Integrating advanced business features into popular phones and tablets, eVoice launched their new and improved VoIP mobile app for Android. This brings business calls to personal devices without incurring expenses from the user’s mobile carrier plan. We first covered eVoice here.

For both Android and iOS users, the eVoice app will make and receive phone calls over WiFi or 3G/4G network via VoIP. Your mobile device becomes a multi-purpose business phone system without the added expense, sometimes offering better quality phone conversations without using up your minutes. The app also boasts a new Intercom feature to instantly communicate with priority contacts. Updated features include:

• Make and receive phone calls via a WiFi connection or 3G/4G network using VoIP
• Intercom connection to other eVoice extensions using VoIP
• 24/7 auto attendant to professionally answer and route inbound calls
• Transfer calls to another destination
• Record calls with one touch (must subscribe to call recording to initiate
• Enhanced voice mail service with transcriptions and audio files sent to email or text
• Advanced call handling features including call screening

As eVoice makes it easy to distinguish personal and business calls, users can keep their personal phone number private by maintaining a separate eVoice line for business use without having to buy another device.

“Our mobile phones are becoming our only phones, used for both personal and business calls. The new eVoice app makes it easy to get the best of both worlds,” said Mike Pugh, vice president, marketing for j2 Global. “eVoice brings all of the features you expect from a big business phone system to your mobile device, without exposing your personal phone number or using your mobile minutes.”

VoIP grows on mobile

With a boost in connectivity, the VoIP trend is taking over the mobile scene. Kineto recently launched a service to compete with Google Voice and Skype.  Launched in partnership with T-Mobile, Kineto brought WiFi calling to the mobile carrier’s customers, which took a great burden off T-Mobile’s network.  This cooperation between WiFi and carrier networks will only deepen, as Xirrus expects the WiFi industry to offset many of the issues currently found with voice networks.
