Globe7 announced the update of its voice over internet protocol (VoIP) desktop communication tool, Globe7 3.0 Beta, which offers users free call minutes through watching video ads.

The service also features news, 1 GB free storage space for video and photo uploading and instant messaging.

With Globe7 3.0 Beta, members can receive a real, U.S. telephone number, which allows them to make and receive telephone calls from any computer, cell phone and landline.

Advertisers who have signed up with the service include WalMart and Amazon.com.

"With the latest version of Globe7 3.0 Beta, the company is poised to capture a commanding share of the U.S. Market," says David Buchanan, CEO of te-nac-i-ty, the media partner of Globe7. "The unique ability to watch videos and video commercials, and receive free calling privileges just for watching TV will revolutionize both the VOIP and the interactive advertising industry."
