[April 19, 2007] Fonality Launches trixbox Buyer's Club Giving Instant Savings to Asterisk and trixbox Communities Tweet LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)-- Fonality(R), a leading open source telephony company, today announced the trixbox Buyer's Club, a new source for discounted VoIP products for trixbox and Asterisk resellers, as well as IT professionals. Telecom and network hardware, including telephone handsets, typically make up the bulk of the cost of a new phone system installation, and the trixbox Buyer's Club provides significant savings on any of the more than 1,200 IP telephony products available. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will be reinvested in the company's ongoing support of the trixbox community, the world's largest community of Asterisk developers and resellers. The trixbox Buyer's Club discount can be used at the trixStore, http://store.trixbox.com, a single destination for all of the products and services required to deploy an enterprise-class business phone system. The trixStore provides competitive pricing on a wide selection of VoIP hardware and the additional Buyer's Club discount is available to all registered trixbox users and resellers. "trixboxers deserve to have a place of their own to shop where their hardware purchases can help support the community they are part of. And who can refuse a nice discount as well?" says Andrew Gillis, founder of trixbox. The Buyer's Club discount also extends to Fonality's new trixbox Appliance and trixbox technical support packages, exclusively distributed through the trixStore.
