Ideal solution for ISPs, telecoms, cable companies, and
consumer product providers
Hackensack, NJ- December 15, 1998 - IDT's (NASDAQ: IDTC)
Net2Phone today announced plans to unveil its new reseller program
specifically designed for IP telephony resellers in the United States.
- The new program, called Net2Phone USA, integrates a world-class
pre-paid
calling platform into IDT/Net2Phone's domestic and worldwide IP/telecom
network. Net2Phone USA generates aggressive returns to resellers
while
offering strikingly competitive rates to end users. All US long
distance
calls sent over the Internet are 5 cents per minute, and many
countries are
priced at 10 cents per minute (for On-Net callers).
-
Net2Phone USA enables LD resellers, MLMs, calling card distributors,
and
others to offer pre-paid calling cards routed over the Internet
through
retail, wholesale, and customizable programs. This program is ideal
for
communications companies such as Internet service providers,
telecommunications companies, cable companies, consumer product
companies, and online shopping companies who can leverage their
existing customer base by offering Internet-based calling cards,
which can generate additional revenue stream to cost-conscious customers.
The minimum reseller initial commitment is $25,000. "We believe
US consumers are ready for IP Telephony. This is a perfect opportunity
for communications companies to provide IP based services to their
end users to create additional revenues stream," said Jonathan
Rand, Vice President, Sales, Net2Phone.
- Net2Phone USA users can benefit immediately by the low rates
and ease of use of the platform. IP Telephony calling card services
are available in
minute or dollar denominations and can terminate calls to over
230 countries worldwide. Resellers in New York, Atlanta and Chicago
can already take advantage of the benefits of this new program,
where users can call to anywhere in the world at significantly
reduced rates. The Company plans to bring 30 cities live over
the next six months. 800- number access is available nationwide
for Off-Net customers.
