An independent success story in the making, the small communications startup company Voxofon has taken up position near the top of Apple’s App Store charts. The Voxofon software offers iPhone and iPod users access to an exceptional cross-platform (web, app-to-app, feature phone, Windows/Android/BlackBerry) environment which exceeds the functionality of competing apps.

Voxofon, a universal IP-based communications technology company, is pleased to announce the fact that their Voxofon app has become the 15th top-grossing app in the Social Networking category on Apple’s App Store. A small, bootstrapped company, Voxofon’s iOS app is making up ground on the apps from competitors like WhatsApp, Vonage, and Line; and has already surpassed the offerings from Tango and Fring. While the competition has big money to back them up, Voxofon is proud to be a small, independent company from Houston.

The popularity of the Voxofon software on the App Store comes directly on the heels of the iPhone 5 and iPod optimized app. In March the company rolled out updates to their iPhone and Android apps. The updates include WiFi/3G/4G connectivity, free app-to-app calling, and bring the feature set of the Voxofon platform clearly above the competition.

Features like messaging to and from non-smartphones—introduced in January—put Voxofon head-and-shoulders above the competition, with true two-way communication across the technology divide.

While other companies might have turned to looking for handouts and relocating to somewhere like Silicon Valley in the battle to innovate and expand, Voxofon has kept true to their roots and leveraged the expertise of the Houston Technology Center while staying fully independent. Despite the risky move, the company has been able to put out a superior product while operating on a shoestring budget in the American heartland.

With free or low cost local, long distance, and international calling and messaging to and from any device (feature phones or smartphones) the Voxofon software is a perfect solution for groups of friend and family worldwide. No matter what device, or which side of the technology divide the members of a group fall on, Voxofon has them covered.

The app currently holds an excellent rating (4.5 stars), and users are quick to rave about the ease of use and rich features.

Voxofon, a universal IP-based communications technology company, has just released updated software which in addition to cheap international calling includes free app-to-app calls and WiFi dialing. Voxofon’s goal is to ensure that they are clearly offering their customers the best solution for local and international calling and texting software available, and the company’s latest upgrades reflect that dedication.

App-to-app calling allows Voxofon users to reach out to each other easily by voice or text. The new WiFi/data calling feature Voxofon means users can save minutes on their plan in a new way, adding to the ability to use 3G/4G data to avoid biting into their plans.

The Voxofon software is the only solution to offer everything needed to stay in touch no matter what the situation. While there’s plenty of competition out there, all the other options are missing functionality that Voxofon embraces. With Voxofon, an iPod Touch can become just like a phone with all the functionality of a telephone while running the iOS app on an iPod. Making crystal clear calls and texting, without a contract, using a regular WiFi network is a breeze with Voxofon.

The software is the answer for users who need to stay in touch with friends and family using feature phones. It’s possible to text any mobile phone, and to call regular phones using Voxofon. Call rates with Voxofon are extremely affordable as well. They beat the competition with low per-minute charges and can handle calls to just about anywhere in the world.

Plus, getting started with Voxofon is simple. Downloading the free, highly-rated apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, or BlackBerry is a snap. Groups of friends or family members can be using Voxofon for all their calling needs in just minutes, no matter what devices they have. There are no complicated procedures involved. No secret codes to remember. No lengthy prefixes to memorize.

Investing in an iPhone or Android is a major decision for many and the cost of maintaining the mobile phone is not exactly something you would describe as minimal. It would definitely mean higher monthly bills if you are bound by a monthly plan or expensive rates if you need to call and you are charged roaming fees. That is, unless you can find a decent WiFi signal and an app that can stream calls seamlessly – like Voxofon!

With its new feature for app-to-app calling using Wi-Fi or data connection, Voxofon makes it possible to lower the cost of local and international calls. And even with a post paid plan, calling over Wi-Fi/3G/4G will not use your plan minutes. This makes it easier for you to plan your spending with your mobile phone. After all, having more options always is a better deal.

With your mobile phone and our Voxofon app, you can take your unit to a new level of convenience and economics. The coolest feature is that this updated app will work over any data connection, which includes Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G.

To get started with Voxofon all you need to do is download the Voxofon app on to your iPhone or Android. Then, use Wi-Fi/3G/4g to get a signal. With the Voxofon app, you can start making calls to friends and family from around the world and enjoy very cheap rates. In fact, we just released a new list for countries with discounted rates of up to 53%!

In conclusion, the days of static connections and delayed transmission are over with Voxofon. We allow calling to any country anywhere in the world. To avail of our free app-to-app calls, make sure the other party has the Voxofon app as well although if they don’t have Voxofon, no worries! You can still call them and still enjoy rock bottom rates – rates much cheaper than with any other carrier.

With this in mind, invite all your friends on smartphones to call and text for free and don’t worry if your friend does not have a smartphone, you can still talk to them or send them SMS texts at great rates. You’ll love it and so will your budget.
