, voice to email and calling line identifier display, as well as low cost call plans to all international locations.
