Intermedia.NET Unveils StanaCard.com; Next-Generation Phone Calling Card Offers Speed-Dial Capability

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The first prepaid Calling Card with true SpeedDial capability - StanaCard.com - was today announced by Web and Application Hosting and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) leader Intermedia.NET. With StanaCard.com SmartDial feature users can make international calls by dialing only one local or toll-free number, which is easily stored in their landline or cellular telephone. As a result, access numbers, PIN codes and long international numbers can be reduced to an easy- to-remember local or toll-free number.

StanaCard.com users can make calls from the U.S. and Canada to over 180 countries around the world. StanaCard.com does not charge any monthly or annual fees and users pay only for the number of minutes used, based on low, per-minute rates. Consistent with Intermedia.NET's other offerings, StanaCard.com gives users full visibility into their billing and account management functions via StanaCard Online Manager. This same feature enables users to manage their "Smart Dial" numbers, anytime via a standard Web browser.

"For example," says Michael Choupak, CEO of Intermedia.NET, Inc., the parent company, "a typical SmartDial user in New York City would assign a local New York City number to the most frequently called contact overseas via the StanaCard web site. Calling the assigned number from the user's phone would ring the foreign number thus creating an illusion that the user's foreign contact has a direct New York City number. Such local or toll-free numbers that can be assigned are available to any StanaCard subscriber not only in New York City but in nearly all major metropolitan areas in the U.S. and Canada."

With today's announcement, StanaCard also shared the details of its referral program. For every new user recommended to StanaCard, the customer making the referral receives a $5.00 calling card credit. Every new customer that joins StanaCard through the referral program will also receive a $5.00 credit towards international and long-distance calls.
