MyGlobalTalk(TM) technology makes a digital-quality cellular VoIP application available to BlackBerry and Windows mobile users for as little as two cents per minute. MyGlobalTalk(TM) recently launched worldwide last week.
MyGlobalTalk(TM) allows users to take advantage of the benefits of Internet telephony to make international and long distance cellular calls independent of wireless carrier, smartphone handset make, or voice/data plan for as low as two cents per minute anywhere in the world. Non-smartphone users can enjoy the same benefits by using the MyGlobalTalk "Bridge" also available online at www.myglobaltalk.com.
MyGlobalTalk(TM) enables digital-quality international and long-distance calls to be made at a fraction of the cost charged by wireless carriers and, because it does not require local access to the Internet, it is functional virtually anywhere. Sign up and membership to the service is free via www.myglobaltalk.com, and customers only pay for the calls they make with no contracts, connection fees, monthly or minimum charges.
"We are very pleased to receive this recognition for MyGlobalTalk(TM) at the INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Conference," commented Paul Arena, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of i2Telecom International, Inc. "Interest in MyGlobalTalk(TM) has exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to continuing to announce a number of new distribution and strategic relationships that will generate revenues to the Company in the near future. MyGlobalTalk(TM) users now have the ability to make calls anywhere in the world over the i2Telecom network using their cellular phones."
"i2Telecom and its innovative product MyGlobalTalk(TM) are a standout indication of why so many enterprise buyers, developers, resellers and service providers attend the INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Conference & EXPO," said TMC President and Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani. "i2Telecom's innovation and commitment to quality attracted many serious prospects to its presentations, as attendees knew they would find solutions with i2Telecom that empower their businesses with innovative technology solutions. Also, it is one of the "coolest" applications I've seen in a long time."
