Internet communications provider Raketu today released its voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) calling application for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. The new Web-based application allows Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users to make international calls totally free or at Raketu’s ultra-low cost VoIP calling rates. Additionally, users can send SMS text messages globally, and send email all from within the Raketu iPhone application.

"Whether you are traveling internationally this holiday season, or simply shopping in New York and want to reach out to people you love overseas, Raketu says Now You Can without the slightest pinch to your pocketbook," said Greg Parker, president and CEO of Raketu. "While you’re at it, SMS text your friends in Japan, then email your brother in San Francisco. Raketu’s iPhone Application does it all."

Raketu’s new iPhone Application is entirely Web-based and does not require consumers to download any software. Apple iPhone and iPod Touch users can sign up and access the service via their iPhone or iPod Touch Web browser.
