CultureMob added that recent growth in the market has also allowed for new levels of growth for fledgling apps. WhatsApp, for instance, was recently sold to Facebook for a reported $19 billion dollars. Originally starting as an instant messaging app in 2009, WhatsApp now has more than 400 million registered users and has been said to give tough competition to some of the most popular IM platforms in the market, like GChat.

This makes it good for both calling and texting, meaning whether users will be calling clients on the road or messaging their coworkers in the office, WhatsApp is a good investment. The app also uses contact details from a phone's address book and adapts a user's specific mobile number like Viber. Any calls made will be easily identifiable and relatable for any and all users.

For businesses looking to cut costs or improve efficiency, VoIP services should be one of their first areas of research. The technology uses Internet connections instead of normal phone lines to make phone and video calls, making phone service redundant in some instances. VoIP isn't limited to strict phone services, however. A number of new apps on the market can provide even better services.
Skype, Viber offer new possibilities
According to The Fuse Joplin, businesses that want to outfit their employees with mobile calling apps or desktop apps, which can provide them with free phone calls if they're traveling for the company, can turn to new VoIP apps. Skype is the classic standby in the VoIP world. Having been on the market for nearly a decade, the technology is simple to use and easy to connect and communicate with, especially for video calling.
However, Skype isn't the only option. Especially useful when going overseas is Viber, which also makes phone calls person-to-person using Wi-Fi. Viber is linked to a unique mobile number, allowing recipients to see results they'll recognize. In addition, Viber has been said to offer more competitive rates and help users make calls in a number of different locations. It can even seamlessly sync mobile contacts and offers texting and messaging capabilities.
WhatsApp has unique features

# 5 Ways that Travelers Can Save Money with VoIP Phone Service

Top 5 Ways that Travelers Can Save Money with VoIP Phone Service

Summer is right around the corner, and many people have already started planning their summer vacations. It used to be that to stay connected by phone while traveling, a customer would need to do a lot of planning ahead. They might have to buy a calling card, or buy special travel rates from their mobile provider, or double check on coverage in that area. But with VoIP, calling while traveling is so simple, it barely requires a second thought.

Making travel plans is complicated enough. Simplify a little with VoIP Review’s top picks on ways to save on VoIP phone service for travel.

1.) Take advantage of free mobile VoIP apps

Most residential VoIP providers offer free downloadable apps for mobile phones, tablets, or PCs when customers sign up for regular service. This means that a customer can extend savings on unlimited long distance VoIP calling when traveling in our out of the country. As long as a customer can access the Internet, they can take advantage of cheap rates on phone service for travel.

2.) Use free calling to call anyone with the same service

The most popular use of VoIP is for free peer-to-peer calling. This is no cost calling between any two people who use the same VoIP service. As long as customers can get access to the Internet, they can make no cost calls to any friends or family who have an account with the same service provider.

3.) Choose service with a provider that offers low rates on international calling

Many home VoIP providers offer special plans for customers who need to do lots of international calling. Some providers have plans with a slightly higher cost each month with unlimited calling to certain destinations. Other providers, may offer a free hour of international calling each month, regardless of the countries the customer needs to call. And even if providers don’t offer these special bonuses, providers usually offer extremely low rates on international calls, as low as $0.01/minute. Compare VoIP rates with international rates available from most major providers which may cost as much as $4.00/minute.

4.) Get a remote area code

Many VoIP providers allow customers to choose phone numbers in different area codes. So, if a customer is a regular traveler, or has lots of family, friends, or coworkers in another area code, they can select a different area code for their phone number so that all calls to that number stay local calls for people in that area.

5.) Use unlimited calling in the US, Canada, and certain territories to save money

Many providers offer unlimited calling to any numbers in the US and Canada, and some offer unlimited calling to Mexico and some of the US territories as well. Depending on where travels may take a customer, they may be able to keep up with newfound friends for free, anywhere in the country.

Introduction to voice over internet protocol phone - # VoIP Supply Reclaim Program

Introducing the #VoIP Supply Reclaim Program
VoIP Supply announces the launch of their Reclaim VoIP equipment buyback program. Under the Reclaim program, companies and individuals can sell their used or excess VoIP equipment to VoIP Supply in return for store credit or direct payout.

The Reclaim program was designed based on VoIP Supply’s roots in IT asset management and experience in the supply of VoIP equipment. Through Reclaim, sellers undertake an easy four step process to receive fair market value for their equipment allowing them to receive back a portion of their initial investment in this equipment.

“Spending has increased this year as the economy continues to improve, but this spending is still very tight” stated Benjamin Sayers, CEO of VoIP Supply LLC. “Reclaim is a perfect vehicle for those with restricted budgets to recapitalize existing equipment assets in order to increase their overall budget available for new technology investments.”

Reclaim also provides companies currently utilizing VoIP with a more affordable way to upgrade to the latest in VoIP technology.

“New technologies such as HD (High Definition) voice can be a tough sell for companies that just purchased new handsets a year or two ago,’ stated Garrett Smith Director of Marketing and Business Development at VoIP Supply, LLC. “These companies certainly realize the value in utilizing new technologies like HD voice, but are faced with budgetary limitations. With Reclaim these companies can lessen the blow of upgrading to these new technologies by reclaiming some of their initial investment in their legacy equipment and putting it towards the cost of newer offerings.”

