MONTREAL- Cogeco Cable’s local phone customers will soon be receiving prepaid calling cards to be used for overseas calls.

The cable company has signed an agreement with Gold Line Telemanagement, Canada’s largest prepaid calling card service provider in Canada, to enable Cogeco’s voice over IP customers in Ontario to make calls abroad through Gold Line’s International Prepaid Calling service

The prepaid service enables customers to call abroad from Ontario through their Cogeco Digital Phone Service and while travelling 65 countries to any world land or mobile destination. Cogeco’s local phone customers will soon receive at home a prepaid calling card as well as instructions on how they can subscribe to this new service.

"Our partnership with Gold Line enables us to offer a very easy and competitive option to make international calls, with no hidden fees" said Ron Perrotta, vice-president, marketing at Cogeco Cable.

For the introductory period, all Cogeco Digital Phone customers who activate the International Prepaid Calling service (by placing a minimum amount of $5 or more in their account) will be entitled to 60 free minutes of talk time to most Western European countries. Calling time delivered to other world destinations will vary by destination called.
