RingPlus: Just Born and Already Coming for that No. 1 Spot?

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Just three months after completing its beta test in late October 2008, RingPlus has already been nominated for “Best Free International Call Provider 2008,” been called the “best free international voip call anywhere in the world,” and been ranked No. 6 out of the “Top 25 VoIP Innovations of 2008.”

“Best Free International Call Provider 2008”

Currently in the running to be voted the “Best Free International Call Provider of 2008” in the VoIP Provider of the Year 2008 Award Series, Ring Plus is described by Voipguides as “http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-call-ringplus-free-voip.html. Our great find has gone beyond expectations and provided a good platform to make worldwide free international calls through their gateway.” (Voipguides, December 14, 2008). It’s not too late to cast your vote if you go to http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2008/12/best-free-international-call-provider.html.

Voipguides has already declared that Ring Plus offers the best free international VoIP calls:

“Ring Plus is definitely the most read post on Voipguides last week, primarily because they offer the best free international voip calls anywhere in the world.” (Voipguides, November 2, 2008 at http://voipguides.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-call-ringlus-free-voip.html).

“Top 25 VoIP Innovations of 2008”

VoIP-News has just ranked Ring Plus as No. 6 out of the Top 25 VoIP Innovations of 2008:

“6. Free ad-supported international calling: [. . .] Ring Plus Inc. makes even international calls to landline and cellular phones by having callers listen to short ads rather than ringing tones while waiting for the person to answer.” (VoIP-News, December 23, 2008, Robert Poe) http://www.voip-news.com/feature/top-voip-innovations-2008-122308/

Ring back tones, the music you can opt in to hear instead of a “ring” sound when you place a call, is getting more intelligent. Ring Plus, a U.S. company, has been offering free calls (even international) to its subscribers in exchange for listening to an advertisement while waiting for the person you called to answer the phone. Could it be just that easy? Yes, Ring Plus is currently available to call over 150 countries—even cellular phones—from the U.S. Actual call times vary by the country called.

After successfully conducting its beta test (which was reported in Entrepreneur Magazine August edition 2008) Ring Plus has consistently shown a daily growth rate beating the 2% mark.

To use the service, callers simply have to subscribe to Ring Plus by setting up their profile at www.ringplus.net. Subscribers enter their information, and once they sign up, Ring Plus then uses their information (without disclosing it) to enable advertisers to target their ads to their desired demographics.

RingPlus’ service is based on the patented software algorithm from Karl Seelig and Anita Erickson (US Patent No. 7,006,608).
