Phonegnome Mobile Web

This service allows you to make call using your mobile phone via a web page, in a click-to-call fashion. You need to register for a free account. Then, with a compatible mobile phone, connected to the net, you can make calls by going to Phonegnome's mobile web site and clicking to call. For the first, there are a number of credentials and other contact details to enter. Web page

The Phonegnome mobile plugin, which is just launched, can be installed on a Java MIDP 2.0 enabled mobile phone and used as a softphone to place mobile calls. The limitations are the need for a compatible phone and a data plan. Web page

Phonegnome PC Calling - Softphone

Like most softphones, Phonegnome's VoIP application runs on any computer and can make calls to other PC-using Phonegnome subscribers (for free), to traditional and mobile phones and SIP numbers. The softphone is somewhat technically advanced, with echo cancellation, noice reduction, SIP enabled (able to call any SIP address), call recording, ability to work with the Phonegnome box and ATAs, among others.

PhoneGnome For Business

I blogged on that some time back, when it launched, saying that with this business services, SMBs no longer have to invest large sums of money to get professional-type VoIP deployment. For only $15, they can have their phones answered professionally, like a big PBX would, and redirected to any part of the world. There is no setup fee, no hardware to buy, and nothing to manage.
