Orcon combines phone & modem: Genius!

Orcon’s new Genius is the first product to combine
a VoIP phone handset and wireless ADSL2+ modem – you can also plug a regular phone handset into the device to make calls over the internet.

It's available now to customers all over NZ, rather than just those in the large cities.

“The beauty here is that the way you use the phone doesn’t change. It’s the background smarts that take advantage of putting calls over the internet that changes, so you won’t notice any difference apart from the size of your bill,” said Orcon CEO Scott Bartlett in a press release.

“This is the way of the future – pretty soon all content will be transferred via your internet connection. With Orcon Genius you can bin the traditional fixed phone line and make your phone calls over the internet and save money.”
As we went to press, prices had not been revealed, but Bartlett said that packages would start from $70 per month.

Orcon Genius has additional features, such as sending your voicemail as an audio file to your email address. Users can also charge USB-powered cell phones and MP3 players, and use it as central place to back-up files to an external hard drive.

Orcon is also launching a version of Orcon Genius that ships without a handset, called Orcon Genius lite.
