What is InstaVoice ReachMe?
It’s a new-gen voice-over-data app, which allows you to save roaming costs when you travel. You will receive free incoming calls on roaming over data or WiFi.
How does it work?
Download the app and activate roaming mode. All incoming calls to your number, are converted to data calls, which are received in the app. Just like a WhatsApp call. All you need to have, is an active internet connection.
How is it different from WhatsApp?
Unlike WhatsApp, the calling party does not need to have an app to call you. It’s a regular voice call that can be initiated from a mobile or land phone. Receiver just needs to have an active data connection, and all calls come to you.
How can ReachMe help Telcos?
We can work with Telcos to offer ReachMe as a roaming solution for the ever-increasing frequent traveler base. Costs to Telcos are abysmally low, which means Telcos can design attractive roaming experiences for consumers.
When can you use ReachMe?
The first and the most useful application of ReachMe is when you’re traveling abroad. You can save a lot of international roaming fees with ReachMe. All you have to do is enable the international roaming mode, and all incoming calls to your number will be converted to VoIP calls, which can be answered in the app, over data. Simply connect to a WiFi hotspot or a data from a local SIM and you’re good to go! • The second use case is when your phone is unreachable due to poor network connectivity - such as your basement or garage. You can simply connect to your WiFi and get incoming calls in the app - even when you’re unreachable!
What are the charges?
ReachMe is currently free for consumers in a select set of countries including US, UK and Spain.
