magicJack APP is the latest offering from the company which recently launched magicJack PLUS™, an upgraded version of the successful magicJack that continues to provide free phone service with the option to use it with or without a computer. The magicJack PLUS is the only device available in the world that works in this fashion that also weighs less than one ounce. This small, efficient form factor is achieved by using the company’s proprietary computer on a chip that performs more than 14 functions and contains a CPU and memory. The newest line-up of products and services continues to deliver the highest voice quality, and now allows the customer flexibility when placing a call: with or without a PC or Mac computer, on a smart phone, on a tablet, without a magicJack and even via an iPod touch providing free telecom service across all of these devices. The addressable market for the company’s products and services is ever expanding and now made available to a much larger demographic market across the globe.
magicJack APP, now available for free, downloads within seconds and allows customers to begin making free calls. Users will have the option to use their existing magicJack number to make/receive calls or use the application for outgoing calls to landline or mobile numbers in the U.S. and Canada, and other magicJack numbers across the world for free. magicJack APP is as easy to use as your mobile phone with better voice quality and allows customers to use their stored iPhone contacts.
Dan Borislow, CEO of magicJack, states: “I am incredibly proud of the many employees involved in building our first APP. I am obviously biased in saying this, but I can’t see any reason that by offering the best voice quality, free calls, ease of use, ability to use your existing contacts and free download, that we will not have tens of millions of downloads over the next year. Apple has the best OS and devices built for voice and I believe we have the best telephone network and software engineers to take advantage of this incredible platform.”
Customers with an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad will be able to use the app when connected to W-Fi or 4G with the same functionality of a regular mobile phone with better call quality, but without the costs for calls. Answering the demands for people on the go or people in their home or office, the company’s products and services now broaden to include computers, telephones, smartphones and consumer electronic devices.
The company’s CLEC network is the largest in the U.S. in terms of area codes available and certification in number of states and carries the call totally IP until to the last mile utilizing 140 servers and 83 session border controllers. These servers are only working at five percent of utilization now as the company expects substantial call growth.
magicJack VocalTec expects to deliver other devices and services connected with Wi-Fi and 4G next year. With watching more results of media tests over the weekend, the company is updating estimates for 2012 to $2.00 – $3.00 GAAP earnings per share (EPS) before any nonrecurring items and 20 – 30 percent revenue growth from 2011 to 2012. With eight million customers having purchased the magicJack, magicJack VocalTec is currently the fastest growing telecom company in North America. The company continues to have the most aggressive and advanced product and service path of any other company in home, small business and mobile telecom in the country and will soon expand into new markets across the world.
magicJack APP is available for download today at the Apple App Store.
