Dutch VoIP App Talk360, one of the most popular travel Apps worldwide, has partnered with Contac as the exclusive distributor in Canada for Talk360. Contac will also distribute Talk360 globally, leveraging the mywurld™ Travel Platform. “We have always seen Canada as our second home market and are thrilled that by cooperating with Contac, all Canadian consumers and business will get to know our solution the next few months,” Talk360 CEO, Hans Osnabrugge states.
Talk360 empowers the user by closing the gap between mobile providers and closed user group apps. Talk360 offers everyone an opportunity to make high quality, reliable, and cheap calls, while at the same time offering the same user experience one gets when making regular phone calls.
Contac and Talk360 bring this new technology specifically to Canada because of its incredible need for alternative solutions. Canadian businesses and individual consumers bear notoriously high telecom costs, yet still have an eagerly engaged mobile market. It’s an impressive market due to the incredibly high penetration rates of smart phones and tablets and excellent availability of mobile internet. Talk360 does not challenge the providers (Rogers, Telus and Bell) on the SIM card level, but provides the perfect add-on for every smartphone and tablet. Talk360 lowers the costs for Voice up to 90%, just like WhatsApp and Kik did with messaging/SMS. A single purpose approach, very cost efficient and the same usability as a normal mobile call. The cost for calling any Canadian landline or mobile is CAD 0.01 a minute, regardless where in the world the user calls from.
“I am absolutely thrilled for Contac to enter the telecom market with Talk360. With the mywurld travel itinerary deployed globally by our growing list of major Airlines, Travel Agencies, OTA’s and travel loyalty providers; we are poised for exponential growth in 2014. In addition to the mywurld travel vertical, I am also very excited to launch the upcoming Talk360 B2B solution to the business community in Canada where we have access to thousands of businesses via our middleware platforms via onewurld” says Riaz Pisani, CEO of Contac Services.
