Goober Networks announces goober 3.0 as a public beta, a completely new collaboration solution that includes multi-protocol instant messaging, HD Voice to landlines and cell phones and 6-way video conferencing calls to PCs including Windows and Macintosh (the current beta version offers 4-way video conferencing; however, the final public release of goober 3.0 will support a record-setting 6-way video conferencing capability).

Goober 3.0 supports 227 countries, more than any other VoIP provider, offering HD VoIP calling worldwide, and allowing users to save up to 90 percent on all phone calls. The first 5000 people to download goober 3.0 beta will receive a $5 USD free voucher upon request via the website. Goober's flat rates are versatile and flexible, offering an average per-minute price that's 25-50 percent less expensive than any other VoIP provider, with calls in the US and Canada at a record low cost of $.01 USD per minute, and allowing mobile users to avoid any charges on their mobile carrier's phone bill.

Global IP Solutions will power goober's HD VoIP calling and video conferencing with its award-leading GIPS VoiceEngine and GIPS VideoEngine.

Unique to the UC space, goober 3.0 delivers its HD VoIP calling across multiple PCs, including Windows and Macintosh, and the iPhone and iPad with gooberVoIP, which works over Wi-Fi and 3G networks.

Goober 3.0 is compatible with today's 100 million VoIP subscribers worldwide, the 1.6 billion people projected to use IM services by 2012 and the projected 1.9 billion email users by 2013, plus the growing population of social networking and instant messaging sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, GoogleTalk, Jabber, ICQ, MSN, QQ, Yahoo and AOL.

Goober 3.0 includes many more advanced services that give consumers and businesses an incredibly stable, quality IP communications experience, and Internet Service Providers (cable, ISPs, telco and mobile) a complete UC solution as a value-add to their subscribers, with white-label branding. No additional hardware is required by the service provider or the end user, and the software-only client can be downloaded for free.
