Voxox Launches Over-The-Top Mobile Messaging Application for Android Users
October 22, 2013
Unified communication service provides consumers with advanced messaging experience; enables free US and international voice and text messaging
SAN DIEGO — October 22, 2013 — Voxox®, the most comprehensive cloud-based rich communication service for consumers and businesses, expanded its mobile footprint today with the launch of a free Over-The-Top (OTT) application for Android, and the release of an update to its iOS application. Voxox for Android and Voxox for iOS unify key communication channels — voice, text, chat, video and content sharing — into a single, easy to use application that reduces communication overload and enhances the messaging experience.
The mobile communications industry is becoming increasingly fragmented as new OTT players — like SnapChat, WeChat and WhatsApp — enter the market. These messaging applications cannot communicate with each other, or through traditional SMS channels, which is leading to frustration and confusion among consumers. In fact, 72 percent of US consumers admit to using multiple messaging services each day, further illustrating the growing fractures in the messaging market.
Voxox is the only OTT messaging service available that provides users with a way to break down the walls of the ever-growing collection of mobile messaging silos. Users of Voxox for Android and Voxox for iOS can not only communicate with other Voxox users for free, they can also send messages and make calls to anyone not already using Voxox via their free Voxox phone number, which sends and receives SMS and phone calls to anyone in their address book worldwide.
"Today's smartphone user wants access to advanced messaging options, without being forced into a walled garden where they can only call or chat with their friends if they are using the same app. Voxox solves this challenge, delivering a rich communication experience, while also eliminating the traditional communication barriers that have plagued other OTT messaging providers," said Bryan Hertz, CEO, Voxox. "Our mission at Voxox is to simplify and enhance the way people communicate. We're excited to empower Android and iOS users to finally experience true unified communications, with no friend left behind."
Specific features of Voxox' new Android application include:
In addition to the launch of Voxox for Android, Voxox released the latest version of Voxox for iOS. It boasts significant updates, including an improved backend architecture and a streamlined user interface. This makes it easier for consumers to capitalize on the application's advanced communication features. Additionally, Voxox is iOS 7 compatible.
