Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on February 06, 2009
What if Digsby and Skype merged into one seemingly all-powerful VoIP and messaging communications tool is the question that VoxOx seeks to answer. VoxOx's many features have not yet been seen in one package. It's got multiprotocol chat abilities, social networking support, and Web-mail integration. It also offers a telephony service that includes call encryption, mobile-to-mobile calls initiated by either SMS or via a Web site, a free personal assistant-style call forwarding service, and a system for earning minutes by watching ads or responding to surveys.
In addition to the features listed above, VoxOx offers 120 free minutes of call time to all registrants at the U.S. rate, a free U.S.-based phone number, international calling, pay-by-minute upgrade plans, voice mail, customizable hold music, video conferencing--limited to VoxOx contacts for now--two-way text messaging, e-mail-to-SMS support, and instant messaging for MSN, ICQ, AOL, Jabber, Yahoo, and Google. Users can share files up to 100MB via a generated download link that they can then share via e-mail or instant message. This takes a bit of getting used to, since it's different from direct support of most IM clients, but that file size bump is hard to ignore. There's mobile access, too, for those who use a mobile browser, iPhone, or WAP.
Frustratingly, VoxOx is still in beta so many promised features aren't available yet, and stability at start-up is atrocious. Support for everything from physical home phones to Gmail to Twitter have been promised. Considering that this includes MySpace, LinkedIn, and contact list importing from the biggest Web-mail services, VoxOx's potential outstrips its ability so far. However, VoxOx's callback feature allows for mobile-to-mobile international calling at local rates. That alone makes this a must-try, if not a must-have.

Version: VoxOx 1.1.2 beta
"Great idea. Crashes constantly"
Pros: Puts everything in one place.
Cons: Crashes constantly.
Summary: This is a great concept, and a pretty good execution. Unfortunately, it crashes constantly (I've tried both the PC and Mac versions) so my recommendation for now would be to stay away until it stabilizes.
To the developers, I would sug... read more >> -
Version: VoxOx 1.1.2 beta
"Not bad, Not Great..Yet You do need to at least try it"
Pros: This is a very detailed program looking like something you would see on a Federation Star Ship. There are a lot of tweaks, bells and horns. Very colorful program. It has worked with all our chat programs but we still fall back and use Trillian.
Cons: They need to send Scotty and Spock in to get it working perfectly.

Version: VoxOx 1.1.2 beta
Pros: Nice interface. Very stylish. Functionality seems on point also
Cons: I know this is still the beta phase...but the constant crashing has gotten quite annoying. I'm not even able to fully test this product due to the crashes i encounter while feeling around.
Summary: Seems to be a good product. Finished, it will do much good...right now, the bugs NEED to be dealt with
