VoIP Now

Phone Gnome is more than just a cute name, it’s the only phone some customers are using to place their calls anymore. A highly versatile voice over Internet protocol solution, Phone Gnome is compatible with a variety of online voice services, allowing for free PC-to-PC calls with several voice systems.

Phone Gnome was listed in VoIP news as part of a recent list of All-Star VoIP Products. VoIP news had plenty of good things to say about the service, among them that Phone Gnome has “services designed to tie the VoIP world in with the mobile world…by connecting mobile phones to a more comprehensive array of IP-based services.”

This fits in excellently with Phone Gnomes mission to make VoIP service part of the mainstream in voice communications, therefore making cheap and effective digital phone service the norm of customers across the globe.

Installation and Interface

Setting up Phone Gnome is a snap. Phone Gnome’s free software can turn any PC or laptop into a fully functioning telephone. Adapter boxes are easily connected to phone lines and allow voicemail-to-email for existing phone lines. Customers can also activate PhoneGnome throughout the house with a kit that connects to individual phone jacks.

In keeping with its mission to make VoIP service more a part of the mainstream, the service offers what’s known as PhoneGnome Google Gadget. Any end-user who uses Google home page to keep in touch with his or her news, weather, email, and blog feeds can now make phone calls from the homepage as well.

Features

Phone Gnome doesn’t have an actual long-distance service. However, it does allow users to choose the voice over internet protocol provider of their choice when making long distance calls.

So why would anyone pick a digital phone company that wouldn’t directly provide him or her with long distance?

One of Phone Gnome’s most appealing features is its intercompatibility with other popular VoIP services. This compatibility allows for zero-cost calls to EarthLink, Googletalk, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo. users, as well as to millions of SIP users across the globe. Each customer can choose whatever VoIP provider is most compatible with his or her needs.

While normally not a long distance carrier, the service does offer its special Reach Beyond Service. This affordable service allows any customer to make unlimited calls to ten home, wireless, or office numbers.

Performance

Many users have switched to Phone Gnome for its reliability over other services. The service is especially popular for making no-cost phone calls to India, proving Phone Gnome’s clear and consistent service spans all the way around the globe.

Service and Support

Phone Gnome offers true interactivity with its many customers. Many of the VoIP service’s features have been created as a direct result of customer suggestions. Any customer with a good idea can point his or her browser to PhoneGnome’s support page and let his or her voice be heard.

Support features also include a forum, online live support, and an extensive FAQ, all of which can be accessed any time of the day, any day out of the year.
