VIP Communications Supports Annual Ethiopian Soccer Tournament; Provides Ethiopians with Free Calling During Event and Special Prizes

ASHBURN, Va., June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- VIP Communications, Inc., a leading provider of international calling services and solutions with industry-best quality and customer service, today announced that it will be supporting this week's annual Ethiopian Sports Federation of North America (ESFNA) soccer tournament in San Jose, CA. Throughout the week-long tournament, VIP Communications will be providing the Ethiopian community the opportunity to try VIP's Global Calling service free of charge and offering anyone who tries  the service the chance to win great prizes.

VIP Communications is so confident about their service that they will be offering all attendees, with a valid email address and telephone number, five minutes of calling to any country absolutely free of charge.

In addition to free calling, VIP Communications will be giving away several prizes exclusively to attendees at the San Jose tournament. Among these are a 3D TV package, an Apple iPad device and a brand new Google Nexus phone. All attendees who register for VIP Communications' Free Five Minutes offer will automatically be eligible to win one of these prizes.

"We are very excited about our new Five Minutes Free promotion, which enables anyone to try VIP's Global Calling Account service free of charge, with no obligation and no payments required. If customers love the service, as we are sure they will, they can simply add credit to the account and carry on making calls, " said Peter Rogers, Senior Vice President at VIP Communications. "We especially wanted to launch the promotion at the ESFNA event to say thank you to our large and growing base of Ethiopian customers. We believe that our service offers the perfect mix of excellent connection quality and highly competitive calling rates and this is why the Ethiopian community has, in many cases, chosen VIP to help them stay in touch with friends, family and business contacts overseas."

This news comes on the heels of VIP Communications' recent announcement that it has reduced the calling rates for customers to Ethiopia by more than 12%, dropping the landline rate to Ethiopia to 21.9c per minute and the mobile rate to 24.9c per minute. The VIP Communications brand had already become renowned in the Ethiopian community for its exceptional call quality and its commitment to providing best-in-class customer service to its users. The company offers live customer service representatives to answer questions and accommodate any Ethiopian customer seeking help or information regarding its services.

This announcement continues to build on the momentum VIP Communications has achieved recently, and solidifies its presence as the leading international calling provider to expats living in the US. Over the past year alone, the company has increased its customer base by more than 40% and expanded its service portfolio to include business and mobile services. The company has also earned recognition in international calling circles for its 'No Hidden Fees' philosophy, which assures customers pay only the per-minute rate that's advertised, and not any additional fees or service charges. The company has also become a household name in the international calling industry, being recognized by renowned media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, The New York Times, and many others.
