World Phone Internet Services Private Limited has introduced international calls to over 30 countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Singapore and Switzerland, at just 95 paise per minute, the cheapest ever international call rates in India, on any legal Internet telephony network.

"Our aim is to make superior quality international voice calling extremely affordable for every Indian customer. At the same time, we want to assist the Indian government in curbing the rapid proliferation of illegal internet telephony service providers in India and help users understand the relevance of the issue," Aditya Ahluwalia, chairman, World Phone Internet Services Private Limited, said.

Currently, World Phone negotiates over 10 million international call minutes through its Internet telephony network every month, placing it amongst the frontrunners in the Internet telephony industry.

World Phone is also looking at expanding its dealer network and make its pre-paid internet telephony cards easily available to every interested customer across the country.

Unlike other players in the market, World Phone cards are currently available to people in a number of smaller cities through its extensive dealer network.

"It is for the first time in India that the call prices have dropped below Re 1", added Ahluwalia.

World Phone's pre-paid Internet telephony cards are available in the denominations of Rs 250, Rs 500, Rs 1,000 with validity up to 100 days and can be purchased either by logging on to World Phone's website, www.worldphone.in or through World Phone's nation wide network of resellers like Big Bazaar, Oxigen, EPRS, Payworld and channel partners.

Users can place an international call, from anywhere in India, using his personal computer by downloading the dialer from World Phone's website, www.worldphone.in.

Alternatively, customers can install a branded Internet Protocol phone which can also be provided by World Phone.
