History
In February 2008, Voxofon began as a privately owned corporation headquartered in Houston, TX and was one of the pioneers to enter the VoIP app market for smartphones when it launched a web-based app for iPhone in summer 2008. In October of that same year, Voxofon was the first to provide a VoIP app for the Android platform – offering cost optimized international calls and texts. They followed suit with an identical app for BlackBerry smartphones in January 2009, and later that year for HP’s Palm WebOS platform. In October 2010, the Voxofon app was further expanded to support the launch of Windows Phone 7.
Since then, Voxofon has consistently released new features and versions on each of these platforms – making its products simpler and easier to use. In 2012 Voxofon developed Bridge Messaging technology, providing extensive chat features for smartphone to non-smartphone messaging. It also improved its app-to-app messaging, which allows Voxofon users to call and chat for free. In 2013, Voxofon introduced the option for users to earn free call credits by doing everyday actions like taking short surveys, viewing an advertisement, or watching a short video. This capability, which is supported on iOS and Android devices, allows users to make even paid calls to international destinations for free. At the start of 2014, Voxofon updated their iOS app to include the ability to share photos, videos, voice memos, and location through SMS.
Customer satisfaction is very important to Voxofon. In February 2011, they expanded their support capabilities with a new call center and supports agents fluent in English, Spanish, Norwegian and Russian.
