Voxbone S.A. is a global communication as a service (CaaS) company offering telephony applications such as conferencing platforms and call centers to send and receive phone calls, text messages and faxes.[1]
History
editVoxbone was founded in Brussels, Belgium, in 2005 by Rodrigue Ullens and Francois Struman as Voxbone SA/NV.[2] As a consultant for telecom operators, Ullens noticed the growing demand for phone numbers from other countries and decided to create the business.[3] The founders’ mission was to offer simplified access to telephony resources through the cloud.[4]
In August 2015 Vitruvian Partners LLP (“Vitruvian”) announced that it had acquired a majority stake in Voxbone SA.[5]
In March 2019 Voxbone announced the launch of its enterprise platform.[6]
On October 12, 2020 Voxbone announced its acquisition by Bandwidth for €446 million EUR.[7] On November 2, 2020, it was announced that the deal had been finalized.[8][9]
Services
editVoxbone provides two-way voice and messaging services from the cloud for businesses—predominantly companies that specialise in scams and cold-calling [10]. These services include local, national, mobile and toll-free phone numbers (commonly known as direct inward dialing numbers).[11] Voxbone also supports local number portability and offers the ability to port existing local telephone numbers from other local service providers to its network.[12][13]
