VSNL offers web-based calling service

NEW YORK: Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) will start offering from August 21 a new facility that will allow people of South Asian origin in the U.S. to make calls to their country, using its pre-paid service without obtaining the calling cards.

This new service will compete with several other providers, including Reliance Communications.

Launching the new service — Trueroots International Calling Service — at a function here on Thursday, its top officials said that their service would have the trademark of Tatas, a ‘brand name known for unflinching quality.’

Speaking on the occasion, Head of Corporate Affairs for VSNL, Sandeep Mathur, said the new service would provide superior voice quality and easy access and connectivity without any hidden fee or extra charges. The calls will be carried on VSNL’s extensive global fibre optic network. The new service can be purchased online through a web portal or by calling VSNL customer service directly.

The service offers advanced features. Other features include instant recognition of calling line ID for PIN-less dialling from up to five registered phone numbers. — PTI
