Ccube is a free phone service that connects parties to any phone, whether it be mobile or land line, and offers solutions for calling long distance as well. It’s releasing a new feature set called Toolbox, which includes four new options for users to take advantage of Ccube’s calling services.
First, there’s the Web Communicator, which lets users connect with each other via phone without the necessity of needing to remember one’s phone number. This is tied in with Ccube’s account services, and lets you find contacts using keywords. The Call Me Widget is rather self-explanatory. It works like most other call me widgets, which you can place on your website or blog, and let others click on it in order to give you a call, for free.
Ccube is promoting this particular feature for business purposes as well, as the call me widget can also be placed in email signatures and on classifieds sites. You’ll need to be careful as to how you use these widgets, however. As we saw with Jajah, eBay doesn’t take to kindly to having call me widgets placed on auction listings.
There’s also a feature called My Keypad, which is an option for simply dialing a number, and a Virtual Calling Card, which can be sent to others as a way of encouraging them to give you a call. These virtual calling cards offer free nationwide calling.
