Riss continued, “Free calls are also available from the Android device to an Ojo Vision Video phone that runs on the VoX network.  We are very excited about the quality and multiple uses provided by the app, and we have already met with a tablet manufacturer to demonstrate how well the app works on an Android tablet.”
