Skype is terrific – a free or low-cost tool to make long-distance phone calls. More than 100 million registered users can’t be wrong, right? One of Skype’s few Achilles Heels is the difficulty using it on a wireless device, which would be terrific given how expensive it can be to make a long-distance call on wirelessly. There is , however, an answer to the mobile Skype dilemma with the official launch today of Mobivix, a global calling service that which, among other things lets you make unlimited and free Skype calls and free global mobile calls between Mobivox users. I’ve been using the Montreal-based company’s service for about a week, and I love it. Using some pretty terrific voice recognition software, Mobivox has proven its value just by allowing me to call other Skype users. I like it so much, I’d pay for premium services, and I don’t offer that admission too often these days. By the way, Mobivox is dead easy to use and doesn’t involve a software download. All you do is register for the service online, and access it using a local number in more than 20 countries.
