VoX Communications Releases Its Symbian
Mobile VoIP App for Wi-Fi and 3G Data Networks

Pervasip Corp. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vox Communications, a provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and smart phone applications, has released a downloadable VoIP application for use on Symbian mobile phones.

Pervasip’s Chief Information Officer, Mark Richards, noted, “We posted the Symbian VoIP app on Getjar.com for downloading in more than 100 countries and we have already received sign-ups for our app from consumers in several countries.

The Symbian devices that we will initially support include the extremely popular E6x, E7x and N8X series phones, and we estimate that more than 100 million such phones are in circulation. This app is simple and easy to install, and in addition to low-cost mobile calling, it provides users with a second line for inbound and outbound calls, including anonymous call rejection, call blocking and call forwarding.”

Mobile subscribers can now access inexpensive Internet based calling to the US, Canada and Puerto Rico from their own country with mobile VoIP plans starting for as little as $4.95 a month. VoX offers calling plans as low as two cents a minute and unlimited plans for less than $25 a month. Subscribers are also allowed to choose a low-cost international calling plan.

Mr. Richards continued, “We also continue to advance device support for Symbian phones, as well as look to other internal development solutions and partnering possibilities with third party developers for other operating systems. Our next development or partnering initiative will more than likely be an app that runs on Google’s Android operating system.”

According to Gartner, 80 million Symbian devices were sold worldwide in 2009, or slightly less than 47% of the entire global smartphone market. In comparison to other devices, it would take the combined sales of the iPhone, RIM, Windows Mobile and Android to give an app provider the same volume opportunity. Gartner also projects that Nokia will sell in excess of 100 million Symbian phones in each of the next 3 years.
