Making international phone calls from a cell phone has typically been rather expensive with major carriers such as AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
The company has been benefiting as consumers trade down amid the global recession. Its customer count has grown by record amounts the past three quarters, helping drive the company’s U.S. expansion. The company’s calling plans range from $30 per month to $50 per month.
“It’s probably the lowest cost for international calls in the wireless industry right now,” says Jeff Kagan, an independent wireless analyst in the Atlanta area. “Now the question is, Will this cause other players to reduce their rates?”
