Its Call-Back feature is very similar to Talkster's service, allowing you to make VoIP calls from your cell phone to anywhere in the world at a local rate. The service also allows you to take your VoxOx number mobile. Sending text messages from the VoxOx interface is free, but standard text messaging rates apply to those who are on the receiving end of the messages. Clicking on the text button from the Home menu allowed us to enter a friend's cell phone number and start texting we traded messages through the chat client with our contact on her cell phone. You can send text messages to your buddies right from its interface. VoxOx doesn't forget about mobile phones. You can also access contacts' Facebook pages, which will launch your browser, but to our dismay we couldn't see status updates or wall posts from the VoxOx client itself. Clicking on a contact pulled up that individual's information, including his or her phone number or e-mail address. After we logged into our Facebook account from the program, it placed all our Facebook friends on our contact list. The company hopes to add support for the most popular e-mail services, including Gmail and Yahoo Mail, in the next year.īeyond e-mail, VoxOx lets you communicate with your social networking buddies, but only through Facebook for the time being. Though we were able to import Yahoo e-mail contacts from our Yahoo address book, the program doesn't yet allow for sending or receiving e-mails from existing e-mail accounts.
The "Chat to E-mail" panel gives an instant messaging feel to sending e-mails and worked very well. VoxOx assigns each user a e-mail address, which is accessible only through the VoxOx client. VoxOx is capable of three-way video-calling, and the company plans to roll out more conferencing options in the future. A number of times, starting our video caused the program to crash when we managed to get the video going, images looked clear and our caller had no problem seeing us, although with some latency. We encountered glitches when attempting to make a video call to a VoxOx buddy. You can also configure a voicemail message and customize your very own hold music by uploading your favorite MP3 for free.

Though you cannot choose the area code at this point, you can receive incoming calls on the line for no extra cost and have calls forwarded to a mobile or landline phone via VoxOx's personal assistant.
VOXOX SMS RATES FREE
VoxOx assigns each user a free incoming phone number (Skype charges $60 a year for its SkypeIn service). During our testing the selection of clips was limited to The Terminator, but our callers laughed when we had Arnold say "I'll be back" as our send-off. When we succeeded in calling a VoxOx contact and a mobile phone, quality was clear, yet some of the calls had a slight delay.Ĭlick to enlargeWant to spice up your calls? Try the Fun button, which brings up a set of soundboards that let you send audio clips over the phone.
VOXOX SMS RATES SOFTWARE
We struggled at first to make calls a software glitch caused the service to think we were already on a call. All new members get 2 hours of free talk time for calling landline or cell phones, and they can purchase Vox points thereafter (1 Vox point is equal to about a minute of a long-distance domestic call). Like Skype, VoxOx provides a VoIP service with which users can make calls to other VoxOx users or to any mobile or landline phone. But the most useful (and humorous) feature is the acronyms button, which brings up a list of over 200 online shorthand (or NetLingo) terms-everything from the common LOL (laughing out loud) to the rarer LSHMBH (laugh so hard my belly hurts). Perks include the ability to change the font and transparency of the entire window. Those who prefer to scatter conversations around the desktop may not appreciate the inability to pop out chat windows. Chatting with buddies takes place in another window and, like flipping through tabs in a Web browser, you can toggle among conversations. Through the Setup Wizard we were prompted to add our instant messaging usernames and passwords we entered our AIM, Google Talk, and Yahoo information and were immediately logged into each of the respective services.
