Phound Becomes First Phone Service to Bring Smart, Trusted Conversations to Everyone, All Powered by Magnum AI
LONG BEACH, Calif., June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Phound, the trusted app for secure calls and messaging, features Magnum AI, the built-in assistant that quietly transforms everyday conversations into clear, trusted takeaways. From business calls and team meetings to quick chats with clients, Magnum AI automatically helps users remember what was said, who said it, and what needs to happen next. It's now available to everyone using Phound with a Premium subscription. No notes? No problem. Magnum creates a smart summary for every call, including key points, decisions, and next steps. Know what matters. Every conversation is saved as a trusted record, so you can search, share, or follow up with confidence. Your invisible teammate. Magnum AI, after being invited to the call, works in the background—no extra steps, no interruptions, just results. Phound is also the first consumer and business phone service to bring this level of conversation intelligence to general users, all powered by CarrierX's vCon platform for virtualized conversations. vCons are structured, secure digital records that organize calls and meetings into searchable, trustworthy memories. It's a new way to communicate, with built-in clarity and accountability. By leveraging CarrierX's Zero-Hop Connect to all three major U.S. mobile operators and HD audio technology, the call's audio is captured with the least delay and the highest voice quality today. "People are overwhelmed by meetings, messages, and follow-ups," said Dave Erickson, co-founder of Phound. "Magnum AI is here to change that. It doesn't just listen, it helps you move forward. And with vCons at the center of it, you always have a trusted version of what really happened." Magnum AI marks a turning point for everyday communication. It combines AI memory with verified trust, something previously only available to large enterprise systems. "Phound continues democratizing calling, providing individuals and businesses with the most modern, trusted, and most feature-rich service available that offers free calling and texting anywhere," added Erickson.

As Skype Has Sunsetted, Phound Emerges as the Trusted Successor for Secure, Personalized Communication LONG BEACH, Calif., May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When Microsoft announced the official end-of-life for consumer Skype services on May 5, 2025, millions of users were left evaluating their next step.
