A new service named Cherry call ^[1] is being launched, and claims to make cheap calls without SIM card. Definitely worth checking it out. And you ask me how is that possible? They will be using Wi-fi technology to make calls. ^[2]

Interesting concept. But will this service be available worldwide? If it would then awesome! I imagine going on a trip abroad and making cheap calls to my dear ones :).

I went forward to check the number of destinations it will be supporting and i was amazed!! Its a lot. Almost each and every country is supported. All you’ll have to do is download their software and start using their service. Calls rates are as cheap as 2.5paise/min. The best part is you can shift between SIM and WI-FI calls.

Since they would be using Wi-fi for connectivity, your phone should support Wi-fi/WLAN service. If you see, its just VOIP ^[3] calls you make over Fring ^[4] or any other VOIP service but here instead of GPRS you’ll use Wi-fi. So technically speaking this service is of no use if you don’t hangout in area with WI-FI connectivity.
