Telecom Lead India: VoX Communications, a provider of
VoIP and video telephone service, has launched fixed priced calling plans to
India via its Android mobile voice app available in Google Play.
The fixed priced plans now include calling to cell phones
in India.
Vox claims that calling rates are significantly lower
that the calling rates charged by other competitive carriers.
A VoX user can subscribe entirely on a mobile phone and
choose a U.S. phone number without leaving the interface, which makes the sign
up process more pleasing than many competitors.
The mobile VoIP paid plans for India start at $6.95 for
250 minutes.
VoX also offers 500 minutes to India for $12.95 and 1,000
minutes for $24.95.
These plans include calls to cell phones, which are
typically a higher price than calls to landlines.
New subscribers can download the app for a free 60-minute
trial and make calls to any country on the unlimited calling list or sign up
for an India specific plan.
“We have been working on fixed priced plans to
several target countries for a while now, and are excited to introduce the
first country that we have identified as a mass demand market.
International calling is still an area where the large carriers have managed to
keep prices high and this creates a significant opportunity for companies like
ours to compete and win in certain markets,” said Barry MacCheyne, chief
marketing officer, VoX.
Vox claims that its prices are favorable to other
Internet calling companies, such as Skype and Vonage.
The VoIP and video telephone service company will launch
services in other markets soon.
