Help Wanted: Wireless Phone Carrier With Understanding of Massive Opportunity Around Net Calling
SIPphone is searching for a wireless phone carrier interested in offering their customers internet calling directly from their wireless handset. Carrier will be required to create a simple interconnection with SIPphone. This will permit its handset users to dial a SIP telephone number which will be connected over the net. Users in more than 70 countries would be reachable with no roaming charges. This represents huge savings for users and a big boost in customer adoption and loyalty. Internet based calling is exploding and no wireless carrier supports it - yet. There's a giant opportunity to be the first company to allow net calling. Carrier must be able to handle large surge in customers, as many of the 135 million US wireless customers switch to your service for the advantage of making internet calls as part of their basic package.
Some sample locations/numbers that would be reachable:
1-747-669-0124 - London, England1-747-669-3329 - Munich, Germany
1-747-669-8221 - Seoul, Korea
1-747-669-1881 - Perth, Australia
Besides being able to call internet phones from around the world this feature would allow free conference calling via the 222 Conference call system. This means any of their wireless customers will be able to create a conference call by simply dialing a 222 number and inviting fellow wireless customers to connect as well providing an unlimited party line.
Examples:
1-222-345-6789
Carriers are free to bill for internet calls via any rate schedule or even on a flat fee per month add-on feature. They are encouraged to adopt "in network" rates for these calls to attract the most new customers, especially the new technology influencers. In-network rates would have the added benefit of increasing customer growth by adopting the entire internet as a new calling region. Carrier's PR department should be ready to answer questions regarding what implications turning a wireless phone into a net calling phone will have on the business and also be prepared to talk about boost in sign-ups and account loyalty when rolling out this exclusive service before any other carrier.
Note: Only minimal technology investment is required to create an interconnection between wireless system and the net. Our engineers have done extensive testing and the equipment is ready to go. Interested carriers should respond immediately since all inquiries will be handled on a first come, first served basis. Send email to michael.robertson@sipphone.com.
