Parlino offers free global telephone calls

Luxembourg, May 2, 2006. Parlino is a new free VOIP service, offering free calls from a computer to other Parlino users world-wide. To start using Parlino, the user simply opens an account and downloads the free software from www.parlino.com. The service is almost instantly available for both incoming and outgoing calls.

 

Using Parlino Dial-out, the user can also call regular landline or mobile phones at extremely low rates - up to 20 percent cheaper than comparable services. With Parlino, there are no bills and no hidden charges or fees. All potential call charges are paid in advance on the website - as simple as using a pre-paid phone card.

 

"As ever more people get broadband access, we have seen an increased demand to use the Internet for calls as well, in order to save costs. A new addition to Tele2's product portfolio, Parlino makes calling from the computer easier than ever," said Marcus Nylén, Managing Director at Parlino.

 

Parlino also offers the opportunity of Parlino Dial-in, a pre-paid service at €2.95 per month. With Parlino Dial-in, the user receives a regular phone number which can be telephoned at a national rate, no matter if the Parlino user is at home or is travelling abroad. The Parlino phone number can be forwarded to any other phone number or connected to a voicemail service.

 

As a launch offering, the 10,000 first customers will receive a wireless VOIP phone (worth approximately €100) at no additional cost, when registering a Parlino account and depositing €30.
