You get a collect call capability â so your poor but dear relatives can be calling you for your money. You can get a US/Canada local phone number. One more day, and I am doing the charge back on my card, because this is insane! When you are putting 5 dollars into your Skype account, it is there within the next 2 minutes.ĭespite, the fact that I was unable to test out this new service, I believe there is a huge potential in this program. The money left from my account within the next minute after placing an order, those five dollars did not make it into the VoxOx account three days later. To try out VoxOx, I put in 5 dollars into their service. After the latest one, the company decided to upgrade their protocol and expand their infrastructure, but the whole system will always be flawed and dependent on nodes and authentication servers way too much. Skype has outages, but it happens extremely rare. However, those 20 dollars savings do not mean a thing if the service is unreliable. As a result, your savings could be of about 20 dollars a year. Two, four, and six dollars (assuming you are not going to talk on the phone more than 1500 minutes, which is 25 hours a month) does not seem to be a huge difference, but the savings are apparent - every 5th month is free of charge if you consider your savings from using the service that is cheaper of the two given, and invest those savings back into the service. As you double the amount of time you are using your phone, the difference doubles. You spend 9 dollars with VoxOx service and 11 dollars with Skype. Consider you are talking on the phone 500 minutes a month. VoxOx offers phone calls for 1.8 cents, which is quarter of a cent cheaper - not much, but if you are using your phone a lot then quarter of a cent is also a lot. It is called foregone opportunity in economics, I call it 'wasted' opportunity. Those couple of dollars accumulate to hundreds of dollars every year. And who counts cents, anyway? On the other hand, many people spend hours on the phone and a cent may turn out to be a couple of dollars very quick. In fact most people do not even care for alternatives, as Skype offers their services for just a couple of cents a month. People are not even looking for the alternatives anymore. Over the last couple of years, Skype has grown steadily and many million individuals and a couple hundred businesses trust Skype. It also allows you to place VOIP phone calls to worldwide destinations cheaper than most other companies I have heard of. But that's not all that the program does. Each contact has a name card, where additional information can be added. The program can combine all of your contacts from various instant messengers into one convenient interface. VoxOx - is a freeware program developed by TelCentris, Inc, a San Diego, CA based phone company.
