O2 to offer International Calling Card distributed by Elite Mobile

O2 International Calling CardTelefonica’s acquisition of voice over IP service Jajah in 2010 has led to the launch of O2’s latest product: an International Calling Card.

The company says it’s cleaning up what it describes as a “scammy” market by offering competitive charges from just 1p per minute with no hidden catches such as connection charges, disconnection charges, maintenance fees or premium rate access numbers.

Gary Booker, O2’s Consumer General Manager, said “The International Calling Card market is notoriously grubby and we know that consumers are crying out for a quality product from a trusted brand. Our new calling card follows the successful launch of our International Favourites bolt on and is part of our strategy to grow our share of the overall international calling market.”

The O2 International Calling Card costs £5 and will be available from over 20,000 retail outlets across the UK, including O2 stores, with distribution via Elite Mobile.

Season of goodwill?  Not in the mobile phone industry.

Orange UK is putting its prices up next month. It says the 4.34% rise is less than inflation, so you might think customers would be pleased. You’d be wrong. Also unhappy are many people who’ve discovered Carrier IQ software embedded on their phones. Fortunately for the UK mobile industry, most of those people seem to be in the United States. And there was unhappiness in Egypt as Twitter’s acquisition of privacy and security company Whisper Systems saw Whisper’s mobile encryption applications taken (temporarily) offline.

My phone isn't spying on me... and yours probably isn't, either

Mark Bridge writes:

“Mobile operators track who you call. In other news, banks know how much money is in your account and utility companies know where you live.”
