Internet and VOIP phones

Networking technology manufacturer D-Link this week introduced V-CLICK, a new line of unlocked, GSM/WiFi (News – Alert) phones. The devices will allow users to switch between cellular and WiFi networks with the click of a button. The company plans to ship the first models during the first quarter of next year.

The devices will feature tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900 Mhz) and 802.11 WiFi (2.4Ghz) access. Users will be able to access GSM by simply sliding a cellular service provider’s SIM Smartcard or chip into the device. The SIM Smartcard or chip can also be used to carry phone numbers and address books.

The V-CLICK also features a button that lets users automatically activate the WiFi connection feature to access Internet telephony via Opera Mobile, a browser for mobile devices to access WiFi hot spots, Web browsing and e-mail.

The device is “unlocked,” which enables customers to purchase it and use their SIMs and pre-paid SIMs from traditional GSM cellular service providers anywhere in the world.
