Travelling to World Cup in South Africa? HulloMail offers you an alternative way of keeping in touch while away, for FREE!
With
UK-based watchdog, Consumer Focus, issuing a warning to football fans
travelling to the 2010 World Cup regarding potentially huge bills for mobile
phone usage, HulloMail™ (www.hullomail.com) is encouraging individuals to
download its free smart voicemail app in advance, in order to access voicemails
and send voice messages home, at no cost.
Users
of HulloMail can give friends and family their personal HulloMail UK number
allowing them to leave voice messages without calling them directly. Travelling
fans can then listen to messages using the HulloMail mobile app whilst roaming
in a free WiFi location and can quickly and easily reply using a ‘Hullo’, which
is a short, instant voice message.
The
Consumer Focus watchdog found that rates for making calls from South Africa
were as high as £1.70 per minute, whilst the worst culprit was for receiving calls,
charging £1.50 per minute.
Andy Munarriz, our founder and CEO,said: “It would
be a real own goal to return from the World Cup to find a hefty mobile phone
bill waiting for you. It makes sense for fans to access our free HulloMail
smart voicemail app. They can give contacts their unique HulloMail number so voice
messages can be left for them, saving expensive roaming costs. Messages can
then be retrieved simply via the app, online, or by email; it’s up to the fan
which they prefer. Fans can also
send a Hullo, short voice message, to their mates watching back home for free, using a
free WiFi hotspot.”
Until recently free WiFi has not been the norm in South Africa,
however, many shopping centres and leisure complexes in the host cities are
providing free WiFi for the duration of the tournament: http://bit.ly/freewifiza.
