Super Technologies, Inc.’s DIDXchange has announced the addition of the popular Hawaii DID phone numbers to 16,200 telephony service providers’ DIDX ecosystem. Hawaii has been the most requested state for USA phone numbers since DIDX inception in 2005. Wholesale level IP communications are able to sign up, complete a six step interop, terms and SLA to be instantly interconnected with thousands of other providers in 170 nations with access to DID phone numbers from Hawaii, but also 63 countries with choice of pricing, plans, features, quality level and vendor.

A local presence via a local phone number in Hawaii will potentially connect the global user to lucrative industries such as tourism with more than 24% of its Gross State Product and a total gross output of over 47 billion USD. Hawaii is a preferred location to vacation and live because of its natural beauty, and warm climate. A few other reasons that users and organizations will benefit from a local presence in Hawaii are surfing, the only US state with a coffee crop, global respect for its macadamia nuts specialty, and the $64.3 million sugarcane industry. Users can request their telephone service provider if it is a member of DIDXchange to take advantage of the Hawaii and other areas’ DID phone number offers.

“IP communications service providers should just ask their users how cool and smart it would be to own a Hawaii phone number. Organizations and individuals in Hawaii will be able to dial the local Hawaii phone number and it will ring wherever the IP communications company’s user has set it to ring to, whether to SIP, IAX2, instant messenger, web dialer, cell phone, or landline,” stated Muneeb Iqbal, Senior Vice President Sales for Super Technologies, Inc. “We’re already down to 26 numbers after the first day, so DIDX members should take advantage as soon as possible.”

Ali Hassan Memon, senior member of Super Technologies’ marketing team added, “There are many tourist agencies working offshore with Hawaii being one of the world’s most popular travel spots. A Hawaiian phone number will make a huge difference in their abilities to broker the best vacation, honeymoon, and sabbatical deals. A ‘Kelepona huahelu,’ telephone number in Hawaiian is a smart purchase.”

The famous singer Pink once asked Matt Damon, “Is there anything you want me to ask you, besides your phone number?” Hawaii is the birthplace of many celebrity successes over the years such as Keiko Agena, Akebone Taro, Brian Burton, Lance Hahn and Nicole Kidman, and the phone number is one of the most cited pieces of anyone’s identity. Known in the voice over Internet world as DID (direct inward dialing), it has the potential to keep students in touch with parents; spouse with spouse while apart in the military, business or other; industries such as shipping, transportation, trade, and finance in touch with their current and potential clients, partners, and suppliers.

“It’s always interesting to hear how the DIDX members’ clients use DID phone numbers to improve their lives, relationships, interests and business. In the case of Hawaii, one plans to use it to facilitate research studies on volcanic activity. Another to bring together world wide Polynesian musicians. We just found Aloha808 site in memory of a promising architecture student and friend. The addition of Hawaii DID on DIDX has even moved a DIDX member who was a vendor only to open a buyer account,” Suzanne Bowen, vice president of marketing with Super Technologies, Inc. and DIDX. “Check under Vendor ID 716193, new but extremely reliable and with a good industry reputation. The wholesale rate per Hawaii DID in USD is $1 NRC, $4 MRC, 0.0125 cents per minute, and includes 50 channels (up to 50 simultaneous calls).”

Last month Virtual Phone Line announced its Public Profile Page with Web Dialer feature. “VPL,” previously known as a call diversion service, is fast becoming one of the web’s most popular social media tools. Today, Super Technologies, Inc., who created and run the Virtual Phone Line service reveals the new empowering personal and business tool of audio blogging.

VPL users can login to their personal portals on Virtualphoneline.com and manage their account with integration to Facebook; ring to including Skype, SIP, IAX2, PSTN, FWD, Google Gizmo5, MSN IM, Yahoo IM, GoogleTalk, or Truphone; as well as other standard and premium features. Audio blogging is the newest!

“I use my VPL public profile, web dialer, and voicemail features as a method to let my parents back home in Australia know how I am doing in my Masters studies while in UK. My Australia Virtual Phone Line number is what my parents in Australia, my family all over the world in Pakistan, Japan, Mexico and USA, and I call once per day through the web dialer to leave a message of ‘What’s up!’ to each other. I plan to use the content to write a book someday,” says Virtual Phone Line user Arinya Khan.

Customers click on ‘Profile” once logged in to Virtual Phone Line and scroll to the General Settings area. They choose whether or not they want to enable their public profile and decide what they are willing to share publicly about themselves such as their picture, their location, their Virtual Phone Line numbers, voicemail enabling, and web dialer. Two URLs now belong to the customer: Public Profile page and Audio Blog page.

Where customers select “voicemails” in the general settings, short recorded audios can be left by the customer or anyone with access to their web dialer on the customer’s public profile page. The voicemails then become an audio blog of reminders, holiday greetings, quotes of the day, polls, and more.

Virtual Phone Line is a service that enables users to be local and to be social. The sign up page is at http://www.virtualphoneline.com/signup.

Payment options increase benefits of choosing Voice over Internet Protocol technology

As one of the leading global suppliers of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, Tpad today announced the addition of Google Checkout to their roster of online payment options for their consumer services division. Tpad is dedicated to providing their customers in 28 countries with low-cost, superior service call packages, and the addition of this payment option further enhances the convenience of purchasing their VoIP call credits online.

