How it started
History
Deltathree was founded in 1996 and on March 14, 1997, first demonstrated a direct telephone conversation over the Internet. By June 1999, deltathree's PC-to-Phone and Phone-to-Phone services became commercially available. In September 2001 the iConnectHere brand and service was launched with even lower rates that initially offered.
On December 19, 2001, Deltathree announced that iConnectHere would offer its PC-to-phone service to MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger users in 17 countries.
In 2007, Deltathree launched a communications solution called JoIP jointly with Panasonic. JoIP is a service enabling regular phone owners of Panasonic's Globrange to make cheap international calls.
In July 2010, Deltathree launched a communications solution called the JoIP Mobile (mobile.joip.com). This VoIP mobile dialer can be downloaded to the mobile (practically any smartphone) of the user: BlackBerry OS, Symbian OS, Android OS and iPhone. Windows OS and Blackberry will soon be launched as well.
On August 1, 2017, Deltathree, LLC, provider of iConnecthere discontinued service.
