VoIP-PAL Offering Its Customers 1 Million Frequent Flyer Miles Through New Incentive Program

“Frequent flyer miles have historically been the world’s most successful incentive to purchase consumer goods,” -Richard Kipping, CEO, VoIP-PAL.com, Inc.

And we couldn’t agree more. If you want to squeeze the most out of VoIP, and earn back whatever you’ve spent on your VoIP-PAL solutions, then you would definitely be interested in the news that VoIP-PAL has partnered with AirIncentives to let you maximize your patronage of VoIP-PAL and its products.

Can VoIP Fly?

Flyers can now surf the Internet while jetting to the next state or country, as some airlines now have WiFi connection on board their aircraft. But wait, there’s more. Talks are happening of VoIP finally being on board skybound aircraft too. The only question is, “Are we ready for it?”

VoIP Legal News:

When money and laws collide, lawsuits happen. Because the Internet is a new frontier, indeed, it is a place that could be a breeding ground for disputes and other phenomena that just cause migraines and tension headaches. But if you want to read up on VoIP legal insanities, it won’t hurt to click either, or both, of those below:

Sprint Sues VoIP Firms


Fonality, Dell team up for SMB VoIP solution

Because Skype, Asterisk and the other VoIP solutions are such a hit with the consumers and is taking the business world by storm, it was only a matter of time before the big players got on the VoIP bandwagon, too. Read up, as they catch on the VoIP trends.

VoIP phones installed in dorms; some quads share one phone

And lastly, who would have thought that VoIP would invade the campus, in this case, Maine’s Bowdoin College?

You’d think that colleges and universities would like to cut costs and just stick to good-ol’ landline phones, right, but, as Bowdoin College Manager of Data Systems William Kunitz said that their department’s original plan was to install landline phones in all the bedrooms in the Coles Tower dormitory.

But when it became apparent that there won’t be enough power to support 207 phones, Kunitz’s department stopped short of installing more when they had installed 60 units.

“As we replaced phones, we found phones unplugged, stuck under beds, buried on bookshelves and in some cases, missing entirely—so we didn’t feel it would be too great a hardship to share a phone in the common area,” Kunitz said.

And that was the 3rd Week of January’s VoIP news roundup, one and all. “Tune in” next week for another exciting roundup of news all over the VoIP universe.
