Voxofon First to Announce Mobile VoIP for Windows Phone 7

Voxofon – a leading provider of mobile IP-based communication services – is extending its communication platform with support for the new Windows® Phone 7 by Microsoft® when it becomes available later this year, allowing users of the new smartphone to make long distance calls directly from their smartphones at up to 98% savings over traditional telecom prices.

Voxofon has been consistently out front in identifying and addressing communication needs. Its technology augments mobile convergence, bringing mobility to a whole new level by allowing a mobile device to optimize call costs and ensure security on-the-go.

A leader in providing convenient mobile applications for its VoIP service, Voxofon pioneered similar applications for iPhone™, Android™, BlackBerry®, and the Palm® Pre™ and Pixi™ smartphones. Users have praised its service as "by far the best, cheapest and easiest to use," "flawless," and a "must-have application."

"VoIP for smartphones is a relatively new and welcome development, since mobile phone users have traditionally paid a premium for long-distance service," says Voxofon CEO Alexey Goloshubin. "The rapidly expanding demand for smartphones for both personal and business use has increased demand for cost-saving applications such as Voxofon Call Abroad."

Voxofon's international calling services allow customers to call using their smartphone, computer, land line, or a cell phone. All Voxofon services are available under a single account, providing customers with the flexibility to use the service they find most convenient.

Free Calls to VoIP and IM destinations from Palm Pre and Pixi

We are announcing a new version of our Palm® webOS™ application that allows our customers to make calls to users of Skype, Google Talk and Gizmo5, as well as SIP destinations, using local phone rates with no additional charges.

The application is currently only available for Palm® Pre™ and Pixi™ and can be downloaded from Palm App Catalog.

Unlike similar applications for other smartphones, we do not require the caller to be a user of any IM service or provide any passwords.


The application is easy to use. For example, if you want to call a friend with Skype, just start the Voxofon application on the Pre or Pixi phone, enter the Skype username and you can instantly speak from the phone to your friend who is sitting in front of a computer using Skype somewhere in the world.

We do not charge for this service, and with most phone plans the caller will be using only local minutes.
