Broadvoice Ranked Best Internet Phone Service by Wired Magazine

Filed under: VoIP — Administrator @ 4:27 am

Boston, MA,  Wired Magazine recently selected BroadVoice, Inc., a leading provider of high quality, feature-rich broadband phone services to consumers and businesses, as the number one provider of "full phone service" among Voice over IP companies. BroadVoice was also identified as the "best choice for jet-setters" and those who already have a Voice over IP phone adapter.

"Our customers have experienced BroadVoice’s advantages like quality, price, free features and convenience for over two years now. The team at BroadVoice is very proud to receive Wired Magazine’s Editors’ Top Pick for Internet phone service and we’re especially excited about how the new features and wireless devices we’re introducing will make the broadband communications experience even more rewarding for our customers," said Gene Cornfield, spokesperson for BroadVoice, Inc. "Like the editors at Wired Magazine, Americans are finding BroadVoice the number one Voice over IP provider, and consumers are increasingly purchasing BroadVoice service and devices as gifts for their loved ones to stay in touch more affordably. With the addition of this new honor from Wired Magazine, we expect to be very busy this holiday season."

According to the November 2005 Wired Magazine edition, "For people who keep homes in Manhattan, Paris, and Madrid, or just know those who do, BroadVoice is the cheapest full-service way to banter, parler, or hablar. It offers unlimited calling in the U.S. and to 20 other countries, mostly in Europe, but also a smattering in Asia and the Americas, plus Australia. You can add 14 more countries for an extra $5 per month."

Expansion plans are in the immediate future for BroadVoice due to this year’s 180 percent increase in customers. The company’s Web site attracted 233 percent more visitors this year than last.  To keep up with the steady customer demand, BroadVoice recently moved into larger offices and plans to hire more staff.

"Many people used to see Internet phone service as a viable alternative," said Cornfield. "Well, that was yesterday. Today, our Internet phone services and products are very much in the mainstream and used by businesses and people around the globe."

Skype and Boingo Team Up

Filed under: VoIP, WLAN — Administrator @ 7:22 pm

Wireless hot spot operator Boingo Wireless on Tuesday began offering dramatic discounts to users of Skype, an Internet telephony operator with tens of millions of users.

Boingo, founded by EarthLink creator Sky Dayton, makes available Wi-Fi technology to dispense high-speed Internet access. It’s currently used in about 18,000 locations. Skype is among the most popular providers of voice over Internet Protocol software for making inexpensive or free phone calls using the Internet.

Starting Tuesday, Skype users can now get unlimited access to Skype services within Boingo hot spots for $8 a month, or $3 for a two-hour connection. While use of the hot spots is restricted to Skype-only services, from Boingo’s perspective it’s a significant discount. Boingo typically charges $22 a month for unlimited use of its hot spots for any kind of Internet activity.

"We believe affordable broadband access is fundamental" to advance Internet telephony, said Skype co-founder Niklas Zennstrom.

The Skype-Boingo offering, for now, is only for devices using Microsoft’s Windows operating system.

"Partnering with Skype demonstrates the evolution of public-access Wi-Fi to include VoIP," said Boingo President David Hagan. "Voice has always been the killer app, but it’s moving away from traditional networks."
