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.

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.

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.

That’s right! International calls to selected countries like Portugal, Austria, Cambodia, and Slovenia are now cheaper by as much as 53%. But there’s even more! We make it easier for you to understand how to do it! Instead of browsing through page after page of instructions and vague details, we make it possible for you to get the price breakdown instantly. We cut through the hype and present you with the bare facts so you can make your calls now, right now; not tomorrow or a week from today. And you don’t have to be hassled with calling us for clarification and confirmation.

In some other countries, the mobile-to-mobile connectivity is particularly strong and extremely user-friendly. You can contact friends and family through your mobile phone to their mobile phone using Voxofon – and you won’t be charged an arm and a leg! You pay less for your calls which mean lower business expenses which is something we can all use to boost our revenues.

Think about using Voxofon for your cheap international calls. We’re here to let you know that Voxofon is off to a great running start for 2013 and we plan to keep going stronger and better throughout the year.

#1 Cook for your beloved

Nothing shows you love someone better than cooking for your loved one. Especially if you make a delicious meal that includes all the fixings (appetizers, main meal, and side dishes too). If you really want to show off your culinary skills, make your loved one their favorite meal. Then, top it off with a tasty twist like dinner by candlelight, chocolate covered strawberries and wine coolers (they’re cheaper).  You can even surprise your loved one with dinner in bed or an indoor picnic for two. Either way, they’ll be really surprised!

#2 Plan a treasure hunt

Everyone loves a good surprise and nothing is more exciting than a romantic treasure hunt. With this idea, you hide surprises all around for your beloved to find. These can include chocolate kisses, love notes or poems, special items from previous dates, home-made cards, CDs, jewelry, whatever floats your boat! By hiding these special items, you will demonstrate how much you care with every little find. After all, mostly everyone loves surprises!

#3  Be more romantic

Don’t just talk the talk, walk the walk with more hugs and kisses and romantic gestures. Give your loved one a sincere compliment. Tell them that they are beautiful and that they look really nice in their outfit. Smile at them and display a happy mood when you’re in their presence. Spontaneous gestures of love can strengthen your love for each other. For instance, if your partner hates to do all the grocery shopping, do it for them and purchase a few of their favorite things to stock their refrigerator. Go out and purchase their favorite plant or write them a poem. Gaze into your sweetheart’s eyes when they’re talking and show interest in them. With your actions, show that you’re still in love with them and they’ll return the favor.

#4 Give more than you receive

Most partners simply want to feel loved and valued and most people feel as if their loved one takes them for granted. With this in mind, you should always give more than you receive. For instance, if your spouse wants to see a romantic movie but you’d rather watch sports, go to the movies and tape the game. Or, if your loved one hates when you don’t put your socks in the drawer – pick them up and do all the laundry for the entire month. The key is to do something that they really want to do, even if you would rather do something else.

#5 Profess your love more often

Whether you and your partner are always together or one of you is living abroad, it is always beneficial to profess your love whenever you can. Never be afraid to admit how much you love your mate. Whether you tell them via text, email or phone, it really doesn’t matter as long as you tell them. Sweethearts love when their partners send mushy notes or simple “I miss you.” texts. Plus, Voxofon makes communication easier with low cost calls and free or cheap SMS text messaging. And if your loved one is away, we give you low cost text and phone rates, including international call rates also.

In conclusion, expressing your love and affection for our sweetheart shouldn’t happen on just one day of the year. Instead, you must make every day special. By cooking, being more romantic, giving more than you receive, and professing your love, you’ll prove (by your actions) that you are indeed committed to your mate and value the relationship wholeheartedly. Happy February Love Month!
