PENSACOLA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2006--Super Technologies today
announced
that SIPphone, the VoIP platform and directory behind the popular Gizmo Project
Internet
calling software, is using its DIDx service to provide local phone numbers for
several
countries in the European Union.
Through Super Technologies' DIDxchange global DID ("direct inward dialing")
marketplace,
Gizmo Project now offers "Virtual Numbers" for customers in France, UK and
Spain. These
numbers enable users to have their own traditional, local phone number for
VoIP-enabled
devices and "softphones" like Gizmo Project. Using an easily recognizable local
phone
number, friends and business contacts can reach Gizmo users no matter where
they happen
to be physically located. Additional "Virtual Numbers" for international
customers will be rolled
out in the future.
"The Internet opens geographic boundaries so that the idea of doing business
inside just one
country is being superseded by a focus on competing in the global marketplace,"
said Super
Technologies, Inc. DIDx VP Suzanne Bowen. "DIDx assists the best Internet
Telephony
Service Providers such as Gizmo Project to do exactly that. Gizmo will now be
able to
automatically sell the DID's from DIDxchange under the average consumer target
price.
Global carriers can now make cutting edge companies such as SIPphone their
customer
simply by joining the DIDxchange."
The Gizmo Project uses an Internet connection to allow users to make free phone
calls using
a Windows, Macintosh or Linux personal computer. Gizmo also sports features
like
conference calling, voice-mail and instant messaging (IM) that is completely
inter-operable
with Google Talk and hundreds of other IM networks. Inexpensive add-ons like
Call In and
Call Out allows Gizmo callers to connect to others who may be using landlines
and cell
phones.
"The number one feature request for Gizmo we're hearing from International
users is to have
a familiar, local number that their friends, family and work associates can
dial," said Jason
Droege, President of SIPphone. "Tapping into the DIDx service for these and
future `virtual'
numbers will fuel growth of the Gizmo Project worldwide."
