Voxalot Launches Voice Application for Facebook

Voxalot has launched Voxcall, a voice communication application running on Facebook.

Voxalot used its recently announced VoxConnect API to develop and deploy the new application. The API, in turn, leverages Voxalot’s core telephony platform to add free VoIP calling to the popular social networking site’s applications.

Voxcall is open to current Facebook users who sign up for a free Voxalot number or to subscribers of any open SIP-based VoIP service plan.

Voxcall enables Facebook friends to upgrade their interactions from messages, wall posts and “pokes” to real-time spoken conversation, without revealing their own phone numbers or knowing the phone numbers of others. No particular telecom expertise or equipment besides a software or hardware phone is needed.

Once the SIP URI is validated, all the registrant’s friends who have also added Voxcall show up in his or her “Call Friends” tab.

To extend calling beyond on-net calls to traditional PSTN and mobile phones, Voxalot can underpin Voxcall with its upgraded VoxPremium service. VoxPremium costs $15 per year, per user and routes calls to or from PSTN phones, delivers voice mail as e-mailed recordings, and enables users to set call-forwarding rules to any phone, anywhere, depending on caller and time of day.

Facebook members who don’t subscribe to any VoIP network can still get the free Voxcall application by registering for a Voxalot Basic account.
