Meanwhile, Voiceglo--a phone service available wherever there's an Internet connection--said it is approaching 2 million customers.
Such milestones are a sign, to some, that Internet telephony, otherwise known as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), no longer intimidates consumers. That's an important step if these services, which generally require a broadband connection, are to ever reach a more mainstream audience.
"An average monthly growth rate of 122 percent is an example of how quickly consumers are starting to understand that VoIP is becoming a viable phone alternative," Voiceglo said in a statement.
