Verb Exchange has announced that it is offering a package of 100 free minutes of long distance calling to anywhere in the world with the Beta release of its CoPilot Console product. CoPilot has also been integrated with HüPad, a vertical search tool that returns a more relevant and efficient search result on the Web.
CoPilot Console is Verb’s proprietary desktop based application that allows users to place phone calls over the internet without the need for any specific hardware, effectively allowing users to make cheaper long distance calls without a VoIP device (phone or gateway). CoPilot eliminates the need to carry extra devices when traveling, allowing the user to capitalize on the cost effectiveness of VoIP while still utilizing their cell phone, or any land line, anywhere in the world. CoPilot also allows the user to send SMS (Short Message Service) text messages from their desktop.
The viral distribution of the ‘Invitation Only Beta’ in December provided Verb with over 6,000 new users. This is significantly more than anticipated, as people throughout the world took advantage of the product’s cost efficiencies and experienced the convenience of using CoPilot as their long distance calling service. The ease of initiating a long distance call on CoPilot, and the convenience of not having to use a VoIP device, or headphones attached to a computer, was a winning combination that resulted in nearly 100,000 minutes of calling across the globe and the growth trend has continued through the first part of 2007.
“Technically, our systems performed very well,” said Craig Goldenberger, Verb’s CEO, “even through the release of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7. We can now confidently make CoPilot Console™ available to a wider audience and invite those interested in trying CoPilot to visit www.copilotconsole.com. We have even decided to continue our offer of 100 free minutes to anyone who would like to try out CoPilot during the Beta release.”
