Starfone.net, a long distance company that provides international rates for some of the cheapest international calls from the U.S., has announced its new and improved Stardial international speed-dialing service. The new service will make it possible for Starfone customers to call their international contacts by simply dialing a local number with a 2-digit speed dial code (NO PIN required). The new system is intended to make the international dialing process more convenient for callers. The service can be accessed through any US or Canadian-registered number, and is free. Users also get 100 free Stardials and can manage their speed-dial options online at any time from their accounts.

The Starfone online pinless long distance system has been very successful, in part because of the low international calling rates, zero hidden charges and the convenience and overall cost-effectiveness of the system. With the new and improved Stardial speed-dialing service from Starfone.net, Starfone customers stand to enjoy a new stress-free way of dialing international contacts.

How does Stardial work? With Stardial, callers simply go online to their Starfone accounts where they can configure and manage speed dial codes for their favorite international phone numbers. Callers can assign up to 100 free Stardials and they can call these numbers from any registered phone number in the US or Canada.

Configuring a Stardial is as easy as assigning a 2-digit code e.g. 04 to an international number. This is done online within a users account. Once assigned, a user can call that international number by simply dialing a local number (1-234-567-89) and suffixing the 2-digit code. For example the user can dial 1- (last 2 digits being the speed dial code) directly without a PIN to call that international number.

Users can also save their Stardials to their home or mobile phones for one-touch dialing. For example, a user could save 1- to their regular home, office or mobile phone as a speed-dial, and simply press the required key whenever they wish to make a call.

Using the Stardial service, users can dial a local number in order to call an international number. They can then call international cheap with low Starfone international calling rates instead of the heavy international call charges experienced when calling an international number directly from their regular phone.

In addition to being significantly cheaper, the system is also hassle-free. There is no PIN to dial, and no long international number to remember – simply dial a preconfigured number (which you can save on your phone as a speed dial) from your regular phone for one-touch access to your friends, family and associates abroad.

One of the key benefits of using a speed-dialing system is that it saves time; take a call center business that has to reach a specified number of international customers in different countries a certain number of times each day to market a product or service, for example.

If the callers had to manually dial each international number and then dial a PIN to connect the call, just imagine how slow and inefficient the business will be, and workers would end up tired and frustrated after short periods of time.

But with a speed-dialing service, they could easily assign a short code to each of these high priority numbers and simply dial the code as many times as necessary to make the required number of calls – everything would be stress-free for the workers and more productive for the business.

Another key benefit of a speed-dialing service is increased productivity, since more work can be completed in less time, and with fewer resources. Businesses possibly stand to profit the most from this truly effective service offering from Starfone.net.

For the ordinary caller, the chief benefit is the convenience of the system. A frequent international caller who has to dial a long international number and a PIN with every call will easily end up frustrated with the service in the long run, but a speed-dialing solution eliminates the hassle and introduces convenience and a higher degree of flexibility to the process.

It is clear that the new and improved Stardial service from Starfone presents a simplified calling solution that takes away the stress from frequent international dialing and introduces comfort and flexibility, while making the international calling process more suitable for business operations. The new Stardial one-touch international speed-dialing service promises to be a big success with Starfone customers worldwide, who will no doubt enjoy the convenient and time-saving features of the system.

Call your international favorites in over 300 countries worldwide with a one-touch Stardial, and experience the convenience and flexibility of this innovative long distance calling solution from Starfone.net. Also get the best international phone rates when you call Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Morrocco, Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Iraq with Starfone.net.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 24, 2011

The Snow Leopard Trust, a Seattle based wildlife conservation organization has reached the finals of the BBC World Challenge. The Snow Leopard Trust and two other finalists received the most votes from worldwide supporters of the 12 organizations selected to compete. By reaching the finals, the Trust will receive a minimum prize of $ 10,000 for conservation of the endangered snow leopard. The final results will be announced during an event televised by BBC World News on December 3rd.

ABOUT THE SNOW LEOPARD TRUST:

Snow leopards are one of the most endangered big cats in the world. They are found across 12 Asian and Eurasian countries from Afghanistan to Bhutan, and experts believe as few as 4,000 exist in the wild. The Snow Leopard Trust utilizes a community-based conservation approach to partner with families sharing snow leopard habitat in order to alleviate conflict between human and wildlife throughout Central Asia.

