The VoIP Skype competitor Jego from network carrier China Mobile has rolled out worldwide across both Android and iOS devices.



Jego has many of the same features as its rival, the more established VoIP service Skype, including free calling and messaging services between users. However Jego also features HD video calls and gives users the ability to call any China-based number for $0.022 per minute, which is reportedly cheaper than Skype, which charges $0.026 per minute in addition to a connection fee.
