AMCHAM Worldwide Phone Service: top quality communications at your fingertips
Communication is vital to any organization; through it, one can get the right information to be able to make important business decisions. But while email and instant messaging are now commonplace communications tools, these methods are dependent on the availability of devices such as computers and internet connection. Thus, many business people are still more apt to resort to using the good old telephone in order to immediately communicate with others.
Understanding the needs of the mobile businessman, AMCHAM Foundation Philippines, the socio-civic arm of the American Chamber of Commerce Philippines, has collaborated with Miracle Communications to offer the AMCHAM Worldwide Phone Service. Designed specially for AMCHAM members, this service answers the traveling executive’s need for safe, reliable, convenient and cost-efficient communications tools from anywhere in the world.
While there are a variety of telecommunications options for business people traveling overseas, these methods are often costly in the long run. Phone cards bought from the streets or in retail outlets are not only loaded with hidden charges and fees, but also provide poor connection quality. These ‘dirty’ phone cards provide users with only 30 to 40 percent of total usage than what they are paying for. Mobile phones and hotel IDD, on the other hand, are prohibitively expensive as they cover handling costs and overseas communications taxes. New technology such as VoIP has made making international calls using a computer or similar device possible; however, people will find it hard to access their computers when they are mobile. The quality of the voice call is also heavily dependent on the quality of the internet connection, making VoIP an unseemly communication solution for businessmen on the go.
AMCHAM and Miracle Communications’ offering, on the other hand, provides high quality international phone service that is not only user friendly but also cost effective. Thanks to Miracle’s topnotch communications technology, Tier 1 network, and worldwide direct connectivity with such international telecom companies as MCI, British Telecom, China Telecom, and more, the service ensures a safe and convenient way to make calls that have clear and reliable connections.
AMCHAM members who sign up for the AMCHAM Worldwide Phone Service receive a welcome package that includes their unique personal identification number (PIN); it also contains a wallet guide detailing country toll-free numbers and other relevant information. There is no need for a personal computer or VoIP service; to make their calls, users need only to input the toll-free access number of the country they are in from any touch-tone phone, then enter their PIN which serves as the authorization code at the prompt. The service will then give the user a cue to dial their destination number and will proceed to connect the call. This service can be used to originate calls from over 65 countries, and communicate with people in any destination around the world.
With the AMCHAM Worldwide Phone Service, companies can be sure that they get what they pay for: all calls are billed on a per minute basis with no other surcharges or fees. Clients will receive a monthly invoice detailing all transactions. Companies can also have an unlimited number of sub-accounts; each employee sent overseas can have their own PIN for easier phone account tracking.
Users of the service can also rely on the excellent customer support provided by Miracle; they can reach a customer support representative 24/7 from any place from which they are using the service.
Availing of the AMCHAM Worldwide Phone Service is easy as well. One can simply fill up the sign-up form and have this picked up by a service representative from Miracle Communications or directly contact the AMCHAM office. The company’s welcome package will be delivered within five days and employees may already use the service one their next overseas business trip. There is no minimum requirement for contract or usage length, or number of users.
The AMCHAM Worldwide Phone Service not only provides members with a competitively priced, high quality communications solution while traveling overseas; it also gives them an opportunity to contribute to a greater cause. Part of their service usage fees is donated to the AMCHAM Foundation to fund its various corporate social responsibility programs which are geared towards extending assistance to the less fortunate.
With the AMCHAM Worldwide Phone Service, users can now travel around Asia and the rest of the world and still be able to connect with their home offices and others, with a communications tool that provides top quality service, superb customer support, and big cost savings.
