Best VoIP Innovation Of 2008

Sunday December 28, 2008
You know this is going to be subjective. I went through this year's main VoIP advents and tried to decide which one was the greatest. I had a hard time deciding between MagicJack, iNum and VoxOx.

VoxOx is nothing very original in itself, but it has translated into practice what every communicator has been waiting for - the unification of all communications channels. The project is quite ambitious, but there is still a lot to improve. MagicJack, which came out at the beginning of the year, instantiated the 'no monthly bill' motto. Competitor ooma does a great job as well as a monthly bill killer, but MagicJack is cheaper. It is however not the perfect communication tool since it depends on a PC to work. Finally, I think I'll elect iNum as the best, as it is both original and promising. It is a service that aims at making the world a real 'global village', one without borders and geographical distance. iNum will take some time to mature up but when it does, it can shape the telephony landscape. And you, which one do you elect?

I love MagicJack! I have saved thousands of dollars on long distance calls and you can take it everywhere you take your laptop. Call long distance from Starbucks and I sip my latte – what could be better!
