PortaOne Assures New Acrobits Cloud Softphone App For PortaSwitch Operators

COQUITLAM, British Columbia, July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- PortaOne, maker of the PortaSwitch VoIP billing/subscriber management platform, and Acrobits, the leading developer of mobile SIP clients for the iPhone and Android, today announced assured interoperability of PortaSwitch with Acrobits' VoIP softphone apps for both the iOS and Android operating systems. Providers using PortaOne switches can now offer their customers an inexpensive white-label smartphone app via the iOS App Store and Google Play, with settings and features set specifically for their service, in less than one day.

Acrobits' Cloud Softphone is a highly configurable SIP client designed specifically for VoIP providers and PBX administrators. The app, which can be quickly private-branded, features push notification so that users can receive calls when the app is closed, as well as Web service-based callback for maximum battery efficiency. Other features include instant messaging, HD sound, balance checker, customizable ringtones and Bluetooth support. To simplify customer management, Acrobits' iOS/Android softphone apps offer one-touch provisioning with design QR codes.

"In just a few months' time, Acrobits has set a new standard for VoIP and UC Clients with its Cloud Softphone apps. These apps can be a major competitive advantage to PortaSwitch telecoms," said Andriy Zhylenko, Chief Technical Officer for PortaOne. "Acrobits has received well-deserved praise for its solutions from BrightHub and BestAppSite, and has recently received the TMC Labs Innovation Award. We know it will be a great addition to the family of PortaSwitch-compatible applications."

"Smartphone users around the world are embracing VoIP apps as a way to complete domestic and international calls at little or no cost per call. By customizing our Cloud Softphone apps to PortaSwitch, providers are assuring their customers of the best possible call quality—along with unparalleled convenience and value," said Jiri Kral, Acrobits Chief Executive Officer.
