International communication is changing with the advent
of NavinMail, a Voice Messaging Service that makes staying in touch across
the globe easy and inexpensive. The key feature of NavinMail is the
ability to call a local telephone number and leave an international voice
message in an Internet-based voice mailbox. Family, friends, and business
associates can then, in turn, call a local telephone number in their
location to listen to voice messages and reply with messages of their own.
Navin.com is thus able to provide locally accessible voice messages to a
global community for less money than a standard international phone call.
Private and secure voice messages are exchanged over the Internet as a
result of new technological advances by Navin.com, Inc. of Saratoga, in
the heart of California's Silicon Valley. This new and unique technology
uses the Internet to enhance standard telephone and voice communications.
Navin.com's CEO and founder, Vishwas Godbole, developed the NavinMail
service in order to find an economical way to stay in touch with his
mother in India. High international calling charges and a lack of readily
available email made communication between the United States and India
both difficult and expensive. NavinMail, however, uses only touch-tone
telephones, eliminating the need for email, the Internet, computers, or
other complex equipment. The advanced Internet technology used to operate
NavinMail allows the service to be offered at very competitive rates.
NavinMail also allows users to avoid the difficulties associated with
calling from different time zones. Additionally, because the NavinMail
service is designed so that callers can use their own language, there are
no language barriers. NavinMail users can easily contact people around the
world by way of a simple local phone call.
