    VoIP Calls via Mobile Phone SMS

    August 14th, 2006

    Click4Me, a Web-Click Phone-to-Phone service that utilizes VoIP technology for free phone-to-phone calling. Click4Me is available for testing on VoiceOne’s Virtual Lab at http://Labs.VoiceOne.com - an open forum for users to preview, test free of charge, and provide feedback on new IP communications services developed by VoiceOne.

    Click4Me integrates the world wide web, VoIP calling, and mediation to existing landline functionality all within one product. Users are not required to use special Instant Messaging, Voice over IP phone service, using your PC as the phone, or anything special to make and receive phone calls thru the service.

    With latest addition, anyone can connect to a registered Click4Me member by simply texting “CALL + the member’s username” to the Click4Me SMS address. Within seconds, the caller will be automatically connected to the Click4Me member of their choice, free of charge.

    To enable cellular phone users easier access to calling, users with cellular phones wanting to connect to a Click4Me user, can navigate to http://www.click2me.us, which will provide them the ability to enter the users email address or Click4Me id, and with one click connect to that user at no charge.

    Features for registered members of the service now include: SMS Text messaging to users, an online Inbox allowing people to leave messages for one another on the Click4Me.Net website, email and SMS text notifications of missed calls or new messages.

    Also registered members receive FREE 411 (Directory Assistance) from any cell phone by simply texting “CALL 411″ or just “411″ to the Click4Me SMS address. Members will be automatically connected to Directory Assistance at no charge, compared to the customary $1.50 to $3 plus charged to cell phones for 411 calls. What’s more, the information provided by Directory Assistance can be sent to the caller via SMS Text and saved for later reference.
