Thanksgiving, one of the most delicious holidays known to man (or at least we think so!), is right around the corner and you know what that means... turkey, pie, potatoes and of course, leftovers! Although here at Voxox we love anything to do with eating, we also know Thanksgiving is about more than just the treats -- it's about celebrating all that we're thankful for!

It's nearly 7pm and you've got to head out the door to catch the last commuter train home, but you're still on an important business call. Talk about bad timing because you definitely can't afford to drop this call. Now with less than 10 minutes before the train is scheduled to reel off towards uptown, you're about to panic -- not another night on the employee lounge couch! At a time like this, wouldn't it be nice if you could transfer the call to your cell so you could head out the door and keep business flowing? With Voxox's on-demand Call Transfer feature you can do just that.

What did we do with "dumb" cellular phones before the introduction of our beloved smartphones and apps? We talked, texted and played Snake, that's what. But with all the fancy phones, tablets and millions of addicting and useful apps on the market today, could you blame us for being a little app crazy? While some more app-dependant techies have hundreds of apps ranging from games to fitness apps to simple notebooks, the  average smartphone user has 65 apps installed on their phones, but only uses 15 of them per week -- we hope Voxox Call for iPhone is one of them!

Social media is an integral part of our daily lives  and chances are the connection doesn't stop when you walk into the office. Although some workplaces are lax on their usage rules, others ban networking sites altogether -- placing a greater taboo on being caught chatting, Liking and poking while you should be putting in hours.

Well, we're a very curious crew over here at Voxox, so in between developing out-of-this-world technology and providing you with cheap international calling rates, we ran a few searches to find random facts on iPhone energy consumption, such as “How long would I have to pedal a bike to charge my iPhone?” and “Can I juice up my iPhone with wind power?” -- not so surprisingly, Google answered!
