My Social Income, Inc. Launches TravelCall in an Outreach to Military Families and Their Loved Ones

My Social Income, Inc. 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 in the extreme 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 in the extreme difficult.

Year with the intent of freeing civilian

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 during overseas, and as the research came into focus, it became clear that there was a great possibility in extending the service to the military. Using Travel Call, our clients 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 (Voice over Internet Protocol) Network. What makes TravelCall unequalled is that the users can As well 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. During 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 possibility to all of the 1.3 million active US military personnel. "We have the research 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 innovation 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 during traveling, and turn it off when they are home. The retail version of TravelCall will be launched by common consent 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.
