One of our most popular blog posts is about how to change your caller ID on the fly. It was published in 2011, and our app has changed a bit since then, so not only did it make sense to revisit the topic of caller ID spoofing because it was popular, but it was time to re-record the demo video showing how easy it is to change your Caller ID. 

Everyone knows the dangers of using your cell phone while driving. No talking, no texting, no web surfing or email checking while behind the wheel or you’ll be in big trouble.

But did you know it can also be dangerous to use your cell while walking? Believe it! According to research published by Ohio State University, the number of pedestrians admitted to the ER because they’re too busy on their mobile phone to watch where they are going has doubled in the last five years — and is expected to double again in the next five. Never fear! The Voxox blog team’s got your back. We’ve come up with 4 hypothetical scenarios and lessons to learn on how to avoid danger and bodily injury during pedestrian phone usage.

Summertime is big on travel and many of us have already pulled out our swimsuits and flip flops. Although tropical destinations and exciting excursions sound fun, they can be tough to coordinate! Unlike the old days with travel agents to do the heavy lifting, we've started to rely on technology to help us find the best deals, scout out activities and stay in touch with friends and family while on the go.

Did you know that 75% of students have their phones near them 24 hours a day?  It's true -- even 52% of children now have access to a smartphone or tablet! Instant mobile communications, like chat, VoIP and social media, are now at the fingertips of nearly every person on the planet and today's students have become addicted to staying in touch.

Summertime is beach time, and that means slathering on the SPF and hitting the sand! While most of us go to the beach to relax and soak up the sun, others can't seem to pull themselves away from their gadgets long enough to hang ten. With Wi-Fi connections available almost anywhere and 4G speed at our fingertips, mobile gadgets are becoming a surf and turf luxury. With one of the biggest beach days tomorrow (4th of July!), we thought we'd share our top picks for how the tech-obsessed are using their devices on the sand.

There’s an app for that. And that. And that. And that.

Sound familiar? As innovative and useful as most apps are, every smartphone user suffers from the new affliction of “app overload.” In a recent NY Times article, tech reporter Jenna Wortham talked about how she has 259 applications on her iPhone, of which she only uses about 16.

We quietly rolled out a brand-spanking new version of Voxox for iPhone late last week. We changed the UI. A lot. Which is exciting and scary and sort of asking for trouble, because it always winds up causing turmoil among long-time users (my background is in UI/UX and it even sets my teeth on edge when a beloved interface changes dramatically). We were certainly expecting to have to do a little retraining on how to use some of our old features, but are fairly confident that the changes we made make the app not only better, but more usable. Let's start with a quick how-to on faxing in the new version of Voxox for iPhone, shall we?
