Tpad is aiming to break into the volume VoIP business by offering users
a free SIP telephone number, in fact everyone in the house can have
their own number at no charge.
By providing a unique incoming SIP number to every customer Tpad could
break through the acceptance barrier to call-in type VoIP services.
The Tpad service requires the user to dial into a local number in their
country (in Australia Melbourne is the only number available) they then
dial the SIP number they wish to reach, the call is routed over Tpad's
own network to the nearest possible exit point where it is either taken
ona softphone of forwarded onto a traditional landline or mobile.
The calling party pays for their half of the call at local (national)
rates and the receiving party pays to forward on the call on to their
phone ast the appropriate rate.
Steven Johns, Marketing Manager for Tpad, said: "We believe that it is
unfair to charge people just for a number to receive calls - that's why
we give all our customers a free number. We understand that each member
of a household may want their own unique number so we offer as many
numbers as the customer wants."
"One of the favourite features our customers like is the inclusion of
'per-second billing' so they are only charged for the duration of their
call. With many competitors rounding charges up to the nearest minute
it's no wonder our service is so popular."
Tpad's aim to offer the fairest and most cost effective VoIP service
possible is also helped by the free voicemail to email service and no
connection charges on calls.
Tpad operates in over 35 countries.
