Voxalot's Basic and Premium Service offers its members the freedom to choose how they make and receive calls. With a Voxalot Premium account ranging from $15 to $40 per year, members can assign multiple PSTN numbers to their Internet Telephone number. With PSTN numbers added, members can now receive incoming calls from any PSTN phone, as well as IP phones. They can also set up a series of Call Connection Rules to route incoming calls by time of day (as in, send all calls after 8 pm to mobile number), by caller (as in, send mother-in-law straight to voice mail), or by other Find Me/Follow-Me parameters, sending calls to any one of a number of hardware or software, IP or PSTN phones. Premium accounts also include the Voxalot Web Call-back feature, which accepts phone numbers entered on a web site, calls out to both parties, and bridges the call together. The VoIP provider carrying each “leg” of the two-legged call is selected based on that member’s Smart Call Rules. == VoxBasic (Free) == A VoxBasic account is free.

ENUM allows you to register your conventional telephone number along with your VoIP number (also known as SIP URI) on free registrars such as e164.org. So when someone on Voxalot (or another service supporting ENUM) calls you on your normal number, Voxalot checks the ENUM database and if you have registered your number, Voxalot will route the call to the corresponding SIP URI, which will route the call for free. So, go ahead and register your telephone number and encourage your family and friends to register with e164.org, as more people register on ENUM, more calls will be routed for free.
