Madasafish Launch Discount Voice Call Tariffs
iomart-powered ISP, Madasafish (www.madasafish.com) have launched cut-price phone call tariffs that offer up to 30 per cent savings on BT rates.
For a one-off set up fee of £10, Madasafish Telephone Service customers can make savings of almost a third on local, national and international calls and savings of five per cent on mobile calls.
The Madasafish Telephone Service is UK-wide and available to all BT customers without the need to change telephone number. The service will be supported by Madasafish's customer service based in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis.
Madasafish, best known for its funky blend of music, movies and online games, makes its venture into voice in partnership with Rocom Ltd, supplier of the UK’s widest range of telecoms solutions, and Madasafish parent company, iomart Group plc, the AIM-listed integrated telecommunications and internet services company.
After signing up for the Madasafish Telephone Service via the Madasafish home page (www.madasafish.com) customers are sent a single line routing unit to plug into their phone and start taking advantage of the discount call rates. The routing unit automatically switches calls through the Madasafish Telephone Service.
Customers will receive two telephone bills; one from iomart for the discounted voice calls, and the other from BT for line rental and services such as operator calls and premium rate number calls.
Keith Fowler, iomart Voice Services Product Manager said: “The Madasafish Telephone Service offers a simple, unconfused tariff structure at very competitive rates. With no monthly fee for the service and no minimum call charge, the Madasafish Telephone Service adds up to a very attractive package. Given the first class infrastructure on which the Madasafish Telephone Service is based, we are confident we can offer levels of service resilience unparalleled in the competitive UK telecomms market.”
James Waggott, Rocom Business Development Manager added: “We are delighted to be involved in this exciting venture with Madasafish. The addition of voice services to the Madasafish portal further strengthens their already impressive portfolio of internet features. For us, this partnership is an excellent opportunity to develop new business and work with one of the most innovative ISPs around.”
