It's a Skype-esque communication service. I never used it myself though, I do occasionally use Skype.

However here in germany i still see that many copmpanies still use written letters and/or fax!!! When I moved here in 2014 I was realy surprised that they still use the fax. I personaly do not like to use the fax because i think its obsolete now in 2016. You can do wunderfull things with a scanner/modern smartphone and email:-)

I myself am addicted to email:-) But I am from the old guard.

United Domains, a Germany-based domain registrar, to my knowledge still requires a signed fax for each domain transfer. And I think that's good ; it feels like an extra layer of security. It may not go as fast as most registrars where paperworks have been abolished, but I don't think it's a negative thing.
