Unique Community Funded VoIP Network Shows Scalability
500,000 telephone calls without a phone bill.
(PRWEB) January 13, 2006 -- VoIP User, a unique community website offering its members the ability to self-fund their own telephone calls by leveraging Voice over IP technology, today announced that in the two years since its inception it has routed 500,000 calls to and from BT’s PSTN network without charge to its users.
“When we launched the website and service in 2003, we did not anticipate the sheer volume of traffic and interest. We’re naturally delighted to have proven that the concept is scalable.” said Dean Elwood, a co-founder of VoIP User. “What I think we’ve shown is that with VoIP you can think outside of the box. That’s something that the traditional telecom companies are going to have to do as the new voice 2.0 market evolves. Long gone is the concept of paying per minute charges.” added Tjardick van der Kraan, also a co-founder of the site
VoIP User currently has around 20,000 members spanning 50 countries and continues to expand into new markets and grow at a rate of 40 new subscribers daily.
