Sify Launches
‘Way2Talk’
- High Quality Pre-Paid Internet Telephony On A Managed Network -
Hyderabad, Aug, 2002: Satyam
Infoway Limited (Nasdaq National Market: SIFY), India’s premier Internet,
networks and eCommerce company, has announced the launch of Way2Talk, a
pre-paid Internet Telephony Service for consumers in India to speak to their
loved ones abroad for as low as Rs. 6 per minute.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Shrikant Joshi, Vice President, Access Media,
said, With Sify’s
‘Way2Talk’, consumers can speak longer with their friends and relatives
abroad without worrying about high costs. The quality of user experience
will be extremely good as we manage the call over our MPLS based network for
clarity of voice and reduced latency- all at a fraction of the cost of an
ISD call.
All one requires is a Multimedia PC with modem, or an Internet connection.
With Sify’s ‘Way2Talk’ Pre-paid pack, the PC is now also a telephone,
opening up international calls cost effectively, added Mr.Joshi.
SatyamOnline subscribers can register at www.way2talk.com with the
activation code and password
mentioned in the pre-paid pack, create a username and PIN, and make
international long distance calls using the PC 2 Phone dialer.
Users who are first time card buyers can subscribe to SatyamOnline with free
Internet time with every pack or dial into Sify’s countrywide backbone
network serving over 200 cities on the digital number 172306 and make their
international voice calls, or make their calls from an I-way.
Satyam Online subscribers, I-way users and Sifymall.com registered users can
choose to retain
their existing usernames. Calls are metered and charged based on the
destination and the duration of the call. The Rates per destination differ
and will be debited based on usage. One can recharge the account and top-up
the balance (like a Pre-paid Mobile card) to continue using Sify’s
‘Way2Talk’ services.
Sify ‘Way2Talk’ is targeted at home users who use Sify’s dial-up
connectivity services, cyber café users at over 700 ‘I-way’ cyber cafes and
new users coming onto the network. The product is available in denominations
of Rs.100, Rs.250 and Rs.500, and can be bought online at Sifymall.com, at
I-ways and at all authorized retail outlets.
