In an effort to provide further support to service providers in developing their business domestically and abroad, deltathree (News - Alert), Inc., a provider of SIP-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions for service providers and consumers worldwide, has announced that its Hosted Consumer VoIP Solutions has enhanced its payment method component.

deltathree’s Hosted Consumer VoIP Solution now offers additional payment methods and services, including multi-currency payments, electronic check, European Direct Debit and advanced Paypal capabilities. With these new enhancements, service providers are able to further expand their businesses and reach new markets worldwide.  

"In our continuing commitment to innovate our service for the market, deltathree is thrilled to offer yet more ways for our Hosted Consumer VoIP Solution to support the business expansion of service providers," stated Gary Coben, deltathree's Director, Hosted Consumer VoIP Solution, in a Tuesday statement. "These added payment methods give service providers a new convenience for their customers and in doing so, a compelling opportunity for business growth."

Designed to be a comprehensive, customizable turnkey solution for service providers seeking to launch their own VoIP offering with minimal investment and rapid deployment, deltathree’s Hosted Consumer VoIP Solution and its enhanced payment methods allow service providers to offer innovative VoIP service both locally and overseas. Companies can gain access to development opportunities worldwide with seamless payment options.

Service providers are able to more easily chart out plans of international expansion as they will have the ability to receive payments in various currencies. Electronic check and European Direct Debit payment capabilities present service providers with a broader customer reach. With the solution, service providers can also now accept Paypal payments in various currencies and experience automated Paypal payment processes.

joip, deltathree’s newly formed consumer group that powers the VoIP services of Panasonic’s new GLOBARANGE hybrid landline/VoIP phones, recently implemented these new payment methods. GLOBARANGE phone owners automatically become part of the global joip community, where members can call each other around the world for free, and enjoy a wide variety of advanced features and services.

The global growth that joip has enjoyed will be supported by these enhanced payment methods as they will allow for consumers around the world to purchase joip’s unique, affordable features in ways and currencies suitable to them. joip-enabled GLOBARANGE phones will be available this summer in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Austria and Russia.

The widespread demand as well as implementation and deployment of VoIP solutions has created an even greater demand for enhanced payment options for those service providers seeking to expand their offerings. Such features enable these companies to look beyond traditional expansion plans and move into markets previously inaccessible due to payment acceptance issues.

deltathree has done well to recognize this need in the market and has responded with a solution that enables its customers to make the move to VoIP without significant capital investment. This provides for a quicker return on investment, enabling these providers to continue to grow, thus creating even greater demand for deltathree solutions.
