U.S. Winner, From San Jose, Calif., Will Use His Gift To Call Relatives and Friends in Europe and Asia
Copenhagen, Nov. 4, 2011 – Edmund Wong, a software professional living in San Jose, Calif., plans to start spending a lot more time on the phone with relatives and friends as far away as Europe and Asia. For the next five years, he’ll be able to chat as long as he likes with people around the world, thanks to winning one of five grand prizes in the Vopium Birthday Blowout.
In honor of its fifth anniversary, Vopium (MLVOP: EN Paris) rewarded Wong and customers in Australia, Brazil, Singapore and the United Kingdom as grand-prize winners in a sweepstakes held in October. Other customers received prizes including call credits, T-shirts and iPods.
“We are delighted to share our milestone celebration with customers who have helped us grow to serve more than a million people in 46 countries,” said Vopium founder Tanveer Sharif. “Our birthday gifts demonstrate our sincere thanks and our commitment to continue providing affordable, convenient international calling.”
Wong, a Vopium customer for three years, said, “This is a very big surprise! I’m really grateful. I’ve been using Vopium to call family and friends around the world, especially in Europe and Asia.”
Joking, he added, “Now that I’ve won the prize, I’ll be calling many more family members and longtime friends – at least for the first few months, until I run out of things to say.”
Vopium was created to help people overcome the high costs and other barriers to calling around the globe from a mobile phone. Customers can count on Vopium for availability, simplicity, least-cost routing and optimal quality.
The cloud- and app-based service is downloaded free from the Vopium website and app stores. It is easy to use because there are no access numbers to dial and no special numbers to enter. Customers simply dial direct or tap a contact and then choose to optionally connect with Vopium. Customers can call via a standard GSM, free Wi-Fi or 3G connection. Vopium is available 24/7 in 46 countries with around-the-clock chat and phone customer support.
