Communities
IDT Corporation (NYSE:IDT), a leading provider of voice and payment
services for immigrant communities around the world, today announced
that its Boss Revolution mobile app continues to win praise within the
mobile and app communities for its affordability, convenience and ease
of use.
Available for both Android and Apple iOS phones, the app was most
recently recognized as the Best Telecommunication Mobile App of 2013 by
MoviForum. The award was presented on November 5th at the
MoviFest award ceremony at MoviForum 2013.
In addition to the Moviforum recognition, the Boss Revolution mobile app
was highly praised by the app review site appPicker (www.apppicker.com),
which stated, “Maintaining regular communication with your friends,
family, and business associates who live overseas can sometimes be
costly and inconvenient, even if you use calling cards, but with BOSS
Revolution: Simple, Easy and Cheap International Calling App at your
disposal, you’re sure to save a pretty penny! This is a great app which
definitely receives a hearty recommendation from me.”
“We are thrilled with the reception the Boss Revolution mobile app has
received since being introduced on Android and iOS phones less than a
month ago,” said Bill Pereira, CEO to IDT Telecom. “Already, customers
are using the app to make millions of minutes of international calls per
month and industry followers are acclaiming the app’s affordable and
convenient international long distance calling.”
Jonathan Nierenberg, SVP of IDT Global Services accepted the award at
MoviFest, and pointed out that IDT’s Global Services business offers a
full featured version of the Boss Revolution mobile app. “The Boss
Revolution mobile app rounds out our robust portfolio of customer facing
offerings and provides our managed services clients with a deeper value
add,” he said.
The Boss Revolution mobile app features one touch dialing. Customers
simply tap an entry in their contact list to initiate a call. There is
no need to enter lengthy access numbers or PINs. Boss Revolution
customers are using the app to make calls utilizing their cellular
services, data plans, or Wi-Fi.
New Boss Revolution customers who download the app get a $1 free trial
