XCast Labs’ Patented Digital Voice & Video Network For $10 Per Month

 

LOS ANGELES (April 30, 2009) – SIPTalk (www.siptalk.com), the Internet Phone Service brand of XCast Labs, Inc. (www.xcastlabs.com), today announced reduced rates to support the ongoing global economic recovery. SIPTalk is based on XCast Labs’ version 3.0 of its Digital Voice & Video (DV&V) platform, a suite of carrier-scalable, fully-hosted business and consumer communications products and services.

 

“Internet Voice Services are typically cost-effective, more fully-featured alternatives to traditional land-lines for the consumer and business user,” said XCast CEO, Cliff Rees. “With the global economy struggling to bounce back, offering our quality, highly functional service for as low as $9.95 per month enables families and friends to stay in touch for less. In addition, our low-cost IP-PBX and SIP Trunking services allow businesses to expand their communications while reducing cost.  Our costs are so low because we developed and own all the core aspects of our technology – we don’t pay anyone license or maintenance fees and pass that savings on to our customers.”

 

As of April 1, 2009, residential SIPTalk rates are as follows:

 

·         SIPTalk Infinity ($19.95 per month)

First Month FREE!!! Unlimited minutes of residential calling to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Island

 

·         SIPTalk Global ($24.95 per month)

Unlimited minutes of residential calling to anywhere in the U.S., Canada, plus more than 60 other destinations worldwide

 

·         SIPTalk 300 ($9.95 per month)

·         SIPTalk Office ($39.95 per month)

Unlimited minutes of business calling anywhere in the U.S. and Canada, including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands

 

According to Avenue Broadband Vice President & General Manager, Mary Iafrate, “With the help and deep technical skill of XCast Labs, we were able to launch our voice service almost effortlessly. We had limited telephony experience, so the Company’s training and ongoing support have been critical to our success. Their back office systems, wide variety of applications, and their willingness to make things work the way we need them to is exceptional.

 

“Any company wanting to offer high-quality Digital Voice and Video services to their customers should seriously consider XCast Labs as their Service Provider.”

 

Managing more than two million minutes of voice and video calls per day, XCast Labs is a financially stable telecommunications company that offers its customers a wide variety of features and functionality.
