Follow on Google News |  Onebox Mobile App Brings VoIP Functionality to Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and iPod TouchNow, Onebox customers with an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can make & receive phone calls via WiFi from anywhere in the world – without using carrier plan minutes or getting dropped calls
By: j2 Global Communications, Inc. Essentially, the new Onebox Mobile App transforms an iPhone®, iPad® or iPod touch® into a multi-purpose business communications center with powerful features, including: * Phone calls via a WiFi connection or 3G/4G network using VoIP * 24/7 auto attendant to answer and route inbound calls professionally * Multiple extensions for employees, including intercom functionality * Enhanced voice mail service with transcriptions and audio files sent to email or text * Advanced call handling features including call screening The Onebox app allows users to: * Reduce their cell phone minutes (and resulting bills) for domestic and international calls * Make high quality calls from an iPhone via WiFi or a 3G/4G network, even in areas with poor or no mobile coverage * Use their iPad as a phone, making and taking calls without a mobile phone or calling plan * Give their iPhone a second phone number: a personal number for private calls and a Onebox number for business calls “Mobility is more than a convenience, it’s a necessity for competing in today’s anywhere, anytime business environment,” Any Apple® Mobile Device Becomes a Business-Class Communications Hub With the launch of VoIP functionality, Onebox extends its already robust communications feature set – including conference calling, call recording and web sharing – to the mobile environment, transforming an Apple mobile device into a business-class communications hub. For example, a Onebox customer in a local Los Angeles coffee shop could present a slide deck proposal to a client in Miami or London using Onebox’s Web Sharing, while engaging in conversation with the client via VoIP – all from an iPad. Reduced Dropped Calls Dropped calls, so common with poor cell reception, can lead to frustrated clients and lost business. The new Onebox Mobile App helps solve the problem of dropped calls in environments notorious for poor connectivity, such as a subway, train, basement office or a rural home office. Since many of these locations often have good WiFi connections even when 3G/4G networks are unavailable, utilizing the Onebox mobile application can lead to clear, reliable communications in areas with limited cellular coverage. New Intercom Feature Saves Money and Minutes A new Intercom feature provides a simple way for Onebox customers to instantly communicate with their most important contacts. By assigning extensions to employees, business contacts, or even family members – Onebox users can communicate with these contacts via intercom without using any of their Onebox or mobile carrier minutes. The Onebox Mobile App is free to download and can be used immediately with a paid Onebox® subscription. About Onebox Onebox is a brand service and trademark of j2 Global Communications (NASDAQ-JCOM.)
