Ouno can be used with a mobile phone in two more ways than a standard phone line. One you can SMS text message “ouno” and the i-Name you would like to reach to 41-411 and the call will be connected (first to you, then the other party). Otherwise you can browse to “http://m.ouno.com” on your mobile phone, enter the i-Name you would like to reach then it will look up the i-Name and provide a link to call (using only your phone minutes) and skipping a possible SMS text messaging charge. The number you call must be public to connect the call, and you also reveal the number you are calling from, when you use the internet option. Even though sometimes it may be more convenient or cheaper than using SMS text messaging.
However if you verify your phone using SMS text messaging under the account menu. Then Ouno will send you a SMS message with a specially encoded link to click to verify your phone number. While doing that we can also associate your phone browser with a phone number. This means that instead of a “find” button when using the mobile internet option, you will be provided with a “call” button.
When you use the “call” button your call will be connected just as if you had used the SMS text messaging option. First you will be called, then your party will be connected. It will be almost as if you are using the native dialer. No SMS text message, just enter the i-Name and press call. This week we are releasing the new iPhone web-based dialer. No apps to download or search for, if you like you can bookmark, “http://m.ouno.com” and it will act alot like a native app. Pretty cool stuff if you ask us.
