Pop VoIP Brings VoIP Telephone Awareness to Small-to-Medium Sized Businesses with New Pew Usage Research

BROOKLYN, NY, June 15, 2011 (Press-News.org) In a recent study conducted by Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, it was discovered that 25% of adult internet users have used digital phone service, and Pop VoIP is reaching out to the remaining 75% to experience the convenience and savings of VoIP telephone service. Online at http://www.PopVoIP.com, the Brooklyn-based telecommunications service provider offers VoIP phone service throughout the country, with a focus on small business clients.

The 25% figure is higher than Pew's findings in a similar survey in 2007, a jump experts are attributing to the growth of VoIP telephone service and the fact that this was the first year that Pew gave name-brand examples of VoIP providers. Currently, Skype and Vonage are the most widely known telecommunications companies, but most internet users are not yet aware of the VoIP technology behind these companies — the same technology that allows Pop VoIP to tap into the small business interests of its clients.

Pop VoIP is looking to improve general awareness among the 75% of internet-using adults that have yet to try VoIP telephone service, in addition to encouraging current name-brand VoIP customers to try Pop VoIP. For small businesses especially, Pop VoIP offers a unique understanding of the specific obstacles that emerging companies face.

Pop VoIP's long distance telephone service uses clients' existing high speed internet connections to place calls all over the world. Calls placed within the business phone system network — even to other Pop VoIP clients — are free. Setup is quick and inexpensive since all that is required is a high speed internet connection. Pop VoIP users can also communicate seamlessly with VoIP and analog phone users alike with affordable monthly rates, as VoIP telephone providers do not have to pay the same taxes and fees as the phone company.

"People hear about VoIP telephones all the time. However, the majority of internet users are unaware of how this type of technology can benefit their business. Pop VoIP utilizes this technology to help businesses save money and maximize their growth potential. We hope to help the 75% of internet users that have yet to try VoIP to see exactly what they're missing," said Levi Halberstam, CEO of Pop VoIP.
