The Bobsled free VOIP calling solution providing unlimited message services is being made available by T-Mobile USA, helping customers send and receive individual as well as group messages. The Bobsled messaging app was jointly developed by T-Mobile and the folks at HDmessaging, making it possible for Android users to not only send text messages, but also media rich messages such as video and photos via any open connection. Communication with iOS, BlackBerry, or WindowsPhone smartphones is not carrier dependent. Google’s Android Market has Bobsled available as a downloadable application.

The initial version of Bobsled was first made available from T-Mobile back in April 2011 using Vivox’s VoiceEverywhere technology. Without conventional dialing, Bobsled Calling allows users to communicate with Facebook users logged into chat enabling free Internet calls. Only the call initiator is required to be a T-Mobile subscriber in this scenario.
