eVoice

eVoice was founded in 2000 by Wendell Brown, Mark Klein, and Craig Taro Gold. Based at that time in Menlo Park, CA., eVoice was the world's first large-scale, Internet-enabled voicemail system. eVoice supplied voicemail solutions to MCI and AT&T, as well as web portals and VoIP providers including Qwest, Snowball, and Dialpad.

eVoice was acquired by AOL Time-Warner in July 2008 and merged into AOLbyPhone. Before the acquisition, eVoice raised more than $50 million in funding from idealab!, BlueRun Ventures (formerly Nokia Ventures), Oak Investment Partners, and Worldview Technology Partners.

In June 2004, the eVoice brand name and internet domain were acquired by j2 Global (NASDAQ:JCOM). j2 Global, Inc. is a cloud services company that offers voice, email, online fax, and online backup services.

eVoice's Australian division was first established in Australia and New Zealand in 1995 as Zintel Communications, which was acquired by eVoice in 2012.
