Posted by Tristan Barnum on Jul 18, 2013

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.

Somebody Buggin' You on the Phone? Make Sure They Hit a Dead End With Voxox

Posted by Tristan Barnum on Nov 30, 2009

 

Sometimes we do it when we’re busy, sometimes after a few beers, but there are just some people whose phone calls you let ring, and ring, and ring some more—every time they call. They don’t necessarily even have to be bad people, maybe they “did you wrong” as some would say, or maybe they’re just not very talented at life. Either way, the kibosh has been put on their calls.

Instead of having to go through this charade over and over, how ‘bout an easier solution like “Dead-Ending” their calls on Voxox, or as Kevin, one of our Big Kahunas, calls it, “The Ex-Girlfriend Feature.”

Monthly Calling & Texting “Unlimited Plans” are now LIVE!

Posted by Tristan Barnum on Oct 29, 2009

Today we announced our monthly subscription “Unlimited Plans” for calling and texting in the U.S./Canada and worldwide. The plans are super inexpensive. In fact, the introductory rate for our domestic calling plan is the lowest in the industry – 15 percent less than Skype’s!

Until today, Voxox users have been able to load up credit on a “pay as you go” basis, but have never been able to buy a monthly plan.

The plans we announced today enable any Voxox user to simply pay a flat monthly fee and have “unlimited” outbound calling, texting and faxing. (Note: there is a cap of 3,000 minutes on “unlimited” plans according to Voxox’s fair-use policy to prevent fraudsters from taking advantage).

So, without further ado, here are the plans…

U.S. & Canada Unlimited Calling Plan

$2.45/month – the lowest in the industry to our knowledge

Includes: Unlimited* calling to landlines and mobile phones within the U.S. and Canada


Worldwide Unlimited Calling Plan


$12.95/month

Includes: Unlimited* calling to landlines in nearly 60 countries as well as a subset of international mobile phone lines

U.S. & Canada Unlimited Texting Plan


$4.95/month

Includes: two-way texting to the U.S. and Canada


Worldwide Unlimited Texting Plan


$9.95/month

Includes: two-way texting worldwide

If you want to get a plan, make sure you download the latest version of Voxox…. And of course we still have tons of freebies, as usual!


*It is free to download Voxox and use most of its features

*You get a free phone number, dedicated to you and only you

*All inbound communications are free

*All in-network (Voxox to Voxox) communications are free

*And basically anything to do with social networking, IM, email, file sharing is all free


P.S. Don’t forget, Voxox is in beta, so we are constantly collecting feedback and bug reports from our users! Let us know if there are any issues you’re experiencing and what features you’d like to see in the future…


Happy Voxing!
