Ribbit Announces Free Communication Suite For Mobile Professionals
November 3rd, 2009 by Kristie Wells | located in Beta, Features | trackback
Big news for us today! Ribbit Mobile, our cloud-based service that provides a new way to manage calls, messages and phones is now available to the general public in an expanded beta release. Ribbit Mobile’s core set of features transforms the way people communicate by letting them decide how, when and where they want to stay in touch.
Features Include:
Ribbit Mobile lets users communicate in ways never before possible by enabling them to merge multiple phones, route mobile calls to other phones and even answer their mobile calls on the Internet. Ribbit Mobile users can stay connected on their own terms—wherever they are—so they never miss another important call.
Unlike other Internet voice services, Ribbit Mobile doesn’t require a new phone number, a new phone or a software download—and the service can be made active on any mobile phone in less than five minutes. Ribbit Mobile converts voicemail to text and sends it to users via SMS and email, eliminating the need to dial into voicemail and listen to messages. It provides an online message inbox where messages can be managed and stored forever (see below).
Ribbit Mobile also offers users a back-up phone online for those times when a users’ device is lost, stolen, broken or mobile service is unavailable. The Web-based version of the mobile device enables Ribbit users to continue to make and take “mobile” phone calls via an Internet connection, regardless of their location or device accessibility.
Open Platform Drives Telephony Innovation
Ribbit Mobile is built on the Ribbit Platform – a robust, extensible platform with open APIs that lets developers add features to Ribbit Mobile. As more developers create applications, the service will become increasingly powerful and innovative.
We are also announcing the “Developer Rewards” program, which will compensate developers based on how much their applications are used, even if their applications are offered for free to end users. Unlike traditional app stores, Ribbit developers are rewarded on creating the most useful and popular applications that drive platform and network usage. We’ll have more on this program in the coming days.
It’s Free!
During the introductory beta period, we are offering the “Professional” package free for everyone on a trial basis. Reserve your account now and watch your inbox. It is on a first-come, first-served basis and we will be releasing a batch of beta invites every day.
Quotes:
- Ribbit CEO Ted Griggs - “With voice and data networks merging, consumers, businesses, software developers and even traditional telecommunications carriers are exploring new ways to communicate and evaluating how to successfully manage multiple communication streams. The challenge is that up until now the ways in which we most commonly communicate—voice, text, email, IM—exist in largely separate online and offline worlds. Ribbit Mobile is changing all of that.”
- Jerry McClain, a Mortgage Loan Officer and a Ribbit Mobile user: “Ribbit Mobile gives me a competitive advantage and helps me close deals faster. I receive over 30 voicemail messages a day, and Ribbit Mobile gives me instant visibility into which ones are important so I can focus on what matters most.”
- Jeff Weintraub, a contractor specializing in remodeling, and a Ribbit Mobile user: “Every contractor knows that clients often change their minds during a project, and keeping the details straight can be a big job. Ribbit Mobile lets me keep an unlimited voicemail archive of all of my client communications so that I can easily reference old messages that provide instructions or requests. I don’t lose important voicemails after 21 days like I did with my phone carrier—and if a client ever says ‘I didn’t ask for that,’ I can find the related voicemail and we can review it together.”
