Most moms “get” technology these days. While they prefer a good old fashioned greeting card, they’re just happy to hear from their babies, any way that communication comes. A lot of moms, young and old, are now up to date with the Internet – my mom is almost 75 and uses email regularly.

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. 

This week, in conjunction with Mobile World Congress in Spain, we launched a very cool, internationally relevant feature called the Voxox Universal Translator!  Voxox is now the first service of its kind to completely integrate "on the fly" foreign language translation for two-way SMS, cross-network IM, email, and select social media channels… all from a single interface.

Here's a little tutorial from our CTO Kevin Hertz on how to use this new feature:

Voxox wants you to be a better friend. That’s right, you read it correctly. I mean, when’s the last time you tried to get in touch with your buddy who went abroad? You keep saying that you mean to call right? But you still don’t, and we think we know why.


Keeping up with friends dispersed around the globe is not easy. We mean well, but we get caught up in our jobs, our social lives at home, and whatever else we’re doing (watching re-runs of “30 Rock” online) that we put off that call, forget to send that email, or never plan that visit. Sometimes the same can be said about calling our friends where we live, that’s why we text right? What if you could text Juan in Chile, holla’ at Tai in Dublin, and give a shout out to Scott in Miami all for barely nothing? Here’s where Voxox comes in (bet you didn’t see that coming). Worldwide texting plans start at $9.95 a month, for unlimited texts.
