“Why wait until everyone has broadband and computers, and

why wait until everyone is literate to empower people through

information that could be available on the web?”(1)

The future of the Web lies on voice-enabled apps accessible

even from regular phones (2)

VoIP Drupal is…

A software platform that facilitates the construction of Drupal

sites that literally pick-up the phone, make calls, record

messages, send and receive text messages, run voice polls,

and more.
