Feedback and reviews

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

At Localphone we’re proud to offer our customers one of the best international calling services in the world, so we want to share with you some of the great feedback and reviews we have been receiving. Check out this fantastic write up from VoIPReview.org about how Localphone began and the different services we offer.

We’ve also had some glowing feedback from one of our customers, Mr Holmes from the Apache Software Foundation, who uses our service for business and when talking to clients. ‘I’m a serious Localphone fan. I work for a US company, so often need to make calls to colleagues. Likewise, I sometimes have to go there. Bringing together a few tricks (a localphone local number, a US SIM card, and a redirect by my phone company), I can avoid all roaming charges when abroad. It costs me 0.4p/min to call the UK, and costs me 0.4p/min to ‘receive’ calls to my UK mobile, when I am in the USA. This is cool. And I couldn’t do it without a service like yours.’

If you’d like us to hear your feedback and suggestions and have them published on our blog, please contact us.

You are the best….

We’d like to share another great review with you from one of our customers, Innocent in Italy:
‘I have been using Localphone for some time, it is a must use site. The site works very perfect and makes no problems. I used the old software before, but I’ve just updated to the new one now, which is better than the other software, works perfect and works better with all the different features. Once again you are the best. Ciao’ Innocent, Italy.

Monday, March 11th, 2013

ITSPA Award Best Consumer VoIP 2013 We are proud to announce that Localphone attended the ITSPA Awards 2013 in London last week and were announced as the winners of the Best Consumer VoIP category! ITSPA (The Internet Telephony Services Providers’ Association), the voice of the UK VoIP industry, held its annual awards ceremony in the House of Commons last week in London. The awards were hosted by Dr Julian Huppert MP, Vice Chair of the Parliamentary Internet Communications and Technology Forum and were presented in 8 categories. Localphone were announced the proud winners of the Best Consumer VoIP Award, beating BT to the title, which was announced as the runner up with Highly Commended.

All entrants had to submit a written case study and self-assessment, which were independently reviewed by the ITSPA Awards judges and Malden Electronics conducted two months of technical testing for three of the categories, including Best Consumer VoIP. Full details of the awards can be found at www.itspaawards.org.uk.

Paul Cusack, CEO and founder of Localphone, said, ‘It is a great honour to receive the ITSPA 2013 Award for Best Consumer VoIP and I am extremely proud of this achievement and recognition. It wouldn’t have been possible without the help from all the Localphone employees who have worked so hard to make our service world class, so I’d like to offer my personal appreciation to them. We have lots of exciting plans and product development scheduled in for 2013 and we look forward to announcing these to the public in the coming months as well as entering more categories at the ITSPA Awards next year.’
