» Telecommunication Articles

The cost savings and other advantages realized by going prepaid, even for mobile phone use, has positioned prepaid long distance as the preferred calling option for international students from coast to coast. Prepaid mobile and prepaid calling cards as well as voice over the Internet will save foreign students $2 million. These economic factors as well as a lack of established credit history continue to drive the vast majority of ESL students to purchase prepaid telecom products.

While the benefits of extremely low rates and free international long distance on select prepaid mobile plans are compelling, the need to memorize long PINs has tended to impede universal acceptance. To assist users in making calls almost as if they were using their home phone long distance service, features like PIN-less dialing and Speed Dial have been added to some of the more advanced prepaid services such as Peanuts-LD and EverCall Plus. Prepaid service providers have thought of ingenious ways to reduce the number of key presses to an incredible 3 to join your party on the line. Callers now tend to use the one-touch feature on their cellular handsets to simplify international dialing.

These days the prepaid calling connection quality will surprise many as it approaches home-based telephone quality because of the improved network environment, even as the savings have increased. Making sure that voice communication over prepaid service networks remains high quality is not an easy task. Prepaid product developers are hard at work to come up with solutions to meet the international callers' demand for superior signal quality regardless of which networks are used.

Today's foreign students come to the U.S. from all corners of the world. Their telecommunications needs are more complex and diverse than ever before. Thanks to those prepaid service providers who espouse new technologies faster than the telecom giants, the ESL student population has truly benefited from cell phone and PC-based technologies, allowing them to staying in touch with friends and family clear across the globe.
