SUNNYVALE, CA - August 11, 2006 - MINO Wireless (http://www.minowireless.com), a Silicon Valley-based International Call service company, today announced the lowest rates available in the market for direct dial calls to India from mobile phones. MINO service makes international calls easy and affordable by bringing Internet call technology to mobile phones.
With MINO, users can call from the US to India from their mobile phones at 9.9 cents per minute. MINO’s rates beat all the plans available currently in the market, including Reliance India Call. Services such as Reliance, as well as calling cards, limit the user to calling only certain countries or regions to get their rates. MINO rates are low worldwide so MINO eliminates the need to use a different service for each country. With MINO, customers can also use MINO when they travel internationally.
“Services such as Reliance Telecom have helped overseas Indians by bringing down the cost of calling India from home or office land phones. Now MINO is extending this cost saving onto user's mobile phones with even lower rates to India, making calling to India easy and convenient,” says Jing Liu, founder and CEO of MINO Wireless.
MINO users can see complete call logs on MINO web site. Individuals and companies can bring order and accountability to their phone spending by getting call logs.
Calling cards are also popular in the US based Indian community. Although calling cards promise low rates, users often end up paying connection fees, weekly maintenance fees and a number of other hidden fees. A user who buys a card with 100 minutes on it may get only 50 or 60 minutes of talk time.
According to Varinder Sahi, a MINO subscriber in Indiana who calls India, “Calling India using MINO is very convenient because you can direct dial from your mobile phone, without having to remember any PIN numbers or paying any hidden costs. MINO is now offering the best rates in the market too”. He earlier used AT&T and did not use his mobile phone to call India.
Since its public launch in early 2006, MINO has signed up 80,000 users from over 50 countries
