New VoIP Service Offers Most Choices for International Calling

Tue Aug 19, 2008 10:00am EDT
From calling card to smart phone and computer dialing, VOXOFON Debuts with
Widest Range of Low-Cost Options

HOUSTON, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- People looking for a low-cost,
easy-to-use international calling service now have VOXOFON -- the newest
internet telephony service and the one with the widest range of calling
options.  VOXOFON customers don't have to give up using a calling card for
international calls, but after trying out the new service, many will want to
switch to other convenient ways to dial.
    Beginning at 1.3 cents per minute, with no additional fees, VOXOFON
international calling services allow customers to call using their computer,
their land line, their cell phone or a smart phone.
    For iPhone users, VOXOFON offers an iPhone web application that is easier
to use and has more features, including a familiar user interface, a way to
manage contacts, and no downloading or installation.  For calls from a PC,
there is no need to download any special software, and VOXOFON works on both
Windows and Linux systems with Java runtime installed.  For calling card
users, VOXOFON customers can use their accounts as virtual calling cards.
All VOXOFON services are available under a single account, providing customers
with the flexibility to use the service they find most convenient.
    An attractive option for businesses with international operations, as well
as for friends and relatives without access to a computer is VOXOFON's virtual
phone line.  The company offers local phone numbers in 54 countries, allowing
customers to make international calls while paying the local rate.  With this
service, the VOXOFON customer in the United States can set up a dedicated
local telephone line for a friend, relative or business associate in another
country.  When the number is called, it rings in the U.S., but there is no
long distance charge for the person dialing.
    Alexey Goloshubin, president and CEO of VOXOFON, points out that no other
company offers so many options.
    "We think VOXOFON will appeal to a wide audience because our customers can
use whichever services they are most familiar with," he says.  "Many people
are still using calling cards and some don't have computers and may prefer our
virtual phone numbers.  As our customers become more comfortable with the
newer technology, they can move on to that without having to change their
VOXOFON account in any way."
    VOXOFON LLC is based in Houston, Texas.  For more information or a free
