Vivox Voice in action.
(Credit: Screenshot by Don Reisinger/CNET)Vivox, which also provides voice services for online virtual words and accommodates more than 15 million users worldwide, is offering the application.
In order to use it, Facebook users first need to add Vivox Voice to their applications list and download a Vivox plug-in. From there, a Vivox channel and phone number are created to accept calls. Users can then place calls to (or receive calls from) Facebook friends also using the app. And because each Vivox channel has a call-in number, non-Facebook users can also participate in the conversation.
In order to invite friends to talk, an invitation is sent via Facebook chat. The recipient can click on the included link and start chatting with the other person.
I had the opportunity to use the app this morning. Overall, I was impressed by it. The installation took just a few minutes, and connecting with others was quick and easy.
The issue I had with Vivox's Facebook app was its audio quality. It's also not available for Safari on Mac OS X however the plug-in works for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Intel.
If you try it out, let us know what you think of the free app in the comments below.
