Canadians Get RFed

We’ve been threatening this for a while and we finally did it. Today, RF.com took it’s first big step towards internationalization.

OK. Perhaps not that big a step, just a little one across the northern border. But for all intents and purposes, RF.com’s presence in Canada makes it a lot easier for us to launch throughout the rest of the iPhone world in short order.

Being in Canada means that we now offer a local calling POP to those who sign up with RF.com in Canada. The service offered in Canada is exactly the same as what we’ve been dishing up in the US for past few months: Free Skype, GoogleTalk, Yahoo, MSN, SIP URI calling; free use of your own VoIP provider to make calls; free full integration with Asterisk and other IP-capable PBXes.

Soon (and by that we mean this month), we’ll begin offering RF.com in Europe and elsewhere (our closed tests in Europe are going splendidly).

Big things are coming . . .

    Just discovering RF so far, and glad to see you’re adding support for Canada. Do you have a list of the available local calling POPs for other Canadian cities? Toronto is a VERY long way away from Vancouver, and clearly not a “local call”.

    Dear RF Team,

    I have been very interested in VOIP applications on the iPhone and was frankly close to giving up. I tried certain well known clients (one that rhymes with “ring” and “phone”) and they didn’t work too well with my voip provider.

    Alas, I just RF.COM’s iphone web-app and was *totally impressed*. I don’t know how your implementation works, but, no echo at all! I now get what RF.COM does. I paired RF.COM with VOIP.MS and it works like a charm for outbound PSTN termination.

    I have one small suggestion. As you can import Google contacts into the RF.com account, the app automatically pairs up the contact # (or URI) with a “calling service”. If it’s a phone number, can you please make it so that the app can allow the user to choose a calling service and not defaulting to the cell phone? I would prefer to make the choice on the fly if I want to use my cell provider or my voip provider (assuming i’m in a hotspot).

    Anyhow, fabulous app.

    Regards,
    BP
