Still Pigeon VOIP provides only Pigeon to Pigeon calls up to 400 minutes every month then it is charged at 20paise per minute.

What is more, you are free to use Pigeon VoIP as your landline phone.

Are there some definite shortcomings in the service? If anyone using this service, your comments are very much appreciated.

There is good news for the clients of Onecall Telecom, communications services reseller in Memphis, Tennessee, especially for those who are engaged in small and medium businesses. Onecall is now offering new AltiGen’s (News - Alert) products based on Max Communications Server’s scalability and extended feature set.

For AltiGen, as a VoIP business phone system provider, proceeding expansion of their reseller channel means sound investment in their entire growth. Jeff Kays, vice president of Business Development at AltiGen, made the assessment of the situation saying that Onecall Telecom not only brings a solid existing user base but what is more strengthens their influence in the mid-South region of the US.

In his turn Bob Chance, president of Onecall Telecom, hopes that AltiGen will allow them to sell into businesses that are looking for a complete UC solution. Expressing his company’s excitement about AltiGen’s lead generation program, Bob Chance noted “the fact that AltiGen invests marketing dollars on behalf of their reseller channel to assist them in driving incremental business will help accelerate their growth and mutual success”. Also he added that when IT managers were searching for a new phone system, often with exacting specifications, AltiGen’s stable feature set with native integration to Microsoft’s (News - Alert) Exchange Server 2007 made Onecall Telecom able to win the deal by infusing high product confidence with the IT manager and often surpassing the organization’s communications requirements.

Moreover AltiGen Communications has lately joined to the expanding reseller network of Metro Communication Services, a multi-location reseller of communications services. So now according to the agreement, Metro Communication Services offers AltiGen’s products to its customers. Chairman and CEO of Metro Communication Services, Gene Johnson, thinks that AltiGen’s Microsoft-based unified communications solutions with native Exchange Server 2007 integration will provide their customers exactly with the applications they need to run their business.
