• February 20, 2012: Vobal proudly announces On-Net calling!
  • On-Net calling is a revolutionary new way for fleet operators to manage communications costs. One low monthly fee allows for unlimited calling between any two of our devices. Calling your ship from your office (and vice versa) is just like dialing an extension down the hall. Read the announcement.

     

  • December 19, 2011: Welcome to our newest Service Resellers!
  • We are very happy to announce not one, not two, but three new Resellers! On the S3 side of things, welcome to our old friends from Globecomm Maritime (fka Telaurus Communications) and to our new friends from Greece and Cyprus: Traffic Net Limited (TNL). Also, as we continue to expand our relationship with GMN and support their sales of the wXa-503, we have also signed up GMPCS as a reseller of the Vobal services provided through GMN's web accelerator device.  Welcome everyone!

  • November 8, 2011: The S2 is officially being launched at Barcelona!
  • With a lower up-front cost, the S2 Server is a perfect entry-level way to experience Vobal's VoIP technology on board your vessel. Reduce your operations calling costs (especially shore-to-ship) and provide an inexpensive way for crew members to contact home. The only thing better is the S3.

  • Dec. 6, 2010: Major pricing overhaul
  • We've been working very hard to improve our technology. We've gotten our bandwidth usage so low that we've been able to radically reduce pricing across the board for those who want a reimbursement for bandwidth! We've also taken the opportunity to look at our A-Z pricing globally and have made some adjustments. Some costs from our suppliers have gone up, but some have gone down. Our prices to you reflect that. We think all-in-all you'll be pretty pleased.
