Voxbone Announces Record Results for First Six Months of 2007
Recurring Revenue up 63% From December 2006; Customers Base Increases 50%; Intros New Services, Expands to 5000 Global Cities
Los Angeles, July 18, 2007 -- Voxbone, a leading provider of international VoIP origination services to carriers, ITSPs, calling card operators, call centers and other businesses, today announced record results for the first half of 2007.
Among its accomplishments was to boost recurring revenues by 63% from December 2006 to June 2007 and increase call-minutes handled by 79% during the same period. Voxbone also increased its business customer base by 50% from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. To help accomplish this, the firm grew its global employee base by more than 61% during that same period.
In addition, during the first six months of 2007, Voxbone introduced Version 2.0 of its API with more features for better and faster automation. In conjunction with that announcement, Voxbone announced a contest in which the winner will receive $10,000 for the best application built with the latest API (the contest is running through July 2007). Other notable milestones include the opening of Voxbone's first office in the U.S. (in the L.A. area) and a new feature that transforms Voxbone's standard SIP trunking into a distributed and fully redundant SIP trunk.
"We are committed to more and improved VoIP origination services -- while maintaining the highest standards of service -- throughout the world," said Rodrigue Ullens, co-founder of Voxbone. "The first half of 2007 saw tremendous growth and increased global momentum and, given the market reception to our offerings, we expect similar or even better results for the second half of the year."
Voxbone leases international VoIP virtual phone numbers and worldwide origination services via VoIP to organizations in North and South America, Europe and Asia/Pacific regions. It delivers high-quality call origination and provides the global infrastructure that enables its customers to expand to international markets quickly and efficiently. Using either direct inbound dial (DID) or virtual numbers from Voxbone, for example, customers may receive inexpensive, locally dialed phone calls.
