On Monday 19th Nov 2007 Voxalot will be officially launching our new social communications application for Facebook called VoxCall.
VoxCall is an exciting new initiative from Voxalot that allows Facebook users to click on their friends and initiate phone calls. The beauty of VoxCall is that it is self-organising in that if your VoxCall friend changes their contact phone number, you don't even have to be notified... VoxCall will use whatever number they have registered.
VoxCall also offers both public and private chat rooms where VoxCall friends can get together for a group discussion.
The underlying technology that VoxCall uses to connect calls is Voice over IP addresses (often known as SIP URIs). When you add the VoxCall application, you will be prompted to enter your SIP URI. To ensure that you are the rightful owner of that number, VoxCall will display a PIN number on the screen and then call the number you entered. Your phone will ring and you will be prompted to enter the PIN, which is validated.
As such, VoxCall supports calls between friends that belong to *any* "open" voice network (not just Voxalot).
