VISA(R) cardholders VoIP with Vonage for less!
1 February 2006 In its continuing effort to bring the benefits of Internet phone service to more Canadians, Vonage Canada today announced an online promotion with visaperks.ca(TM), the online shopping portal that provides exclusive offers for VISA cardholders
"We are delighted to be working with one of the premier payment brands in the world to bring our full-featured, flat-rate Internet phone service to VISA cardholders," said Bruce Robertson, Director Marketing Programs, Vonage Canada. "With Vonage leading the way, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is becoming a popular option for Canadians looking to save money on their monthly phone bill. By offering close to $130 in savings, we're confident that VISA cardholders will find the Vonage service attractive, especially those who are looking for an alternative to traditional phone service."
Launched January 1, 2006, this online promotion lets VISA cardholders benefit from additional savings on top of Vonage's already low cost flat rate plans. To take advantage of this offer, VISA cardholders must visit www.visaperks.ca and select Vonage from the 'merchant' scroll down menu. When cardholders register for Vonage and choose to pay for their phone service using their VISA card, they will receive one month of free local and long distance phone service from Vonage (valued from $19.99 to 69.99), free shipping (valued at $19.99), and free activation (valued at $39.99). With this promotion VISA cardholders will save as much as $129.97. This promotion will run until May 31, 2006.
"We are pleased to offer our VISA cardholders yet another exclusive benefit through visaperks.ca," said Brenda Woods, Vice President Consumer Products, Visa Canada. "The discounts on Vonage Internet Phone Service will be attractive to our cardholders, particularly those cardholders who collect rewards points on their VISA card and want full-fledged phone service for less."
How Internet Phone Service Works:
To get started making phone calls over the Internet, all that's needed is a high speed Internet connection and a Vonage adapter. For the more technology savvy customer Vonage also offers an IP phone. Within a short period of time of connecting the Vonage adapter or the IP phone, customers can start making and receiving calls. With voice quality and reliability that is comparable to traditional phone service, the only real difference will be in the great savings every month. Customers can choose from various flat rate, feature-rich residential and small business plans to fit any lifestyle or budget, including these popular packages(xx):
