ePhoenix – cardless IDD solution

It used to be a long long time ago when internet and smartphones weren’t that readily available, and I used a lot of IDD calling cards to stay in touch back then!

Movie: Brave

You know how fairy tales are all about the guy being the hero? Rescuing the damsel in distress and also showing off his macho-ness. Fairy tales teach the boys to be strong and brave, but what if the tables are turned and it’s the girl’s chance to be brave instead? Girls do want to be brave and adventurous too!
