Mumbai: Geodesic has entered the voice communication space with Spokn, the definitive internet telephony service. Spokn is a service that is a bridge between traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. "Spokn is a true revolution in the world of telecom. Not just a new technological offering but also a new attitude. Innovative but also honest, radical in approach but simple and straightforward to use. Finally I think callers have a product that truly brings together the promise of internet telecommunications with the convenience of traditional telephony," says Anil Raj, Head of Spokn.
Traditional internet telephony has required one to be connected to the internet. Spokn frees internet telephony from the tyranny of the computer giving users the benefit of inexpensive internet calling rates on a wide variety of devices - mobile phones, smart phones, regular land lines in addition to computers. Incoming calls can ring any or all of these devices keeping Spokn users in touch whether they are online or not.
Spokn allows subscribers to be reached at the cost of a local call from over 40 countries worldwide for free. And at a small cost they can even choose to receive these incoming calls on their mobile phones or land lines.
Spokn includes new feature of Voice Messaging Service (VMS). With VMS one records and sends a 20 sec message to any telephone or email account worldwide. VMS to emails are free and VMS to phones have a low and fixed cost that includes a free 20 sec reply. Spokn also offers a traditional voice mail that is delivered to subscribers email address at no cost - when users are not connected to the internet or are offline.
Spokn subscribers have the unique option to acquire their own local phone number in any of ten countries at just $1 a month. This way they can be reached at a cheaper-to-call country. Businesses with a client base in these countries can be accessible to their clients at a local call as well. Spokn has the transparent and clear cost structures with no hidden charges, connection fees and complicated caveats. Calls are charged in blocks of a minute and credits never expire.
Kiran Kulkarni, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Geodesic says, "Spokn is an important offering that has the potential to redefine the way voice communications and the internet synergize. There is a huge and growing scope here and our stakeholders can look forward to many exciting developments from Spokn that changes the way people communicate. In addition, Spokn completes Geodesic's suite of communication services adding Voice to our current portfolio of email, Internet Messaging (IM) and SMS offerings keeping Geodesic in the forefront of communications providers."