In addition to new capital for technology investments and more affordable upgrades, many sellers will also benefit from the ability to properly dispose of their legacy or excess equipment.

Every year billions of dollars worth of perfectly acceptable and operational equipment sits idle in a storage room or closet leaving many with financial, environmental and security liabilities. Reclaim allows companies to properly recycle this excess or legacy equipment, preventing e-waste and putting the equipment to good use.

New Ergonomically Designed Yealink SIP-T4X VoIP Phone Series Now Available Through #VoIP Supply

The New Ergonomically Designed Yealink SIP-T4X VoIP Phone Series Now Available Through VoIP Supply

ealink makes a big break from the familiar look and feel of their popular VoIP phones

Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) May 18, 2013

The popularity of Yealink VoIP Phones is well understood by VoIP Supply, a Yealink Authorized Online Reseller.

The previous Yealink models performed well, offering lots of features for not a lot of money.

The new Yealink SIP-T4X series is an interesting departure from the tried and tested models but, continues the Yealink product legacy of being feature-rich and budget-conscious.

Part of the new design, and one of the biggest differences between the new and the old, is the lack of a paper insert for programmable keys.

This has been replaced by a host of “flexible buttons” that can be programmed for different features; giving the user more control and, obviously, flexibility.

Yealink now offers Optima HD Voice on the SIP-T4X series. Optima HD voice combines software and hardware design with wideband technology to provide a warm acoustic experience.

Additionally, non-slip rubber feet, a foot stand with two positions, and recessed buttons round out the latest Yealink ergonomic design features.

    Yealink SIP-T46G: High end model for executives that features 6 line appearances, Optima HD Voice, color display, dual Gigabit RJ45 ports, RJ9 headset port, PoE, and optional power supply.

    Yealink SIP-T42G: Entry level model that offers 3 line appearances, Optima HD Voice, grayscale LCD screen, dual Gigabit RJ45 ports, RJ9 headset port, PoE, and optional power supply.

    Yealink SIP-T41P: Entry level model that offers 3 line appearances, Optima HD Voice, grayscale LCD screen, dual 10/100 RJ45 ports, RJ9 headset port, PoE, and optional power supply.

"The new line of Yealink VoIP phones builds upon the success of their previous models," said Garrett Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at VoIP Supply. "The Yealink SIP-T4X series remains affordable, offers flexible new features, and covers a range of users."

VoIPProvider Announces the Top five VoIP Providers

MyVoIPProvider Announces the Top 5 Residential VoIP Providers
With Memorial Day and summer activities coming up, it’s easy to accidentally overspend. It doesn’t take much to max out the monthly budget by buying one more margarita, one more new summer outfit, or one more hot dog at the ballgame.

Luckily, there are some great strategies for saving money so there’s a little extra “fun money” left over after paying bills. One such money-saving strategy is switching to a cheaper phone service, like VoIP. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is the technology behind Internet calling. Internet calling is a great deal cheaper than traditional phone service, which runs off of old analog telephone lines or cellular towers.

To help callers budget a little easier as they ease into summer expenses, My VoIP Provider announces the top 5 residential VoIP providers to help users save money and enjoy a little more “fun money” each month.

1. Axvoice

Axvoice offers some extremely cheap residential VoIP plans. Their cheapest plan is the Pay As You Go plan for $4.99/month per line, plus $0.019/minute for each call. This is great for callers who only need the bare minimum amount of calling per month. For users who do a little more calling, Axvoice offers their unlimited US and Canada plan for $8.25/month per line. All of Axvoice’s plans come with over 30 free features, like caller ID, telemarketer blocking, and voicemail.

2. VOIPo

VOIPo is one of the absolute cheapest residential VoIP providers out there. VOIPo users only pay $6.21/month per line with a two-year contract for unlimited Internet calling throughout the US and Canada. All users get over 40 monthly features, like caller ID, call blocking, and 3-way calling. VOIPo is based in Southern California and offers 100% US support, so users are never without help if they run into any technical difficulties.

3. ITP

ITP one of the very best home VoIP providers for cheap nationwide and international Internet calling. ITP’s unlimited calling plan for the US and Canada runs for $9.99/month per line. For $24.99/month per line, users can upgrade to the Global Unlimited plan, which offers unlimited access to 60 countries worldwide, including Spain, China, the UK, and Turkey. ITP users also get a ton of free features like call blocking and call waiting.

4. Phone Power

With Phone Power, users can buy one year of home VoIP service and get the next year for free. Users pay a flat $199 for two year’s of service, which equals out to an average $16.58/month per line. This is a great option for users who want to invest their money all at once, and not worry about monthly bills for the rest of the year. Phone Power is also a nifty VoIP provider because it includes an iPhone mobile app so users can utilize cheap mobile VoIP on go with their smartphones.

5. VoIP.com

VoIP.com has a little bit of everything. All of their domestic plans include unlimited Internet calling to the US and Canada, as well as 60 free minutes for international calling. VoIP.com’s residential plans also include a free second line and number portability so users can keep their current phone number when they switch to VoIP.com. Users pay upfront for one year of residential VoIP phone service. This breaks down to $12.50/month per line, though since users get that second line for free, this equals out to a cheap $6.25/month per line.
