Phnom Penh, Cambodia. CamShin Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shin Satellite Plc. (SATTEL), today launched its new international calling service, “005”. The Company said its new service uses Voice-Over-IP (VoIP) technology and reduces typical international calling rates in Cambodia by approximately 25 to 50 percent. CamShin is among the limited number of companies in Cambodia that received the VoIP License from the Ministry of Post and Telecommunication of Cambodia in August 2006. At present, the Company has over 300,000 mobile subscribers and will target its existing customer base as well as international callers of other telephone operators in the country with its new service. In addition, international calling using PC to phone will be introduced for Internet users with the most competitive rates within a few months.
Mr. Jiroj Srinamwong, General Manager of CamShin Co., Ltd. said, “We introduced the new “005” international calling service to Cambodia to provide an alternative choice to international callers in the country. The international calling rates, with typical savings of 25 to 50 percent, will improve business efficiency in Cambodia as well as provide opportunities for more cost effective communications. We are confident that international callers will be satisfied with the voice quality and will not be able to differentiate from their existing voice services. Users simply dial “005” in front of the destination number to access cheaper international calls throughout the world. We have been seeing strong growth in both the mobile and international calling services in the country and since we launched the “005” service on October 1st, we have been receiving very positive responses from our customers.”
CamShin is the second largest mobile service operators in Cambodia.
