That has not been verified. Their website can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.voipinc.com\/\">viewed here.<\/a> It was reported in January of this year in a <a href=\"http:\/\/news.com.com\/Google+signs+VoIP+agreement\/2100-7352_3-6033428.html\">number of on-line journals<\/a> that Google was using their services for the beta.<\/p>\n<p>Now we all wait for Google to move this feature onto their main organic results page so that it is truly useful and not just a very cool technology that most people can&#8217;t find. Typical users rarely make it into the Google Map listing area and they miss out on coupons as well. <\/p>\n<p>Although if it is active on Mobile Maps that would make it accessible and useful.
