Sending mom a link to VoxOx will give her even more access to keep in touch with you on a regular basis. When she sees all the possible ways you can send her your love, it will make her day. So, why not start with Mother’s Day? 

Here are five ways you can wish her a Happy Mother’s Day via VoxOx:

1.    Call her on-the-cheap

My mom’s in Canada and she thinks I spend big bucks on phone bills (makes her love me even more). What she doesn’t know is that it costs 1 penny per minute to call Canada from VoxOx!  Plus, when you sign up for VoxOx in the U.S. or Canada, the first $1 worth of VoxOx credit is on us, so you can call a bunch of places worldwide for super cheap. 

It’s so easy too – just find her on your contact list, right click to select the contact, and then press the little phone icon. You’ll be giving her a call in no time!

And, if she’s not in your contact list, just go for the keypad tab:

2.    Let the world know she’s your favorite lady!

Declare your love for mom on all your IM/social network statuses from VoxOx by simply typing your message in the global status bar: 

3.    Fax her “I love you, mom” to her office

She won’t be expecting to see it when she comes in on Monday, and it will start her day off on a happy note.

As with calling, find mom on your contact list, right click to select her contact, and then press the little fax icon. For more details on how to fax via VoxOx, see our Earth Day entry.

4.    SMS ur xoxo from VoxOx

If your mom’s like mine she won’t text you, but you bet she reads the ones she gets… so text her “Happy Mother’s Day!” and make her smile.

Just like calling and faxing, you can text by finding her on your contact list and right clicking to select. Then, hit the button that says “SMS.”

VoxOx charges a 1 penny for outbound domestic U.S. & Canada texts, a 2 pennies for international texts. All inbound texts are free! Not bad, eh?

5.    Tweet your love for mom in 50 languages

If your mom is a real “with it” mom she might have her own Twitter account. Well, if that’s the case, why not send her a few loving Twitter @replies through VoxOx?

To do this, just find her Twitter profile in your VoxOx contact list, click on the Twitter logo by her name, and select “reply to”.

Now, if your mom speaks more than one language, VoxOx has a special way for you to impress her. For example, if she grew up in France (and raised you in CA), you can type your Twitter @reply in English, it will post in French.

To do this, when you select “Reply to,” a chat window will pop up — click on the globe icon (bottom right). Set your language, your mom’s language, and voila! Now you can tell the world that you love your mom in 50+ languages.

So, there you go – five ways to let mom know how much you love her. And with that, our VoxOx team would like to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to moms everywhere!

A small contingent from VoxOx attended the four-day event in Las Vegas last week, meeting with press, analysts and other parties to show off the second version of our VoxOx Personal Assistant, a productivity tool that helps you better manage your voice communications. Think Google Voice, but richer and more robust. The enhanced version adds remote access functionality, which is key because it takes VoxOx off the desktop and allows you to access your personal assistant from any mobile phone (read the release).

The show was big success. And now that we’ve recovered (on sleep at least; my wallet is still way too light after hitting the craps tables), I wanted to share some of our experiences, including select press coverage and random photos I took with my iPhone.

Select coverage:

• CNET: “CES: New VoxOx Features Help Even Old Cell Phones”
• PCMag: “VoxOx Universal Communicator Adds Personal Assistant”
• eWeek: “VoxOx Sprinkles Remote Access into Google Voice, Ribbit Rival”
• LA Times: “CES: Here’s What Wasn’t on the Show Floor”
• Enterprise VoIP Planet: “VoxOx Upgrade Brings Enhanced Remote Functionality”

Alright, there you have it. Our week at CES. If you haven’t already, be sure to download the latest version of VoxOx.

‘Til next time!

Let everyone know about your New Years plans with VoxOx social networking, but without having to repeat yourself … at least manually. Just enter your status into the status bar (in the global setting) on VoxOx once, and you’re all good. All the networks you have programmed into your VoxOx will be updated, saving you time to get ready.

You know how Australia is always the first country to celebrate the New Year? (This would probably be true even if they weren’t 20 hours ahead). Wouldn’t it be cool to call your buddy in Sydney, in a different decade than the one you’re in? How about wishing happy New Year to your friends anywhere else around the globe as it happens? Use SMS callback while you’re out, or one of our money-saving calling plans if you’re at home, to call your friends and family wherever they are for practically pennies per minute.

Lastly, once the smoke has cleared, your hangover has subsided, and you’ve had time to go through and vet the various photos you took on New Years Eve, how about sharing an entire photo album rather than just a few random pics? Use VoxOx File Sharing to send large files, like a photo album, to anyone with an easy, non-inbox cluttering download link. Once you’ve cleared the album of anything too embarrassing, such as that crazy thing you did on stage at midnight, just pick a contact, hit the File Share icon, upload and send away.

Have a great and joyous New Years — for this decade and beyond. Keep Voxing!
