NEW YORK, (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) — As the sluggish economy causes consumers to constantly reign in spending, Poke Talk, the first completely free and clear VOIP long distance calling service, is offering a special promotion for the holiday season. From November 24th to December 31st, Poke Talk will offer customers double the amount of free calls it currently offers — now 100 free calls per month, which is over 16 hours of free calls, from landline or mobile phones without any special equipment, monthly subscriptions or additional fees. A consumer simply logs on to Poke Talk’s ad-supported site, www.poketalk.com, inputs their phone number and the number they wish to call and Poke Talk immediately connects all parties.

The holiday season is when many people reach out to loved ones, friends, and relatives long distance or even overseas. PokeTalk makes it easy for them to connect, giving them the same convenience and low cost of Internet calling but with much better clearness, less irritate and no special equipment or additional fees. With PokeTalk, budget-minded consumers won’t have to resort to cheap phone cards or compromise call quality to save money on phone calls.”

By connecting calls to the user’s landline or mobile phone, PokeTalk negates one of the biggest obstruction and consumer complaints facing other popular Internet phone services — being tethered to a PC or having to use special accessories such as headsets to place a call. And because PokeTalk connects calls over existing phone lines, receiver does not need any special hardware or software to receive calls.

PokeTalk subsidizes its phone service by displaying targeted advertising on the screen, rather than charging additional connection fees or playing disturbing ads over the phone during the call — another feature of other popular free Internet phone services. PokeTalk’s advertisements are modified to the caller’s profile and serve as effective engagement points for advertisers.
