Paltalk Introduces New Low-Cost Long Distance Dialing with Updated Firetalk App for iOS and Android
Calling Cellphone to Cellphone or Landline Worldwide Just Became More affordable
NEW YORK, March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Paltalk, the leading online video communications company, has announced today the release of an updated version of its popular VoIP application, Firetalk. The new version enables long distance dialing using local access numbers, allowing consumers to make long distance phone calls at a fraction of the cost.
Firetalk is an easy-to-use, free VoIP (voice over internet protocol) application that enables Firetalk consumers worldwide to call each other for free. Firetalk enables low- cost calling to other landlines and cell phones worldwide at prices considerably lower than Skype, Google Voice and other VoIP calling providers.
"With the release of the updated Firetalk app, consumers are now able to make international calls without having to worry about incurring additional data charges and they can make calls in areas with low or poor data service," says Jason Katz, Founder and CEO of Paltalk. "This is a significant win for the consumer," says Katz.
In the U.S. cellular market, carriers used to offer consumers unlimited data plans and limited minutes. Recently, the carriers have changed their policies and are now offering unlimited minutes and tiered data plans. VoIP applications including Firetalk rely heavily on the use of data to connect calls and for those consumers who have limited data plans; the use of VoIP applications has become prohibitive.
Firetalk's new Local Access Number Dialing is the solution to this conundrum for consumers because the app will allow users to dial U.S. based phone numbers to connect to any international destination. The process is seamless, just simply dial an international phone number, a local call is placed over the user's GSM carrier to a U.S. phone number and the call is then routed to the international number dialed.
Firetalk Local Access Number Dialing updated application offers consumers a number of advantages including: minimizing the use of their cellular data plan and utilizing the traditional minute plans, allowing consumers to make low cost international calls even when they have low or poor data connections.
To see just how much consumers can save with the updated app that includes the Firetalk Access Number Dialing, take a look at the sample country rates below:

United Kingdom Mobile 25c 9c
