COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Jan. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vopium, the award-winning mobile VoIP service provider, has announced a major update to its flagship application for Android smartphones and tablets.

Keeping pace with rapid innovation in the Android world, Vopium's app automatically optimizes itself to match each device's resolution and screen size. The new app also includes a guided tour of Vopium's intelligent analytics of user habits and preferences that help maximize savings on local and international calls. A wizard gathers call-quality feedback and provides the per-minute rate before each call is placed.

Vopium's new app is completely integrated with the native contacts and dialer and is designed to offer users more flexibility. It automatically updates the status of contacts, indicating whether a contact's mobile device is connected to GSM, CDMA or Wi-Fi, which makes it easy to place free Wi-Fi-to-Wi-Fi calls. Vopium's app also works with Android tablets, enabling calling from Wi-Fi-only tablets like the Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi.

Additionally, the upgrades include social networking features, letting users earn Vopium calling credits through Facebook and Twitter. These features help friends and followers save money, too – all part of Vopium's drive to stay closely engaged with its global user base.

"We know the value of our users in today's highly-competitive mobile calling environment," said Vopium Chief Technology Officer Asad Parvaiz. "The addition of more user-centric product interaction recognizes that value by providing them with even more ways to communicate and save money."

"We've completely updated the Vopium app to take advantage of all of the exciting features and capabilities in each new version of Android," said Vopium CEO Tanveer Sharif. "The new app helps maintain Vopium's reputation among users, analysts and the media as a leader in providing convenient, user-friendly ways for people worldwide to communicate on their terms and within their budgets."
