Ribbit, a company providing integrated communication solution, has reportedly announced new cloud-based service called, Ribbit Mobile that provides a new way to manage calls, messages and phones.

 

The new release, which is designed to attract businesses and companies searching for a cost-effective solution to increase productivity and cost-savings, features, voicemail transcription, smart call routing and Web-based calling that transforms the way people communicate by letting them decide how, when and where they want to stay in touch.

 

Ted Griggs, Ribbit (News - Alert) CEO said 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,” Griggs said in a statement. “Ribbit Mobile is changing all of that.”

 

The new service lets users merge multiple phones, route mobile calls to other phones and even answer their mobile calls on the Internet, promising instant connection on their own terms -- wherever they are -- so they never miss another important call.

 

Users can start using the new service using any mobile phone in less than five minutes, without requiring a new phone number, a new phone or a software download. Ribbit Mobile also 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 also provides an online message inbox where messages can be managed and stored forever.

 

According to the company, its robust, extensible Ribbit Platform with open APIs enables developers to add features to Ribbit Mobile. As more developers create applications, the service will become increasingly powerful and innovative, says the company.

 

The company even plans to introduce "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.

 

For an introductory beta period, Ribbit is making its "Professional" package free for everyone on a trial basis, available via download at company Web site.
