Thousands sign up for our Low-Cost Mobile Call Service in just over 2 months
Monday, May 12th, 2008Literally thousands of people have signed up for our Mobile Call-Through Service since we launched it just over 2 months ago. The incredible success of this service, which allows you to make very low-cost international calls from your Spanish mobile phone, is hardly surprising when you consider that just about everyone in Spain owns a mobile and that not everyone can wait to get back home to make a low-cost call from their landline.
In a nutshell, the way this service works is that you use your mobile operator’s preferential calling rate (such as ‘favourite numbers’ or ‘friends and family’ packages) to contact Direct Telecom’s system from your mobile phone, and this allows you to access our Low Cost Overseas Calls service at the same prices we offer to our landline clients. In other words, you can enjoy the convenience of Direct Telecom’s rock-bottom international call rates (PDF) while on the move, from wherever you are in Spain, with just a tiny overhead (typically a couple of cents a minute) that you pay your mobile operator for the call to us.
“The success of this service is due to the high demand for consumers to drastically reduce the costs of communicating from their mobile phone, combined with the easy-to-use, high quality service we offer,†says Mike Broeckaert, Direct Telecom’s Commercial Director. Mike adds, “We are constantly working to find new communications solutions, which drastically save our clients money without jeopardizing quality.â€
Save still more with BT Mobile from Direct Telecom
As another example of Direct Telecom’s commitment to bringing our clients the best prices, we have recently teamed up with British Telecom to distribute the new BT Mobile service in Spain. Spanish mobile phone users finally have a real, cost-effective alternative to the exorbitant mobile call rates they have had to pay over the years.
Everyone knows that the big mobile phone operators in Spain spend ludicrous amounts of money on colossal advertising campaigns – for example Vodafone spends millions of Euros a year on Formula 1 sponsorships alone. It goes without saying whose pocket all that money ultimately comes from, and it is no surprise that mobile phone calls have always been so expensive until now.
On the other hand, BT España has chosen the prudent route, preferring to pass on the savings to its clients – just one of the many reasons why it makes so much sense to switch to BT in Spain.
