Singtel locks horns with Skype, WhatsApp with new Wavee app

It's the first regional telco to launch such a service.

Singtel today took Skype and WhatsApp by the horns with the launch of Wavee, an IP-based communications app that allows users to make high-quality voice and video calls, and send instant messages.

Singtel is the first mobile operator in Southeast Asia to launch such a service.

From today till 9 July, 2015, all local data charges for Wavee usage on Singtel prepaid and postpaid lines will be waived.

The app is free to download and use from the Android Google Play and Apple App Store and does not allow advertising.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
