CLEAR is set to launch a new Professional Voice service that his powered by RingCentral: (Voted: "Best for Toll Free Numbers" by Inc. Magazine
). Currently, CLEAR sells consumer VOIP service but is limited to one single line per modem. This was always a huge drawback to using the CLEAR Voice service. Many consumers that use other services like Vonage have the option to add more than one line. This new service and partnership takes it to the next level and plans to offer true business voice services by leveraging a leader in the space already, RingCentral. Details are just now starting to come in but here are some info we already know:

Nice blog and I appreciate your constant update on the telecom trends.
My name is Adam Smith and I represent PBX Plus (http://www.pbxplus.com) which is based on the award winning (Best of Show for SMB at IT Expo, LA 2009) platform – InVox (http://www.invox.com).
We would like to see you signup and review PBX Plus. I would be happy to add a FREE US or UK number with unlimited minutes to your account.
Your number would greet your callers with “Thanks for calling… Please say the name of the person or department you are trying to reach.” Caller can just say your name “…“and call will be forwarded to your mobile, landline or Skype account.
The drag and drop designer (visio-like) can be used to configure PBX in just 15 mins. Wizard configures the PBX based on the answers to each question about your business.
In fact, show attendees at IT Expo walked out “This is the best I have seen till day for telephony era!”
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.
Adam Smith
