PicCell Wireless' New US Virtual Number Rates Beat Skype

The incoming rate for USVN calls to PicCell customers is cheaper than using Skype and does not require a Skype account, any third-party software or even a computer and headset. USVN calls can be made from any phone in the US, unlike Skype calls.

"Beating Skype rates is a big deal. Skype is a frequent solution for cheap internet calls, now looking at Skype rates for calls to cellular phones abroad, we found an possibility to do better for our customers," said PicCell Wireless CEO, Brandon Ferrante. "We strive to provide the most economical communication solutions for our clients during they are abroad, and the USVN is a very inexpensive means for their family and friends at home in the USA to reach them."

The promotional USVN rate plan has been launched in 11 popular destinations, beating Skype to mobile calls from the US in these countries: Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom with an average savings of 7% per minute.. For instance, a PicCell user can receive a USVN on their mobile phone in Mexico, and save near five cents per minute, compared to a Skype call to a mobile phone in Mexico.

A PicCell Wireless US Virtual Number is issued to each client thoroughly free; a USVN is included with every overseas phone package. With this feature, PicCell customers can give friends and family the ability to contact them from the USA without paying international calling rates. Calls to a USVN are forwarded to the international phone abroad and callers from the USA only pay for the domestic call based on their local phone service provider's plan.
