Hybrid mobile phone promises to cut bill
UTStarcom's new GF200 cell phone, previewed at CES in Las Vegas, combines GSM and VoIP over WiFi. The GF200 looks like just another cell phone, users can get both types of functionality from the one phone that they will be carrying around anyways.
Connecting to both GSM and WiFi networks at the same time, and sending a call over either one at the push of a button will drastically reduce mobile minutes especially for people who have access to Internet at work and home.
In developing countries such as Bangladesh cell phone rates are one of the highest in the world due to limited competition among service providers as governments restrict number of operators.
