Raketu brings cheap International calls to Blackberry users

Raketu has launched a Skype-like service for the 12-million-strong BlackBerry users using a web based application that requires no download for the relatively limited Blackberry processor to operate. The service uses P2P technology and offers free calls within 40 zones, cheap international calls as well as IM and TXT services. Raketu also has TV and Video on Demand functionality it wants to deploy in later releases.

I set up the service. While the lean and mean interface leaves a lot to be desired, the service quality is very good; at 2 cents a minute to ring distant international destinations (Australia) from a mobile, it’s definitely going to bring down those call charges.
