Newly Launched PokeTalk Offers Consumers Free Long Distance Phone Service Through Mobiles and Landlines
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) NEW YORK, NY, November 12 / MARKET WIRE/ --
As the sluggish economy causes consumers to
constantly reign in spending, PokeTalk, the first completely free and clear
VOIP long distance calling service, is offering a special promotion for the
holiday season. From November 24th to December 31st, PokeTalk will offer
customers double the amount of free calls it currently offers -- now 100
free calls per month, which is over 16 hours of free calls, from landline
or mobile phones without any special equipment, monthly subscriptions or
additional fees. A consumer simply logs on to PokeTalk's ad-supported
site, www.poketalk.com, inputs their phone number and the number they wish
to call and PokeTalk immediately connects all parties.
Tamir Galili, president and CEO of PokeTalk explains, "The holiday season
is when many people reach out to loved ones, friends, and relatives long
distance or even overseas. PokeTalk makes it easy for them to connect,
giving them the same convenience and low cost of Internet calling but with
much better clarity, less hassle and no special equipment or additional
fees. With PokeTalk, budget-minded consumers won't have to resort to cheap
phone cards or compromise call quality to save money on phone calls."
By connecting calls to the user's landline or mobile phone, PokeTalk
negates one of the biggest obstacles and consumer complaints facing other
popular Internet phone services -- being tethered to a PC or having to use
special accessories such as headsets to place a call. And because PokeTalk
connects calls over existing phone lines, recipients do not need any
special hardware or software to receive calls.
PokeTalk subsidizes its phone service by displaying targeted advertising on
the screen, rather than charging additional connection fees or playing
intrusive ads over the phone during the call -- another characteristic of
other popular free Internet phone services. PokeTalk's advertisements are
tailored to the caller's profile and serve as effective engagement points
for advertisers.
Launching its Beta version less than two weeks ago on November 1st, the
company to date has more than 30,000 users worldwide and is growing by the
thousands each week.
