Line2 for androids will explode Mobile Media Revolution
You might be asking, “Why?”
Great question! For starters, Line2 took 1st Place in the 2011 Mobile Apps Showdown at the Consumer Electronics Show. Additionally, Line2, which has been available for iPhones, is now available for androids as of January, 2011. Line2 gives you two lines on one phone, and, as David Pogue with the New York Times says, “has the potential to shake up an industry.”
You only have to look at what Toktumi is already doing to reinvent telecommunications. Its award-winning Line2 app allows you to have two lines on one phone…the only dual-mode VoIP/cellular system in the world that enables you to both send and receive calls in this manner. Line 2 is currently only available on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch (yes it can make those last two into a phone!). Soon… in January of 2011…Line 2 will be available for the android series. That is the BIG and exciting news. (UPDATE TO THIS POST: It has happened. It is available for androids now!)
Toktumi offers PBX features like auto-attendant (“Press 1 for…”), call screening, caller-specific call forwarding, after-hours settings, Mac/PC-based calling, and Desk Top Share. Line 2 comes as part of the package (or you can get just that part separate if you don’t need the previous features).

Peter Sisson speaks…People listen!
Peter is Peter Sisson, Founder and CEO of Toktumi with the award-winning Line2 app. Look what he’s saying relative to air travel and overseas travel and how Toktumi Unlimited with Line 2 can impact it.
“Most airlines prohibit voice calls on airplanes, and in survey after survey we see that most travelers agree with this position. Toktumi applauds the air carriers for continuing to upgrade their fleets with Wi-Fi, because email, web surfing and texting are wonderful benefits while in flight. But we do not condone the use of Line2 or any other application to make voice calls over Wi-Fi inside the passenger cabin. That would drive everybody crazy!”
As a safe and considerate alternative to voice calls, the Line2 app offers carrier-grade SMS texting, allowing customers to exchange unlimited text messages with any SMS-enabled phone on any carrier. Unlike competing texting-only applications for the iPhone, the Line2 app combines VoIP calling and texting in one application, so that customers can use one number for both types of communication. There is no other calling app available on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch that offers this.
Line2′s carrier-grade SMS texting is really useful while in flight,” Sisson adds. “You can let people know about delays, make plans for the evening, or just pass the time texting with your friends and family.”
Line2 customers get unlimited calling and unlimited SMS texting. When calculating the savings achieved by moving to the most affordable AT&T calling plan and using Line2 over Wi-Fi for voice calls, users can reduce their cell phone bill by as much as $50 per month.
More About Line2 & why soon being available for the androids is BIG news!
Here’s how Line2 being the first and only truly dual-mode VoIP/cellular calling app for the iPhone impacts customers. Among other features, they can place and receive calls over Wi-Fi or over cellular using the same number. If Wi-Fi isn’t available, Line2 will use the cellular network to place or receive the call. Customers also have the option of placing VoIP calls over the 3G data network, allowing them to avoid cellular minute charges while still having complete mobility. The application detects the best available network based on customer preferences and places and receives calls over that network automatically.
Line2 is also one of the few VoIP apps that features true multi-tasking support on Apple’s iOS4. This means customers can receive calls on their Line2 number even when they are running other apps, browsing the web, or listening to music. Line2 customers can be sure to never miss a call, even if they don’t have cell reception.
Line2′s Wi-Fi capabilities allow international travelers to place and receive calls while overseas without incurring voice or data roaming charges. Using Line2, calls to any number back home will be free, as will calls to other Line2 users, wherever they are worldwide. Calls to international numbers start at $0.02 per minute, whether calling from home or abroad. Line2′s Wi-Fi call quality is also better than traditional cellular quality, and Wi-Fi calls between two Line2 customers use 16-kHz HD audio for crystal clear sound quality that is stunning to experience.
When Peter speaks, people listen!
Be listening. The highly-anticipated announcement about Line2 for the androids should come soon!
