Another
Napster? Go2Call is first to provide free web-based calling
across the US, Canada and Europe
International PC-to-phone service provider, Go2Call today
announced expansion of its free, one-click calling service to the US
and Canada. Using
Go2Call’s web-based technology, online consumers from anywhere in
the world can now easily place calls from their computers to
telephones in the US and Canada, as well as the UK, Ireland and
Germany.
Go2Call’s
expansion of services to the US and Canada follows its successful
launch of free calling to Europe in June 2000.
Since the introduction of free calling services, the number of
Go2Call members has doubled every two weeks and members from 170
countries have placed millions of minutes of calls.
“We
are obsessed with helping people save on their long distance bills by
making Internet calling easy,” says Go2Call co-founder, John Nix.
“Internet calling is revolutionizing how people communicate,
and Go2Call is leading the way for users around the world to benefit
from free, high quality calls.”
Internet
calling is a rapidly growing market and according to recent analyst
projections published in Business
Week, is expected to account for 17 percent of global telecom
traffic by 2003.(1) Go2Call’s
free calling service to the US and Canada is part of the company’s
strategy to provide the easiest Internet calling service to the
countries that people call most.
Go2Call’s
free calling destinations represent four of the five largest countries
for international telephone calls, based on global telecommunications
data from the research firm TeleGeography.(2)
These countries also include the world’s largest Internet
populations, representing more than 50 percent of global online users.
Go2Call
Makes Internet Calling Easy
Go2Call
is focused on providing consumers with “the easiest calling to the
world” (TM), and has designed its services to provide quick and
simple calling for even the most inexperienced Internet user.
Go2Call has developed unique, “server-side” technology, so
users do not need to go through a time-consuming download and install
process to begin calling, and have the flexibility to place free calls
using different computers, whether at home or on the road.
To
place free calls, members simply log-on from the Go2Call home page at
Go2Call.com enter the number they wish to call and hit ‘go’. For convenient access to frequently called numbers, members
can also place a one-click call from their personalized, Go2Call
address book. Go2Call’s
free calling service is available to anyone with Internet access, a
multimedia computer, speakers and a microphone.
For the best quality calls, a 28k or greater connection speed,
and a headset, are recommended.
New
callers who are unsure about their computer’s readiness to place
PC-to-phone calls can take advantage of Go2Call’s QuickCheck (TM), a
self-assessment tool that provides free, customized recommendations
regarding their computer system compatibility, and tips to ensure the
best calling experience.
For
users seeking the best rate for any international call, Go2Call also
offers CallFinder, a unique search engine that allows consumers
to quickly compare all major Internet calling provider rates and
features for calls to any country.
CallFinder contains more than 25,000 PC-to-phone rates from the
world’s leading calling service providers.
