VoIP TalkFree Places Two New Tools in its “Phone Business in a Box”

San Francisco, CA, December 13, 2006 --(PR.com)-- International VoIP reseller TalkFree, has added two new tools to its centerpiece product, the “VoIP Phone Business in a Box.”

The first tool, the  “Inbound Telephone Numbers” program, arms TalkFree business customers and service resellers with a new service using Direct Inward Dial numbers (DID) from nearly 40 countries. When a customer’s clients or employees call the DID number “Inbound Telephone Numbers” forwards the call via the internet using VoIP technology and bypasses international long distance phone rates. This gives the customer worldwide telecommunication for a fraction of the common cost.

The benefits of the “Inbound Telephone Numbers” program include:

§ Customers are given a “host” or “local” in-country phone number.
§ A customer’s clients and business associates in that country dial the “host number” at local or in-country rates.
§ The call is then forwarded anywhere in the world using VoIP technology and bypasses international long distance rates.

The second TalkFree tool being added is “Call Shop Management.” This tool provides call shops with the flexibility to establish rates and margins separate from the wholesale VoIP rate charge. In addition the program delivers to the call shop real-time visual tracking of every call in progress and, at the same time, allows customers to view displays monitoring their actual communication time. An additional but significant feature of the program is the option to bill for calls less than 40 seconds in duration. “Call Shop Management” also offers one other ultimate convenience for the call shop and for the caller: the receipt. Each receipt is printed immediately and displays only the call shop’s independently set rate in the local currency.

“Call Shop Management” benefits mean:

§ The call shop is free to set fees and margins at rates separate from the actual rate charged by TalkFree.
§ The call shop gains real-time visual tracking of every call in progress.
§ The customer gains a display monitoring personal phone usage.
§ The option to bill customers for calls less than 40 seconds in duration is available.
§ Customer receipts are printed immediately and display only the local call shop’s rates in local currency.
