Customers can still take advantage of the company’s free international calling and SMS by making a pre-payment.
Users who pre-pay receive up to 1200 minutes (20 hours) international calling per month for 3 months to mobile and landline phones in locations in more than 40 countries around the world. This pre-payment is not a monthly fee; it is placed in the user's account to be used for pay-for services.
Moreover, pre-pay users will also receive three free SMS messages per month for three months to send to anywhere in the world. Raketu claims to have the lowest calling and SMS rates to any location globally.
"Raketu offers the best calling and SMS rates to any location around the world, and with our free international minutes and SMS-texting, it is far less expensive than our competitors like Skype (News - Alert) offer," said Greg Parker, president and CEO of Raketu, in a statement. "Why pay for international calling when Raketu has it for free. And with the recent addition of our mobile services, there are now more ways than ever for consumers and businesses to take advantage of our free and discounted calling and text rates."
Raketu Communications (News - Alert) develops peer-to-peer IP applications that provide communications, information, media and social networking services for consumers and for business. The company currently has users in more than 150 countries around the world.
