Phone Power Energizes Broadband Voice Revolution
| Source: Metaswitch Networks
ALAMEDA, CA--(Marketwire - December 15, 2009) - In the highly competitive market of telephone
services, thriving companies are building on two fundamental tenets for
success: broadband and innovation. Phone
Power, a fast-growing Los Angeles-based VoIP provider, is using both in
partnership with Metaswitch
Networks to plug into a high-growth opportunity that delivers more
voice features, to more subscribers, for less.
The secret sauce inside Phone Power's marketing success is an all-IP
network infrastructure that delivers aggressively priced service bundles
with a wide range of advanced features included at no additional charge.
Compared to a traditional telephone company model, the Phone Power offer is
hard to beat: With a two-year contract, consumers pay as little as $14.95
per month. Businesses can choose from a range of competitively priced
offers, including hosted services. In addition, a recent deal inked with
Best Buy to offer the Phone Power residential package in all its stores
nationwide has broadened Phone Power's reach.
The model has worked well to both attract and retain increasingly demanding
and cost-conscious customers. "Today's customers have high expectations
when it comes to features, especially things like call routing," said Jim
Murphy, president of Phone Power. "Call forwarding is not enough. Today's
consumers expect sophisticated find-me, follow-me features that they manage
themselves on the web. More than thirty percent of our new customers come
from referrals, and referrals are only made by people who love your
service, your features and your price."
Founded in 2005, Phone Power has built a substantial base of VoIP
subscribers through organic growth and acquisitions. To accommodate the
company's needs for a scalable solution that can handle the addition of
100,000 subscribers, Phone Power works with Metaswitch Networks to build
their all-IP core service infrastructure. "We selected Metaswitch's MetaSphere solution for
our killer service bundles because it provides the most comprehensive range
of innovative voice features compared to any other vendor we evaluated,"
highlighted Murphy.
As Phone Power grows, so the network grows. And while subscribers love the
low cost and highly featured phone service, Phone Power keeps customer
churn well below the industry norm by providing great support and equipment
reliability.
