Christmas is the season to honor time-tested family traditions and to create new ones. It’s about togetherness, family, friends, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

This post is for those of you across the miles who are separated by cities, states, and even countries. Here is a list of creative ways to connect with those you love and care about.

Whether the goal is to change your Android ringtone to match your personality or to unearth a gaggle of new sounds and ringtones to assign a unique tone for each of your favorite contacts … you definitely need an app!  Since not all apps are created equal, we tried and tested the top apps, those that are currently trending and few of the weirder ones (just for fun) to compile a list of the Top Five Android Ringtone Apps.  Each of the apps recommended is from a reputable developer, has a minimum of one million downloads to date, a quality rating of at least 4.2 (out of 5) and none of them blast ads every 20 seconds making it so annoying that you immediately delete it.

More than 2.5 billion people around the world don’t have a bank account and half of adults in the West (and 93% worldwide!) don’t have credit cards. Yesterday, Voxox announced a strategic partnership with mobile payments company Emida that will make it possible for the “unbanked” population to top up on calling, texting, faxing without the need for a bank account or credit card. The partnership makes Voxox available throughout Emida's distribution network of 54,000 retails points -- self-service kiosks and retail convenience stores worldwide. Emida will process and manage account refill transactions and mobile wallet payments from customers who prepay for the use of Voxox, offering an alternative to the traditional method of payment via credit card. The addition of this new payment practice extends Voxox’s reach to parts of the world where credit cards are not ubiquitous.

This year for Thanksgiving we decided to celebrate in Costa Rica, where beautiful sunsets are plentiful. To stay connected over the holiday, I realized that a communication app for my smart phone would be a necessity. Dave and I would need a way to communicate if we got separated, and my Mom wanted a way to keep in touch in case of emergencies and to receive regular photo updates. Neither of us could afford to rack up data charges with our current phone plan, so we both downloaded the Voxox app. The following are the features I used the most while traveling.

Donald Rumsfeld said, “There are things we don't know we don't know”. How true this is. For me, I’ve lived life peacefully oblivious to all of the calling options that could be at my fingertips. The problem was I didn’t know what I didn’t know. It all changed when I got my hands on the Voxox App and started exploring. Only then did I realize what I had been missing. These are the five calling app features that I cannot live without. Reader beware and continue at your own risk… you will not be able to go back to life before these Voxox features. They will most certainly become the five features you can’t live without. The following is a true story of Voxox in the wild.
