750,000 VoIP Subscribers

Source: smithonvoip.com

That’s the number Fusion Telecommunication is reporting for the first three month’s of their Efonica VoIP service. What peaked my interest about this announcement was not the 750,000 subscribers, but the number of paid subscribers. Out of a massive 750,000 subscribers only 1.33% (10,000) of them are paid subscribers. That is a pretty low conversion rate, but it is not that surprising. Most websites operate on the same sort conversion rates and do just fine.

This Efonica data directed my attention to other services, such as Skype, and got me wondering what their “conversion rate” is. It would be interesting to compare the conversion rates of all of the “free” VoIP services offering premium services.

Does anyone out there have data on any of the other free VoIP services we can use?
