I was just alerted to a new service by Ifbyphone - "The Voice of the Web" called Phone-Me-Now. This is a really cool service that allows you to instantly connect with potential customers or client. I tried out the service on their website and it works very well. You simply click a link that generates a pop up window, where you are prompted to enter your phone number. Seconds later you get a phone call. Nothing could be simpler. Plus, there’s absolutely no technical expertise needed. Phone-Me-Now lets you connect your blog, Word document, PowerPoint presentations, PDF documents, web page or email message with your customer’s telephone. Instantly. My idea for using a service like this would be a landing page where a potential lead could click the link for more information, enter their phone number and receive a call from me instantly. I would set up an automated message for the call back or have my third party call center, if arrangements could be made, to make the call. This opens up some interesting affiliate marketing strategies that I will have to explore.

Ifbyphone Releases revolutionary Phone-Me-Now: the world’s first Zero Configuration Click to Call
With 100 free minutes per month Phone-Me-Now
Promises to be biggest Killer App of 2008
Chicago, IL: December, 2007 - Ifbyphone, a voice infrastructure and applications development company providing enterprise class services to Small and Medium sized Businesses (SMB’s), has just released a solution destined to revolutionize the web to voice space: Phone-Me-Now, a zero configuration click to call application. To introduce Phone-Me-Now to hundreds of thousands of businesses that will be able to use it as a sales tool, Ifbyphone is making it available free of charge for 6 months and providing the first 100 minutes per month of usage for free as well.
This patent pending solution can be integrated in less then 60 seconds into any website, email or hyperlinked document and requires no experience to configure. It’s literally the Internet’s first instant voice mash up tool.
"While many companies provide click to call services we were troubled by how complex they are to use. Users had to cut and paste HTML or javascript, rendering these services outside of the technical reach of thousands of businesses. Once we designed this patent pending solution we configured our existing smart click to call services to work with the Phone-Me-Now interface." says Irv Shapiro, Founder and CEO of Ifbyphone. The zero configuration Phone-Me-Now service is literally the Holy Grail of web to telephone integration and ease of use.
Using Phone-Me-Now is as simple as typing:
www.phone-me-now/your-business-number
into any web site, Word Document, Powerpoint Presentation, Spreadsheet, PDF or email. When a reader clicks on the link they are prompted for their telephone number and the Ifbyphone systems call your business, calls the reader and conferences the call. Phone-Me-Now works with any telephone number you register on your Ifbyphone account.
"We wanted to eliminate any barriers to basic click to call, and know that Phone-Me-Now will immediately set an industry standard for rapid deployment. If the Internet is all about speed and response, what could be a more appropriate Killer App for 2008 than Phone-Me-Now, which puts a business owner in instant voice communication with their customers," adds Shapiro.
Free Phone-Me-Now accounts can be updated to additional Ifbyphone packages that include:
- Click to Call with Custom Dialog Forms
- Integrated Call Routing and Reporting
- Find Me
- Virtual Voice Mail
- Virtual Receptionist
- Outbound Voice Broadcast
- Web Configured Voice Dialogs (Hosted IVR)
- Call Recording
- Backend Database Integration
- A Complete Call Management API
All Ifbyphone solutions work with any telephone system and are fully portable if a company moves from one telephone transport vendor to another.
