Cloud telephony startup Infratel lands $3M, adds ‘click-to-call’ to Facebook pages
Summary
Among other things, Infratel’s Facebook app allows users of the social networking service to add a “call-me-now” button to the page. When the link is clicked our web-dialer appears and a call to your pre-programmed phone number is established,” according to a description on the Infratel Web site. Infratel is led by Bryan Goode, a former vice president at Parallels who also worked at SQL Server at Microsoft. “There are more than 11 million small businesses in North America and Europe that have a website but don’t have a basic telephony presence, hindering their ability to interact with customers”, said Bryan Goode, CEO of Infratel. “Our goal in closing this investment round with Prostor and Runa is to bring intuitive, easy to use communications solutions to help these small businesses grow and prosper.” Infratel offers its service for a monthly fee, starting at 150 minutes for $6.99 and up to 2000 minutes for $69.99.
