JARING互聯網電話接通Celcom天地通網絡

KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 – Subscribers to JARING Internet telephone will soon be able to make and receive direct calls to CELCOM subscribers, marking the first interconnection for an Internet telephony system to a cellular operator in Malaysia.

Telephony Service over Internet Protocol (TSoIP) allows subscribers to make a call directly from a computer, a special TSoIP phone, or a traditional phone connected to a special broadband phone adapter.

In addition, wireless "hot spots" in locations such as airports, parks, buildings and cafes allow subscribers to connect to the Internet and use the VoIP service wirelessly.

Subscribers to JARING MY015 services are given one phone line and phone number with a prefix of 0154.

According to Dr Mohamed bin Awang Lah, chief executive of JARING Communications, “We are proud the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) gave us the opportunity to boost up TSoIP development in Malaysia, placing Malaysia at par with other developed countries.”

“This is a turning point that makes JARING’s MY015 service virtually borderless, allowing our subscribers to make and receive calls from anywhere in the world at a fraction of fixed line and mobile rates, simply because every call is routed through the Internet,” added Dr Mohamed.

JARING’s MY105 service can be used through multiple communications devices ranging from mobile phones, soft phones on their PCs and laptops and even physical IP phones on their premises.

JARING has been allocated with 0154 81X XXXX numbering block by MCMC that enables JARING to serve as many as 100,000 subscribers and more with additional blocks of numbers.

The new facility provided by JARING is based on a non-geographic numbering system which allows subscribers to communicate with each other at a distance-independent call rate anywhere through broadband connection – even on an airline flight equipped with WIFI access.

JARING’s Access Agreement with CELCOM was registered and approved by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission in February.
