Cell phones have certain glamour and appeal but the landline, not so much.\u00a0 But with the introduction of HomePhonePlus, the Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) new, \u2018love your landline\u2019 low price packages, home phones have taken on a new lease of life.<\/p>\n
Marlon Johnson Sr. VP Marketing and Communication said that the HomePhonePlus addition to the BTC landline service is proving transformative for customers who stay in touch with family and friends living abroad or in the Family Islands and that sales figures have to date far exceed projections.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are surpassing our sales targets as people realize that this is the best value in town for nation-wide domestic, and long distance calls to the USA, UK and Canada.\u00a0 We offer value and a clearer connection while staying in touch with family and friends throughout the family islands and abroad.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not talking long distance using an internet connection,\u201d said the VP. \u201cIn fact the key newsworthy element is that this is the first long distance product offered by a major telecoms player that goes directly over the legacy exchange infrastructure and does not need internet connectivity, so customers get a very pure, top carrier-grade connection.\u00a0 And apart from the speedy connection and voice clarity the service stays \u2018on\u2019 even when the lights go off.\u201d<\/p>\n
The senior vice president said that the BTC landline service with a full suite of 18 CLASS features has always been one of their best products and now they\u2019ve added to that, a value for money, long distance calling feature to BTC fixed lines for select countries and throughout The Bahamas, which makes for an exciting new product offering.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took this already excellent service and spiced it up to meet all calling needs, both local and international and produced 3 different packages to suit differing needs and priced it accordingly to include the line rental,\u201d said the VP.<\/p>\n
The three packages are currently available to BTC existing landline customers and to new subscribers.\u00a0 Calls to Cable Bahamas numbers are charged at the standard rate and not included in package rates.<\/p>\n
The HomePhoneTalk 300 package for $21.99 monthly allows 300 minutes to call anyone, anytime in the USA, UK and Canada, and other BTC telephone numbers throughout The Bahamas; the\u00a0 Unlimited Nights and Weekends package for $28.99 monthly is for 1,500 minutes to use between 7 pm and 7 am\u00a0 every night to the same destinations and\u00a0 the HomePhone Unlimited Anytime package\u00a0 for $34.99 monthly is for 1,500 minutes to call anyone, 24\/7, again to the same destinations.
