Labatt Canada / Budweiser Partnership
Hey everyone!
I am happy to announce that at 11:00am (EST) July 20th 2010, freephoneline along with Labatt Canada announced it's enormous partnership spawning the creation of a series of media branded phones similar to freephonelines' own software.
This partnership has brought a lot of changes to us at freephoneline and will bring many more to come in the future to benefit you all!
--------------------------
Budweiser, Canada's number one selling beer, today announced Bud Phone, a new online application that will allow Canadian fans to stay connected with home no matter where they happen to be traveling in the world.
Fans can connect to this technology provided by Freephoneonline.ca, which turns any Mac or PC into a free phone line through the Budweiser Canada facebook page. When Budweiser fans connect to Bud Phone, they will each get their own Canadian phone number and will be able to call anywhere locally for free, as well as most cities in Canada.
The Bud Phone application is incredibly relevant for Budweiser drinkers and for our brand, said Christine Hamilton, Associate Brand Manager, Budweiser Canada. It allows people to stay in touch wherever they are on the world, while taking into account their limited budgets. Bud Phone is extremely significant for young adults who are away at university, home for the summer or travelling the world.
People are increasingly mobile and are always looking for new and improved ways to communicate while on the go, said John Stix, Chief Marketing Officer, freephoneonline.ca. Bud Phone does just that by allowing Canadian users to take their new free phone line service with them wherever they are in the world.

Ah, a new level of drunk dialing! That is pretty awesome, this should get you guys some nice exposure.
BTW, Haligonians drink a lot of beer, any news on when incoming numbers for Halifax are coming?

Not bad, I'm impressed!
Re: Labatt Canada / Budweiser Partnership
I thought I would be able to download the Bud Phone and plug in my FPL account details, but alas it did not work. I thought it might be a work around for the funny green skin you have on the beta softphone. The bud phone would be much more desirable.
Any chance you could offer it as an alternative to existing FPL users?

Re: Labatt Canada / Budweiser Partnership
Right now the details are stored on separate servers , just so we can easily track what product has what amount of users. I'm unsure at this point if there'd ever be an option of cross-platform login abilities, but I will certainly pass the suggestion around here for youJake wrote:I thought I would be able to download the Bud Phone and plug in my FPL account details, but alas it did not work.

Re: Labatt Canada / Budweiser Partnership
Actual I was hoping to try freephonelines softphone but my Bud phone username and password will not work @ http://www.freephoneline.ca and I do not need another phone #.
I don't even know what freephonelines softphones UI looks like as I have never seen a screen shot anywhere on the site till just now in the above post.
I figured the tracking would have been by phone # but I guess the separate server is a logical choice.
