Seamless mobility with great savings by using Voice Over Internet Protocol

Utilize VoIP with your cellular phone?–Yes!
The Motorola Messenger Modem is a revolutionary product that allows you to save costs by using your cell phone to access a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) network by using any of the voice enabled instant messenger products currently available.

Here’s how it works:
Call your home-based computer from your cell phone. The Motorola Messenger Modem will answer and activate the instant messenger software installed on your computer (All are free and easily downloaded. Yahoo, AOL, MSN, Skype*—Motorola Messenger Modem works with them all). You will be prompted to enter the code for your recipient that is preprogrammed as a “buddy” in your instant messenger software. The Motorola Messenger Modem will connect to your buddy through a broadband internet connection on your computer. You’ll enjoy a high-quality, real-time voice conversation that can span the globe for the cost of a local call. This technology works in reverse as well. If a “buddy” on your instant messenger contacts your computer, the Motorola Messenger Modem will dial out on the modem line to your cell phone. You answer the call and have a normal conversation!

Use your cell phone as a cordless phone?–yes!
If you have a Bluetooth enabled cell phone and PC and a broadband internet connection, the Motorola Messenger Modem will connect to your instant messenger software through Bluetooth and you can have a voice call without using airtime at all! Motorola Messenger Modem can also make a Bluetooth voice call through the public switched telephone network. You don’t even need a broadband internet connection.

Dial Into your corporate VoIP network for low cost calls?–YES!
In addition, Motorola Messenger Modem allows you to dial into a corporate VoIP network to take advantage of lower cost long distance phone calls.

What is a Messenger modem?
The Motorola Messenger Modem is based on the successful and proven SM56 UbiSurf softmodem–Motorola’s unique software modem. Using technology that relies on software to eliminate the need for a dedicated modem processor, the result is lower cost with a smaller footprint. The Motorola SM56 UbiSurf softmodem has already passed rigorous qualification testing. In the most important test of all, name-brand PC manufacturers have selected the Motorola softmodem to install in millions of today’s PCs.
