GOtalk Broadband Voice, the first company to offer a national local-access phone number service in Australia, is expanding its reach across the Tasman.

Doing a deal with hardware provider, D-Link, the GoTalk offering will be sold via the Harvey Norman franchise.

Sister company, Cardcall, has made a big push into the NZ phone card market over the past month and is already claiming to be leader in that space.

The new alliance with D-Link will help the company secure a position as the market leading combined VoIP and Broadband provider in Australia and New Zealand, according to GOtalk CEO Steve Picton.

"GOtalk is strategically focussed on increasing the range and quality of its services by partnering with established technology leaders in order to deliver to consumers competitive and attractive choices when they decide to upgrade their voice and Internet services,” he said.

According to Picton, D-Link's strong retail connection will help GOtalk's distribution extend beyond Harvey Norman to include Dick Smith and other retail chains. "However our relationship with Harvey Norman will continue to be extremely important," he said.

"For example our new geographic expansion and D-Link partnership will mean that GOtalk Broadband Voice will be able to offer Internet phone services to the customers of every Harvey Norman Computerstore in every state and region in Australia.”
