new services coming from united mobile?!

[bourbonkiller]

Dear all,

I work in switzerland and read in the newspaper some weeks ago an interresting article about united mobile and that you can save lots of money with it when travelling abroad. So this is nothing new to me since I do own such a united mobile SIM.

At the end of that article the GM has been cited that untied mobile will offer new services like "free calls over internet" starting from autum this year.

Has anyone else heard that or is it just a press gag?

Haven't heard anything about this but it wouldn't surprise me if they rolled out new telecom services to compete with all the new callback sim cards that have been introduced in the last year or two.
Their rumored services sounds to me a lot like the Skype service that's owned by eBay. Have tried Skype-Out but sometimes the voice quality isn't the best or I can't get touch-tone pass through to work once I get a connection.
What I would really like to see with United Mobile is GPRS data and MMS message data services, but I'm not holding my breath...
