Travelocity Enters Cell Phone Business

Telestial, a low-cost mobile phone solution for the international traveler, entered an agreement with Travelocity to offer overseas-bound Travelocity customers the lowest rates and options for avoiding excessive fees typically associated with international cell phone calls.

In conjunction with a purchase of international airfare, airfare, accommodation or car rental on Travelocity, Telestial will be offering Travelocity customers a savings of 70 percent off already low Telestial package rates.

Telestial charges far less than cell phone rental companies and also less than what U.S. carriers charge for international roaming, giving customers access to the local call rates at destinations that Telestial covers around the world.

In an integrated campaign of advertising, e-marketing and promotion, Travelocity customers will be offered exclusive savings on Telestial products and services including the purchase of unlocked GSM world phones and a variety of pre-paid SIM cards (no contracts necessary) with free incoming calls around the world.