Snow Leopard Enterprises, the program selected to compete in the World Challenge, provides training to local women in Central Asia on how to create handicrafts from raw wool, which the Snow Leopard Trust then sells on their behalf. The money raised is returned to the communities, who sign conservation contracts where they pledge to protect the snow leopards living in their area.

“The Snow Leopard Enterprise Program works with over 400 families in three countries to protect the endangered snow leopard and improve each person’s quality of life. In 2010, every pledge to protect snow leopards was upheld, meaning snow leopards were kept safe, and each community received a generous conservation bonus in appreciation for their efforts.” Brad Rutherford, Executive Director of the Snow Leopard Trust

The products created through the Snow Leopard Enterprises program are sold in zoo gift shops and retail outlets around the world as well as through the Snow Leopard Trusts online store http://www.snowleopard.org/shop/

ABOUT THE COMPETITION:

The BBC World Challenge is an annual competition run by BBC World News and Newsweek Magazine in association with Shell. It highlights and rewards small businesses that use innovation and entrepreneurship to bring economic, social and environmental benefits to communities around the world. More than 600 proposals were submitted in 2011. A panel of judges selected 12 projects to compete. The top three finalists were chosen by the public based solely on the number of votes. The first place winner will receive $ 20,000, a feature in Newsweek Magazine, and a special on BBC World News.

In the rapidly evolving world of VoIP telecommunications, Buzport, a highly ambitious international calling service has stepped into the ring to provide a wide array of end to end mobile user services for the global population. With the growing need to communicate on a dizzying variety of mobile devices, landlines and instant messengers Buzport has developed the technology to allow to people to talk to each other regardless of how and where the call originates.

“We’re acting as your global VoIP mobile operator,” noted founder and CEO Igor Avdonin. “You can place a call from anywhere in the world to any other destination and the end cost will only depend on the price of local gateways between the Internet and your local telephone network, not on the distance of the call. Our goal is to get people used to the fact that calling overseas is as easy and probably as cheap as making a local call on the go.”

“With a single account Buzport customers can meet all of their international calling needs from a PC, mobile phone or landline, both at home and on the move.”

Once signed up customers have three options for initiating a call. They may choose to start a call with SMS texting on a mobile phone. Users may also use SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to make calls from PC’s or SIP-enabled hardware phones to mobile phones, landlines or any internet-based phones.

In addition to connecting mobile phones, landlines and softphones, Buzport can also be used to connect to and from internet messengers like Skype, MSN, GTalk, ICQ and Yahoo! Phone numbers and IDs used in messengers are treated in the same manner as regular phone numbers. As a result users can make calls between any combination of different terminal devices.

When SIP or internet messenging is used, the originating segment of the call is free and the customer will only pay for connecting to the destination phone. And if both sides are PC/internet based (SIP or messenger) the call is completely free. With Buzport customers only pay for airtime, no other fees are incurred.

Buzport has stated that it will be coming out with new features shortly including a pin-less calling card to facilitate calls from landlines, providing another way to initiate a call with a familiar calling card functionality for those customers who have grown accustomed to making cheap international calls in this way.

About Buzport

Buzport has provided VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) telecommunications services since 2010. Buzport utilizes cutting edge proprietary technology, a powerful server-side platform, mobile and web-based applications, developed by some of the best engineers in the modern telecom world. We are very ambitious and excited about the use and future development of our VoIP telephoning technology. Visit our website at http://buzport.com/

The app is free and easy to install and use alongside your smartphones existing software. You just open the application when you want to make a call, either key in the number or use your existing contacts list and start talking. The cost of the call per minute is displayed when the call is initiated, offering complete cost transparency.

The company provides their customers with a range of additional services, including an online account which gives them complete control over their payments. Ecocaller account holders find the live customer support a real bonus.

Other features included with the app are a quickdial page for most frequently called contacts, a detailed call history, a call recording function and number re-writing rules. However, the app is designed primarily to give its customers what they want – an easy and reliable way to make cheap international calls.
