Skype Journal: Bombino - Mobile Conferencing with Skype Buddies
November 8, 2005 09:24 AM
Vitaly Repin of Ice Brains Software (Russia) has launched Bombino, a smart variation on a Skype call forwarding plug-in. With Bombino you connect your mobile to Skype and use it to call your buddies or even create conference calls. In some countries this strategy wil work well with a prepaid mobile account. Thus it has some similarities to what Jyve and iSkoot offer. However, Vitaly goes further in integrating it with SMS. He's creatively used the SMS Gateway from Connectotel. All you have to do is SMS Bombino to launch your call or conference. This will only works with GSM phones. Bombino is available for Windows and Linux. Bombino has a 10 day trial period. After that it is 10 Euros.
Further details are described in the Bombino Manual. Comands are simple and described there. Vitaly has also built in additional security measures so no one can hijack your Bombino. Who knows, this almost looks like a service opportunity.

We've just release new version of Bombino. We call it "Vuoksa".
Key features: Web commands — it is possible to send commands to Bombino not only from your GSM phone but from the Web also. An ability to destroy conference connection (hang up) upon conference initiator disconnection. Multi-language interface support — russian language pack is added. As usually, several bugs were fixed :-)
