eHarmony To Implement Voice Over IP For Love Connections
July 16, 2007 – 9:02 amIt’s funny how online dating is coming back full circle. Online matchmaking company eHarmony recently announced that they were implementing VoIP (Voice Over IP) to help people make love connections.
The new service will protect users by not disclosing any personal information such as their home or business address or personal phone numbers of the subscriber.
“Online services have brought a new way for people to meet, but the structure of how two people come together hasn’t changed since the beginning of time,” says Greg Waldorf, CEO of eHarmony. “People want to take gradual steps toward an ultimate relationship. The connection starts online, and it leads to a phone call.”
The new service is expected to cost around $6.00 monthly for unlimited phone calls.
What do you think of this move by eHarmony? Do you think it will be a winner for daters online?

If they keep up with the subpar offerings of some of the VoIP providers it should give daters a convenient out:
“What was that? What did you say?”
(nothing but static)
“I still can’t hear …” (click!)

Good point, MBlair. The VoIP industry seems to be having some real problems delivering what they offer.
We’ve considered switching, (at our home) but the instability within the industry is enough to keep us with a dependable LAN line..
