Fusion (AMEX: FSN), a global VoIP service provider, today announced that its Efonica Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) products and services will soon be available in Jordan with the creation of Fusion Jordan.
As the company continues to strengthen its worldwide market reach, Fusion has signed an agreement to secure the exclusive use of a licence to offer a full suite of Efonica VoIP services throughout Jordan.
With a population of over five million and nearly 400 per cent growth of Internet users over the past five years, Jordan represents a key market experiencing dramatic growth among Internet communities in the Middle East.
Through this new endeavour, Fusion will build on its longstanding local distribution partnerships in the region and drive sales of its premium paid Efonica VoIP services by offering subscribers an opportunity to communicate with their friends and family throughout the world. To further enhance Efonica's regional and global market reach, Fusion will offer customised premium Efonica VoIP service plans for Jordanian residents and communities around the world.
"We are very pleased to begin operations in Jordan in the near future," said Roger Karam, President of Fusion’s VoIP division and CEO of Efonica. "We believe our Efonica suite of advanced VoIP products and services will deliver exceptional value and performance to the people of Jordan and Jordanian communities around the world."
Fusion has been successful in growing its international subscriber community due to Efonica's innovations, ease of use and cost-effective products and services. The worldwide Internet area code™, developed by Fusion, is providing a simple and universal method for Efonica customers to retain existing calling patterns and place calls by simply adding "10" to the beginning of existing landline or mobile telephone numbers.
“With Fusion Jordan, we plan to increase sales of Efonica through our established and growing network of distribution partners," Karam added. "We will continue to form strategic alliances with Jordanian retailers and align with key Internet properties, in order to increase the points of sale for Jordanians, as well as to connect the Jordanian communities around the world in a way that is simple and cost-effective.”
Efonica offers users the ability to call each other using their existing landline or mobile telephone numbers. Calls can be made to and from any combination of PCs, Internet phones and regular telephones (with a SIP adapter), connected to either a wireless, broadband or dial-up Internet connection.
The service was introduced incorporating Fusion's patent-pending worldwide Internet area code, which combined with a subscriber's existing telephone number, further simplifies the process of making a call.
