…Remotely with Vox, because the world as we know it has drastically changed.
Back in the day, it was all small communities and big families. Next door neighbours were an extension of your clan. You knew everyone in the neighbourhood (and their business, plus a weird nickname based on some embarrassing life story), and the only people who went overseas generally came back after 6 weeks loaded with gifts.
Today, the world has changed. Times have changed. We’ve become complexly complicit of complexes and apartments with interchangeable neighbours. In a world where families are spread like butter and friends too busy, staying connected isn’t just a convenience – it’s essential. Maybe your parents still live in your hometown. Maybe your sister moved overseas. Maybe you’re in a long-distance relationship, or you’re the one hiding in exile. Whatever the case, technology today bridges the gaps and keeps relationships strong.
Great idea in theory, right? But anyone who’s actually had to do it knows that it’s one thing to HAVE the phone or tech, it’s another to be able to use them correctly.
But, enough exposition, let’s get into the meat and potatoes. Here’s how tech is turning “long-distance” into, well, shorter distances? Or at least making them more bearable.
A picture beats a thousand words
True, texting has its merits. Who doesn’t love thumbs up emojis and broadcast messages from their Gran? Although it is endlessly comforting, nothing beats the feeling of seeing a loved one’s face. Video calls bring conversations and energy to life. Real-time laughter, expressions, hiding tears – what’s not to love?
Beyond calls, connection is built on sharing everyday moments. Whether photos of your family trip and snippets of your kids first steps, even a voice note while driving home can make others feel part of your life, no matter where they reside.
As for special occasions, every milestone can be all-inclusive with the right tools. You can easily dial in to birthdays and weddings, host video dinners, have an online movie night or play games together for a true bonding experience.
Introducing Vobi – making keeping in touch as simple as 1,2,3
The fact is, not everyone has unlimited minutes or wants to burn through their Data. That’s where Vobi comes in – Vox’s easy-to-use calling up which lets you:
- Make affordable local/international calls using Wi-Fi or Data.
- Keep (or route) your own personal number to call your loved ones.
- Save costs in comparison to regular airtime rates.
- Manage one fixed cost vs multiple top-ups or expensive bundles.
- Stay connected with minimal buffering, even when signal isn’t too great.
Vobi is perfect for those daily check-ins, extensive catch ups, or late-night crush calls without being interrupted by the “one minute remaining” lady (who always sounds so, so angry).
All of this, from Vobi to Video, relies on one thing – solid, high-speed Internet. Vox ensures your connection is strong enough for crystal clear calling (we’re the #1 VoIP provider in South Africa for a reason), uninterrupted video chats, and an overall smooth online experience no matter the device.
Fact is, life moves fast – but relationships are what ultimately keep us grounded. With Vox’s high-speed Connectivity and the Vobi App, staying in touch and connecting is no longer a shlep – it’s as simple as picking up the device already semi-grafted to your hand.
We’ll do the rest.
Stay connected, stay human, and stay in touch with Vox today.
