ADDING MULTIMEDIA Next Version of StanaPhone Releases; Now Includes Call Forwarding, Free Voice Mail, and a Pay-as-You-Go Plan with No Monthly Subscription
NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Aug. 11, 2004 -- Using Voice over IP Technology, StanaPhone Turns Any Windows-based PC or Wireless PDA into a Telephone; More than 1,000,000 Minutes Used by Callers Since June 2004 Launch
StanaPhone Communications, developers of the popular StanaPhone, today announced details of the next version. StanaPhone, which uses Voice over IP (VoIP) technology and works with standard personal computers running Windows 98, 2000 or XP coupled with a PC headset, has been downloaded more than 90,000 times in the past two months. The success of StanaPhone has been further substantiated by more than 1,000,000 minutes of phone conversations logged since its launch.
Effective immediately, StanaPhone replaces its initial offering with a $2.00 monthly credit per telephone number. This credit is applied to calls made to non-StanaPhone numbers within the United States and international destinations, based on StanaPhone's low per-minute rates. Once the credit is depleted, a user has the option to purchase additional call time or wait until the beginning of the next month when he or she gets another $2.00 credit. StanaPhone's Account Manager feature enables users to view their account information online 24/7 and see how many calls have been made and the corresponding details. Incoming calls to a StanaPhone number are free and unlimited regardless of their origin or the user's credit balance.
The new version of StanaPhone includes two new features: call forwarding and free voice mail.
-- When a StanaPhone user is not able to accept an incoming call, the calling party can leave a voice mail message and these messages are sent as voice file attachments to the e-mail address associated with the user's account.
-- When call forwarding is enabled, the call is automatically transferred to the phone number of the user's choice.
Michael Choupak, CEO of StanaPhone Communications, said, "Reviews of StanaPhone's call quality in the United States and Western Europe have been outstanding. Thousands of people use StanaPhone as an addition to traditional telecommunications when on the road or abroad. Our new version advances the StanaPhone experience for subscribers, especially with the inclusion of voice mail and call forwarding, a pay-as-you-go plan with no monthly service fees and cost effective rate schedules."
