My Social Income, Inc. (Pink sheets: MSOA) (www.mysocialincome.com)
announced today that it is rolling out its new Travel Call Service in a
special offer to Members of the US Military. The offer, which is in the
form of an advertisement on the back cover of a special offers coupon
book being distributed by Military Charities in the greater San Diego
area. The scheduled distribution is 80,000 units, and it will be
targeted primarily to military families. The effort is being made to
solve a serious issue that exists with our servicemen and women service
overseas in that the cost for them to call home is prohibitive, and the
availability of phones for them to use is extremely limited. This
problem is so severe that in 2006, Congress passed the Call home act of
2006 which instructed the FCC to find ways to reduce the costs of these
calls. Up until this date, no progress has been made and the cost to
call home has made communications between military families and their
loved ones overseas extremely difficult.
MSI has been developing its TravelCall product for over a year... with the
intent of freeing civilian and commercial travelers from the high cost
of making calls while overseas, and as the technology came into focus,
it became clear that there was a great opportunity in extending the
service to the military. Using Travel Call, our customers can use an
iPod/iPad/or iPhone overseas to make calls home, by connecting to
available Wi-Fi Connections, completing their calls over MSI's VoIP
Network. What makes TravelCall unique is that the users can ALSO receive
calls or voicemails made from the US, by callers needing no special
equipment of services, and the calls can even be made from the Public
Telephone Network. While the cost to make a credit card call from
overseas using the ATT Military Calling cards that most US Servicemen
and women now use will typically cost upwards of $1.95 per minute plus
call connection and disconnection charges, a call home using TravelCall
will cost less than 2.5 cents per minute, and the cost of monthly
service, including voicemail, voicemail via email, and the ability to
call a TravelCall customer for a US number, is just $5.00 per month.
"We wanted to make it possible for Military Families to connect... and we
wanted to make it as simple and affordable as possible, and Travel Call
was the perfect solution" said John Roberts, C.E.O. of My Social Income.
The initial outreach to 80,000 military families is only the beginning
for the Military TravelCall effort, Roberts has said that MSI has a
commitment to bring this opportunity to all of the 1.3 million active US
military personnel. "We have the technology to deliver TravelCall on an
enormous scale. We know the demand is there, and we feel it is our duty
to help our troops."
The underlying technology behind TravelCall is totally stable,
enterprise-class VoIP switching, and automated routing, combined with an
innovative web-based interface that allows users to activate the service
when they need it while traveling, and turn it off when they are home.
The retail version of TravelCall will be launched in concert with travel
agents, travel sites and tour operators later this year, and will
include the ability to have interval-based us access and international
access numbers. MSI is currently working to build relationships with
strategic sponsors, and to introduce the enterprise version of the
service.
