VOXOFON Announces New Application for Roaming and International Calls on
Android Mobile Platform
Company that Debuted Last Month is First to Add Android Support

HOUSTON, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- VOXOFON, the internet telephony service
offering the widest range of options for low-cost international calling, has
become the first VoIP company to provide service for the new Android platform
built by the Open Handset Alliance.  The new service, which offers transparent
cost optimization for roaming and international calls, will be available for
use on Android phones when they become available later this year.
    VOXOFON's website, http://www.voxofon.com, has a special section on the
new application with a short video showing how to use the service.
    According to Alexey Goloshubin, president and CEO of VOXOFON, the new
application is in line with his company's philosophy of offering multiple,
inexpensive and easy-to-use options for calling.
    "The VOXOFON application on an Android phone will help users save money on
international calls without any extra steps on their part," Goloshubin said.
"They can simply place calls on the phone as usual, using the phone's address
book or keypad, and VOXOFON will just sit in the background and re-route the
international calls.  It's the perfect add-on for anybody calling or traveling
abroad."
    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.  The company already
offers an iPhone web application with a familiar user interface and a way to
manage contacts, with 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.  And for customers without access to a computer,
VOXOFON even offers local phone numbers in 54 countries, allowing customers to
make international calls while paying the local rate.
    All VOXOFON services are available under a single account, providing
customers with the flexibility to use the service they find most convenient.
    VOXOFON LLC is based in Houston, Texas.  For more information or a free
test call, go to http://www.voxofon.com.
