RF.com is a San Francisco-based company focusing on the development of software and services that allow mobile telephone devices to converge Internet and traditional calling.

The company’s first product, the RF Dialer (http://rf.com), is a web-based application for the Apple iPhone that allows users to make Internet calls over their cell phone’s GSM network. RF Dialer is the first iPhone application that allows SIP URI calls, calls to Voice over IM Services (such as Skype, Google Talk, MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger), and other IP-based voice services.

In addition, the RF Dialer allows for integration with thousands of SIP-based VoIP telephone providers and IP-based PBXes (such as the popular open=source Asterisk PBX and Communigate Pro.), allowing business users to utilize their iPhone as a direct PBX extension.

Each drop has a phone number and custom extension (just like each has an email address). Dial the number, wait for the prompt, enter your extension and start talking. Whatever you say we will convert to an MP3 and put on your drop in a matter of a few seconds…for you to listen to, download, share, use however you want.
You can call a drop to:

1. Record a speech or lecture for future review, use, sharing
2. Keep a personal audio journal
3. Keep a private family or group audio-blog
4. The world’s simplest podcast system
5. Send and save messages to hard to reach family abroad
6. Give commentary on what you are sharing in a drop (like an auction item)
7. Give feedback to a team (best when coupled with the subscription function)
8. Patch a drop into a conference call to record the discussion for the team
9. Anything else you can think of…
