TBi (TeleBermuda International) is offering unlimited local calls to mobile and fixed numbers via a phone that works through the internet as part of an internet and phone bundle.

Today’s announcement marks the latest salvo in the battle for market share since deregulation of the telecommunications industry lifted restrictions and allowed companies to bundle various services.

“Unlimited local calling is an exciting new offering from TBi that helps people stay connected without the inconvenience of watching minutes,” said Gregory Swan, TBi’s president and chief operating officer.

“Customers who sign up for the service will receive a local number and a free VOIP (Voice over internet Protocol) phone, available for a limited time. Customers simply plug the phone into their modem and can start to make and receive unlimited local calls.

“More people than ever are looking for alternative ways to stay connected while minimising their overall cost for telephony services. We have carefully studied the market and listened to our customers. The mindset that keeps ringing in our ears is ‘quality services competitively priced’. Our new service is in response to that premise,” stated Mr Swan.

As an initial rollout, TBi is introducing unlimited local calling as part of a new residential bundled package designed to provide a more affordable voice and data services solution.

TBi’s new bundle combines 10 megabit internet, unlimited local calling, unlimited calling to the USA and Canada and Wi-Fi ZONE hot spot access for $89.95 per month and the first month free.”
