Brussels, Belgium, April 22, 2008 -- Voxbone, a leading provider of local telephone numbers and VoIP transport to communication service providers and businesses worldwide, today announced that it has been awarded licenses and numbering resources to operate telecommunication services in Singapore and Greece.

The new licenses, awarded by Singapore’s IDA (Infocomm Development Authority) and Greece’s EETT (National Telecommunications and Post Commission), bring the total number of Voxbone-accessible countries to 43.  

Voxbone’s DID (direct-inward dial) and toll-free numbers give its carrier, call center and major enterprise customers a way to establish a “local” presence in other countries, by being reachable through a local phone call.  Seeing an advertised telephone number that costs little or nothing to dial, end customers and prospects will call an overseas businesses as soon as any business physically located nearby or in-country. Voxbone delivers these incoming calls to the number holder/subscriber through its global VoIP network.

Customers can instantly lease and provision numbers through Voxbone’s self-care Web portal, turning the acquisition process from months to minutes.

“Voxbone is our source for local access numbers whenever we extend the reach of our free- and low-cost international calling service,” says Darren Yaphe, Director of Marketing at MOBIVOX, a Voxbone customer.  “We rely on those local access numbers, as they enable our customers in over 40 countries to reach our dial-by-name IVR every time.”
Voxbone has partnered with local Singaporean and Greek telephone companies who are given their numbers by national regulators – a purchase as close to the physical source as possible and in compliance with all national standards and regulations. This assures number holders of the highest possible quality and reliability.
