Say Hello to Ringo: The Smart International Calling App (Ringo.co)

Los Angeles, California based Ringo announced a new cell phone application providing an international call service as a cheaper alternative to Skype that does not require an internet connection or 3G service. Each call is routed to a local landline carrier and then transmitted through cables under the ocean, and the signal is converted back to a local landline in the area of the call recipient. The cost is roughly 25 percent less than a comparable Skype call to a cell number. The service is currently available in 16 countries: United States, Mexico, United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Spain, Poland, Japan and Hong Kong.

The Ringo app works on iOS, Android and Windows smart phones. A significant feature of the app is the lack of internet connectivity as a requirement for use. Placing a call does not require a caller to tap into any cell service carrier data limitation and even works if no internet or wifi is available. Because the calls travel over land based lines, the call sound quality is high.

As an inducement to gain usage, Ringo is offering a special deal for subscribers making calls to US cell phones using its cheaper international call Skype alternative. Calls to the US mobile phones will receive an 80 percent discount under the new plan. The cost will be $.003 per minute using Ringo.
