Vivox: Reaching out and Connecting residents of Second Life to the Outside World
Vivox, a provider of voice services to virtual worlds and a company that I am a co-founder of and currently chairman of, is once again blurring the line between what is reality and what is virtual. Vivox is now giving away a million minutes of voice time free to residents of the virtual world of Second Life.
The giveaway will let Second Life residents make calls from within Second Life to any phone, including mobiles and landlines, in North America, as well as take advantage of Vivox's proximity services in Second Life, where up to five avatars standing near a Vivox virtual microphone are automatically conferenced together. The promotion just started is running until November 1st and has several in-world partners including: Pulveria, Electric Sheep, Illusion Factory, Jnana, Millions of Us, Sarg's Slides, Uvvy
Details regarding the Vivox Million Minutes Giveaway can be found on the Vivox Million Minutes Promotion page.

What an awesome concept! Thanks, Jeff -- I hadn't heard about this yet! I'm going to see if we can get a phone booth on Info Island, near the SL Library!

Looking good. Is it possible to get a Vivox payphone and place it in SL Manhattan (sim name: Hawthorne) maybe?