Google Checkout has become a strong contender in online payment processors, allowing secure transactions for consumers integrated with fraud protection. The benefits for Tpad and its customers are numerous, starting with an increased level of security – via this partnership with Google Checkout they can purchase the services they need at each billing period without entering their information each time. The Brand Director of Tpad, Steven Johns spoke about the decision to use Google Checkout:

“Tpad has exercised a comprehensive strategy in partnering with Google Checkout to provide more convenience to our customers in the UK, US and European countries. This will allow them to have access to VoIP services and make international calls at a fraction of the cost they are paying currently with their local telecom. During 2010, Tpad intends to continue our proactive approach to deliver cutting edge communication services to keep our customers on point and in touch at the lowest rates possible.” Johns continued: “As more consumers discover the advantages of VoIP, Tpad has revamped its service offerings to ensure that consumers enjoy the same level of convenience as our business customers. “

Tpad’s strategy is also in direct response to the need to differentiate their brand from the competition in the residential VoIP marketplace by addressing the needs of consumers who shop frequently online and want to further enhance the security level of their transactions. Using Google Checkout allows them to purchase their services from Tpad in addition to thousands of other merchants without exposing their credit card information. In addition, customers can keep track of their online purchases from Tpad and their other Google Checkout transactions as well.

Tpad has made it easy to access these savings; customers simply register for a free Tpad VoIP account. Once you verify your email, log in with your 7 digit Tpad number and password. You can select the level of credits you want to purchase and when you click the Google Checkout button you will be taken to the Google secure website to complete your purchase.

Customers can use any standard mobile phone with free Nimbuzz or Fring SIP software installed to access the Tpad VoIP network or download a free PC soft phone such as ZolPer, Express Talk or Xlite. If customers have a SIP or VoIP compatible device such as an IP phone, Google Android phone, Apple i-Phone, Nokia Wi-Fi Mobile or Linksys ATA , they can access the service as well. Consumers and Tpad both benefit from this payment option; for consumers they can purchase just the amount they need without any hidden transaction fees or being tied to a long-term commitment and Tpad is able to further enhance its level of customer care.

The Tpad VoIP advantage is not only in the savings, but in the level of crystal clear voice quality and superior customer care from Tpad’s tier one data center. Unlike the case of making an international call on many mobile carriers, the receiver of the call is not charged when the connection is made, no matter where they are on the globe or the length of the call.

About Tpad (http://www.Tpad.com):
Tpad, a tier one data provider, is the world’s most progressive supplier of next-generation telephony solutions for consumers and businesses is highly regarded for its innovative approach to expanding communication access. Tpad provides a superior quality global VoIP network, affording users a wide range of VoIP / SIP devices (Softphones, ATAs, IP phones or Wi-Fi mobiles) to make free or low cost calls anywhere in the world with crystal clear voice quality.

Tpad’s new telephony services make it easier and less expensive for people anywhere in the world to stay in touch using any device, on any network, anytime, anywhere. The ever-expanding global IP telephony company is headquartered in the UK with offices in the UAE.

Super Technologies, Inc.’s DIDXchange has announced the addition of Alaska DID phone numbers to the DIDX marketplace. Individual and SMB users of 16,000 telephony service provider DIDX members in 170 nations are eligible to use the DIDX API to purchase on demand. Millions of calls per month will be made to Alaska phone numbers to keep expatriates, tourists, traveling businesspeople, and SMB remote offices in touch with their Alaska counterparts. This is important socially as well as financially for Alaska’s economy and quality of life. Asterisk, freeSWITCH and other SIP enabled IP communications are meeting these needs through DIDX.

With oil, gas, and seafood dominating the Alaskan economy, having a local presence in Alaska via an Alaskan phone number has the potential to facilitate business development and research in all three areas. Universities, enterprises and other organizations around the world can leverage this opportunity. Many Alaskans speak Spanish or some Asian languages which intimates the potential for Asian, European, and Latin-American positive business collaborations.

“Already while interviewing the mobile operators, CLECs, and all types of companies who use IP communications as a major benefit in business who have purchased the Alaskan DIDs say that the users are SMB and consumers, evenly. Many are using the DIDs to increase their positive and legal business in regards to the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race that starts in Anchorage and ends in Nome, the Stikine River Garnet Fest in Wrangell, World Ice Art Championships in Fairbanks, the Alaska Hummingbird Festival in Ketchikan, and the Sitka Whale Fest,” stated Suzanne Bowen, vice president of marketing for Super Technologies, Inc. “I listened to another scenario that involved the preservation of Eskimo history and culture via new cross-international collaborations. The Alaska DID are sold almost as fast as they are made available on DIDX, so members are encouraged to click their inbox to state firm purchase number total and top up accordingly.”

Alaska is home to many business successes over the years such as those created by John Luther Adams, Sarah Palin, Ernest Gruening, Jewel, Sydney Laurence, Don Simpson, and Khleo Thomas. Many of the DIDX ecosystem of buyers and sellers met at GSMA Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona, Spain to discuss the addition of Alaska DID and the opportunities it presents. The next set of meetings will take place at conferences that DIDX or its sister service Techistan partners with in February through April such as Expo Comm in Mexico, CTIA Wireless, Convergence India, Softec Pakistan, and Gitex Saudi Arabia.
