Mobile service is still a rudimentary experience

�People are phone numbers

�Rift between VoIM and mobile

�Rift between mobile & fixed

�One-to-One only

�Fragmentation of contacts

�Prohibitive international calling

�Mobile VoIP not close to being a mass solution -Availability/Coverage-User Cost-Subject to carrier block-Voice quality

Early feedback from Beta trial users from around the world

Very easy to use. I would definitely recommend MOBIVOX to all my friends, especially the ones on Skype. The sound quality was the best ever, as good as when I dial direct. David Newbury

I like the local access numbers and the fact that it can be used with no computer and any mobile phone. I was also impressed with the voice recognition. Jon Eskdale

I love the voice interactive menu system. I was looking for such a utility product and it came at the right time. Lovey Agarwal

Hands free dialing is wonderful. Easily allows conversations around the world without having to find wi-fi sites. Doesn’t confine a user in staying put or fixed to the wi-fi site on a mobile phone. Roman K
