Vox ADSL Phone is South Africa's leading VOIP phone

The Vox ADSL Phone, now available from Vox Telepreneur dealers countrywide, is South Africa's leading Voice over IP (VOIP) telephony offering aimed at home and small business users.

“Many people imagine VOIP telephony to be the same as making Internet calls via their computer, but there is a huge difference in quality,” says Vox Telecom CEO Douglas Reed. “Online calls may be free, but they are carried over public networks and there is very often a loss of quality, as most users know. Voice over IP uses the same technology of converting voice into data, but the calls are carried over our private network so the quality is far superior.”

The Vox ADSL Phone is an ideal solution for homes and small businesses. “We offer great savings on outbound calls and we give customers cash back for calls made to them from landlines or cellphones” says Reed. “On top of that, Vox to Vox calls are free. Homes and small businesses have the opportunity to save up to 50% a month on their call costs, but that could go even higher if they are receiving inbound calls on their Vox numbers and making a lot of international calls”.

The product includes a wireless ADSL modem with a wireless DECT handset, enabling wireless Internet access as well as VOIP calls. Additional handsets can be added and it is possible to make two outbound and two inbound calls simultaneously. Customers also have the option of bypassing Vox and dialling through Telkom instead for local calls.

“The Vox ADSL Phone is incredibly easy to set up,” says Reed. “All customers need to do is plug the unit into their existing ADSL lines, enter in their ISP details and they're ready to make calls. It's the ideal solution for small and home offices as well as households that need to keep in touch with family members and friends around the country.”
