Phonebooth Free featured on Mashable.com

Christina Warren from Mashable posted a great article on Phonebooth Free as an Alternative to Google Voice for Small Businesses. We now offer the perfect solution for small businesses, freelancers and independent professionals:

“Phonebooth Free is, from what I can find, the only free VoIP-based phone system that will give you a local number with up to five extensions, offer call forwarding to multiple sources, voicemail with transcription, and the ability to let users connect with you from the web (like the Google Voice widget) for free.”

Step Into Your Phonebooth … Setup Has Never Been Easier!

The latest release now lets you step into your Phonebooth by using what we call “The Stepper,” our latest effort to bring to you a powerful, hosted phone system in the cloud with a simple, beautiful user interface.

Our goal? Help new customers get their first, hosted phone system up and running in minutes.

Our solution? Provide a step by step tutorial of the Phonebooth OnDemand interface.

But we added a twist. The tutorial isn’t just a static demonstration of your Phonebooth’s capabilities. No. It is a live, interactive tutorial of the actual interface. With intelligence, to boot. As you step through the features, you actually create your first users, groups, shared spaces, and auto attendants.

Live. In real time. With tips and tricks.

And it is repeatable.

From the dashboard, you can now “step into” any tutorial the Stepper offers. You know, if you forget how to do something when you hire that new office assistant that helps you do that blah blah blah.

Oh, did “from the dashboard” make you scrunch your brow? Yep. There’s a new dashboard. It helps you view a snapshot of your account. How many users are you paying for? Shared spaces? Check. And check. How many groups, conferences, and auto attendants have I set up? There, too.

The dashboard is available as the first screen when you log in. To get back to it, there is a “Help” link at the top of every page.

And this is how we intend to orient you on new features. Log in. Dashboard features new “steppers” that guide you through what’s new with your Phonebooth.

Phonebooth can do a lot. Complex call flows can be set up to fit your business’ needs. Our goal is to provide the power in the easiest way possible. So, don’t feel overwhelmed. Step into your Phonebooth today with the Stepper.
