AllCom Eliminated the Atlantic Ocean
Consumer
communications pioneer announces local service bridging the greatest
barrier between UK and North America.
AllCom
announced today that they are launching a new class of local communications
service connecting their subscribers across the Atlantic Ocean
"We’re
talking about far more than just low-cost calling,” said Thomas
Skala, CEO of AllCom. "Our new service lets people have a single,
direct presence in any combination of the US, the United Kingdom
and soon Canada."
For
several years, AllCom has enabled low-cost International calling
with its network of Public Access Numbers or its unique Call Back
system. Customers with a "Genie" account on the AllCom
system could be reached by calling local numbers overseas, and then
entering a code number to reach the subscriber.
"But
that’s all changing," explained an enthusiastic Skala.
"Now, our subscribers can have their own, individual
local numbers in any of these three countries, all of which
connect to exactly the same central system.
"For
many years, companies have had letterheads saying things like, 'San
Francisco, London and Toronto.' Now even the smallest company
can have local numbers there, without needing to have a local office.
For as little as $5 per month, someone based in Chicago could also
have a number in Manchester that connects British callers to Chicago
– as a LOCAL call!"
The
service also allows subscribers in any of the three countries to
make calls anywhere in the other two for as little as 2 cents per
minute. Calls to mobile phones in the UK vary based on the cellular
provider.
"Anyone
who is a transplant to this country – or one of the others
– will love that, Skala went on. Get a number back in Aberdeen,
Scotland to go with the number you already have in Aberdeen, Washington.
Instantly, you and your entire family can reach each other for virtually
nothing!
"Whether
for business, family or just the fun of it, you can now ignore the
Atlantic Ocean. AllCom eliminated it."
