Most of us do our part to help out mother nature and make our planet a little greener. Companies are "going green,"  recycled tires are used for paving roads, blue trash cans are commonplace, and the reusable bag revolution is taking over! All of these changes are important, but there is much more we can be doing to save our planet!



Check out a few ways Voxox can help you reduce your footprint:



1. Send files electronically rather than printing.



2. Text or chat instead of snail mail - instant gratification, plus no emissions from mail trucks and no wasted paper!



3. Use the Find Me feature to forward Voxox calls to any number on any phone, allowing you to telecommute - saving fuel consumption and lowering green house gas emissions.



4. Send and receive e-faxes rather than paper faxes, plus you'll get them right to your desktop!



5. Best of all, Voxox lets you do all this from ONE device, your computer! No need to buy seperate equipment and furthur contribute to manufacturing pollution.



There are a thousand ways to reduce your impact on the planet, but Voxox technology is one that lets you stay connected while being environmentally concious. If you don't have Voxox, try it out for free... it won't hurt, especially the planet!



Share with us what unique things you do to keep the planet green. Happy Earth Day everyone!

PC Magazine has once again given Voxox a verbal high-five by ranking it among the "Best Free Software of 2011",  an annual compilation of the year's best free downloadable software applications in 35 categories. PC Mag featured Voxox as one of five free services in the “VoIP and conferencing” category, which also includes Skype.

Eric Griffith, feature editor for PC Magazine, writes:“Every type of communication you can imagine is part of the Voxox unified hub: phone, e-mail text chat, SMS texting, social networking, you name it—even, dare we say it, faxing. It also translates for you on the fly and takes messages. The product of a phone company, Voxox provides you with a free phone number to use for incoming calls."

You'll notice the enhancements are in areas of stability, client responsiveness, connectivity, and general user experience. Also, some UI controls may smell like bacon and/or your favorite vegetable, based on dietary preference.


Experience it for yourself...







P.S. For those of you who reported a Facebook chat issue, this was a result of a recent change that Facebook made to their platform, and it has now been addressed with this latest build.

Due to today's tragic events in Japan, Voxox is dropping all usage charges to the area, thereby enabling free calls, texts and faxes to get in touch with families, friends and co-workers impacted by the earthquake and tsunami disaster.


This policy is applicable to new and existing Voxox users and is effective immediately until 12am Pacific Time, Tuesday, March 15th, 2011 (which is 6pm Tuesday in Japan).  (SEE UPDATE.)


While some areas of Japan continue to be impacted by various communications and public infrastructure related outages, we will deliver messages on a best effort basis.


Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those affected, and their families.


If you do not have a Voxox account, sign up for free here.



UPDATE: We've extended this offer (free calls, texts and faxes to Japan) until March 31, 2011. Please pass along to anyone who may find it a useful resource.
