gotalk Revs Up The Competition With Its Best VoIP Plans Yet
Announcement posted by Gotalk 19 Oct 2009
“We believe this innovative change to our strong VoIP plans will attract even more customers to gotalk, who seek the best calling rates in the VoIP market. We believe our combination of market leading monthly included calling allowances and low calling rates, together with no longer having their service suspended if calling inclusions are exceeded, are virtually unbeatable,” CEO Steve Picton said today.
Based on customer feedback, gotalk has changed its family of Aussie Pack and World Pack plans, so that if customers exceed their monthly calling allowances, calls can now continue to be made at some of the lowest rates across the industry.
When comparing gotalk’s low VoIP rates to Engin, gotalk charges only 9.9c per call for local / national calls of up to 2 hours made in excess of included calling allowances on all its family of Aussie Packs, whereas Engin charge more than 50% more (15c per call) in their much trumpeted and newly released “Max” plan for calls above their included calling allowance.
gotalk charges only 19.9c per minute for calls to Aussie mobiles when the included calling allowance is exceeded, while the Engin “Max” plan charges 27c per minute or 35% higher rates for calls in excess of their included calling allowance.
In addition to much lower calling rates than the Engin “Max” plan for calls made in excess of included calling allowances, gotalk also offers much more generous calling allowances.
The gotalk “goVoIP Aussie and World Pack” offers the following calling inclusions for just $24.90 per month when combined with a gotalk broadband plan or $29.90 if standalone.
Local / national calls : 600 calls (talk for up to 2 hours on each call!)
Calls to Aussie Mobiles : 100 calls to Aussie mobiles (or up to 500 minutes to Aussie mobiles, whichever is the lesser.
International Calls : 100 calls (or up to 3,000 minutes, whichever is the lesser) to the 36 countries listed at the end of this Press Release.
In addition to the great value identified above, the “goVoIP Aussie and World Pack” allows customers to call an additional 30 countries for up to 2 hours for just 20c per call, an additional 50 countries can be called for up to 2 hours for just 50c per call, while yet another 18 countries can be called for up to 2 hours for just 75c per call as part of the International Calls cap.
In contrast the Engin “Max” plan offers only 600 minutes of calls to “local, national, mobile and over 100 international destinations”, then additional call charges apply.
Overall, gotalk offers far better value for money to customers making lots of national and international calls, and is committed to continuing to provide outstanding value for money to its customers.
