Cloud Phone

A new mobile phone solution which allows the user to access the data using cloud technology without changing the handset or device. Since all the datas are stored in one place over the internet, the chances of losing the same is very less.

An UK based company Movirtu has developed an email like concept for Cloud Phone. In this concept, the user has to buy a card from the local service providers and log in to their accounts with the user id and password from any mobile phone where they can make and receive calls, sms, mms, and any other service provides by the service providers. This concept involved two parties, the mobile phone user and the lender. The lender will get the credits for the usage.

Since the user can not log in all the times, the user can not receive the calls all the time. They can inform the log in time in advance to the other parties for receiving the calls. And the user can share their user id and password to their friends or relatives so that they can check the users accounts when ever they have access to some mobile phones.

This concept may not be interesting for the developed or developing countries where normally peoples has more than one hand set. But Movirtu is claiming that their concept will help the users to track all of their calls and messages in one place.
