Raketu announces the immediate availability of its Traditional Chinese language version. Currently customers who sign up for Raketu’s prepaid voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) dial out calling service will receive up to 1200 minutes of free calling per month for three months to over 40 countries globally. This same promotional offer will now be available for Traditional Chinese speaking consumers in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, and wherever they live in the world.

“In response to the tremendous user growth of Raketu in China, Raketu has expanded its Chinese language offering to support Traditional Chinese speaking consumers,” said Greg Parker, President of Raketu. “With our Traditional Chinese language release of Raketu, we are continuing to deliver on our promise of localization, enabling our users to use Raketu in their native language.”

Raketu is now available in English, Czech, Russian, Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese language versions.

Raketu Technical Details

Raketu runs over any Internet connection from broadband to dial-up service. Anyone with Internet access can start using Raketu immediately. Raketu uses a unique peer-to-peer (p2p) technology, which allows the highest quality VoIP calling and highest call-completion in the industry. Unlike similar p2p communications providers, Raketu does not use Supernodes, so does not have the security risk and performance problems associated with other services.

The service can be accessed via Raketu’s LaunchPad downloadable desktop application currently available to Windows and Vista users, and via RakWeb, Raketu’s web-based client requiring no software downloads. Consumers who use mobile devices like the Nokia E70 that run on the Symbian operating system (OS), Mobile Windows Smartphone models 8125/8525, and Linux-based mobile devices like the Nokia 770 can also access RakWeb from their mobile handsets at Raketu.mobi.
