Access Skype with your mobile: VoxLib

Image for the article Access Skype with your mobile: VoxLib

The Fall 2006 VON starts with another mobile-to-Skype application. VoxLib, from the eponymous 8-year old company, provides to mobile users the ability to make long distance phone calls at the SkypeIn flat rates.

Here’s how it works: Cellphone users download the VoxLib application to their PCs. Then, whenever they call in to their SkypeIn number from a mobile phone, they automatically are recognized, and the application launches to enable them to call friends on their VoIP-enabled PCs.

VoxLib isn’t the only company willing to converge voice calling IM and mobile phones. Eqo and Soonr are doing the same. So does VoxLib better than the last two? Maybe. The main difference is that Eqo and Soonr two require the installation of their softwares on mobile ― a process that not all people are familiar with. But sometimes, a quite thin advantage might turn a huge argument to convince potential users.
