It brings the features and capabilities that our customers need and want. During our testing, Ive been impressed with the quality and reliability of Centuri Messenger. With all these capabilities, gee-fon is unmatched in features."

Choosing to place these features in the network means that as new capabilities are added they will be immediately available to gee-fon users," said John Pope, president of CenturiSoft. This will help improve communications and to reduce costs. Ultimately, we want to revolutionize the way people communicate. Our unified messaging platform, combined with gee-fons Internet base, puts people back in control of their communications in ways they have never before experienced."

This is not only cost effective, but the very definition of simplicity."

Phoenix Telnet launched its gee-fon service earlier this year and was named Best of Show" at the Internet Telephony Conference and Expo in Miami. The service has been steadily expanding its customer base in the United States and Canada. gee-fon services can be used with any Internet connection -- dial-up, cable modem, digital subscriber line (DSL) or broadband wireless (Wi-Fi). gee-fon can send to and receive calls from any other communications devices including standard telephones, cellular or other Internet phones. The voice quality is superior to cell phones, and since the user is connected to the Internet, it doesnt suffer from dropped calls or poor reception as most cell phones do.
