911 service is available) or Canadian local phone number to
facilitate unlimited outbound and inbound calling with "full feature"
functionality for only $19.99USD/$24.99CAD per month.
"Our product roster presents a unique approach to marketing VoIP
services to the consumer," said Charles Zwebner, Chief Executive
Officer of Yak Communications. "We offer consumer-based products on
both ends of the spectrum, whether a Skype or Vonage-type offering or
a crossover hybrid in between, with an easy migration process.
Everything from free member-to-member calling, purchasing prepaid
PC-to-PSTN calling, to North American based local line replacement."
"We have built a very compelling value proposition for our
customers," said David Hurwitz, President of Yak WorldCity VoIP.
"Residential consumers looking to maximize the benefits of their IP
communications will see real value in using both a yak Virtual
VideoPhone and Phone Adapter tied to a single account. Yak's
WorldCity VoIP service combines both of these critical access device
components tied to a very competitive rate."
