Roadpost Inc., a leader of global voice and data communications solutions for
the international traveller, announces the launch of The Great Call of China -
the most comprehensive and flexible range of international voice and email
solutions for occasional and frequent travelers to China. Roadpost’s newest

and four subscription bundles for its highly popular oneRoam China™
international cellular service. In addition, Roadpost’s International
BlackBerry rental program allows travellers to enjoy seamless access to
unlimited roaming data services through their regular email address while
traveling.
Morris Shawn, president and CEO of Roadpost, says, “China represents a rapidly
growing and important market for international business travellers today. In
the past year alone, we have seen a 111% growth in demand for international
cellular and BlackBerry services, and continue to develop new solutions to meet
this growing need. With The Great Call of China, customers can choose from a
variety of bundles that can be tailored to their specific needs, whether data
or voice, or frequent or occasional use. It’s all about convenience and choice
for the international traveller.”
With the oneRoam China plan, frequent travellers to China can enjoy up to 50%
savings in their international cellular costs versus competitive services.
oneRoam China delivers a number of additional benefits, including: flexible
bundles for rental and subscription customers; single flat rates for incoming
and outgoing local and international calls; a local China telephone number; and
carry forward and pooled minutes options for subscription packages (a Roadpost
exclusive). oneRoam China rental and subscription services are available in
basic, 30 (for rental; 50 for subscription), 100 and 250 minute bundles.

pool and/or carry-forward minutes (for up to 12 months), which allows customers
to maximize their overall investment, while satisfying the demands of both
light and “power” users.
