VoIP platform provider GlobeTel Communications today launched a VoIP-based communications network for Brazilian iLigue.com.br. The portal now offers Brazilian telecom customers calling services locally and around the world.

 

VozBrasil.com, a VoIP network used by Brazilians living in the United States, was launched two weeks ago. iLigue is today being rolled out in conjunction with GlobeTel’s Brazilian partners, first in the northeastern region of Brazil, then continuously throughout the remainder of the country. The network enables Brazilian residents to obtain a telephone number in Brazil, the US or in any other country without the need for either broadband Internet access or special equipment.

 

iLigue.com.br customers in Brazil who would like to receive calls from friends or family in the US without incurring the normal charges associated with making calls from the US to Brazil, can now have a local US phone number issued by GlobeTel. The US number is linked with any location the Brazilian customer elects, including home phones, business phones or cell phones.

 

"Telecommunications tariffs in Brazil are extremely high,” said GlobeTel's VoIP Division president Dan Erdberg in a statement. “We've developed a system specifically for Brazil that not only allows our customers to have local phone numbers and service in Brazil, with the ability to call within their state or anywhere in the country at a very low cost, but it also gives them the ability to have a US-based phone number that can be forwarded to their Brazil-based cell phone, home phone or office phone.

 

Erdberg continued: “This is very useful for Brazilians who do business in the US, or those with family connections in the US, for example sons and daughters studying in America or other relatives who have immigrated to America. In addition, we've dramatically reduced the cost of international calls made on our network from Brazil to other countries," said GlobeTel's VoIP Division president Dan Erdberg in a statement.”

 

GlobeTel recently made news when it announced that it received a "warning letter" from the American Stock Exchange stating that it was not in compliance with AMEX rules regarding the listing of additional shares. The news follows the recent resignation of Laina Raveendran Greene from the company's Board of Directors.

 

The company explained in its news communiqué that the warning resulted from it not filing an Application to List Additional Shares with regard to certain share issuances the company made since its initial listing. GlobeTel claims that it has subsequently submitted the application to the AMEX.
