Asian seafarers get connected
Smart Link has revealed a telecommunications service for Filipino seafarers using VOIP to make calls wherever they may be overseas, reports Philstar.com.
Filipino seafarers can make calls to any Philippine or international number using a VOIP service called Smart Link NetFone; which is used in areas beyond the reach of landlines and cellular signals.
They can use their existing Smart Link numbers to access both satellite and VOIP services; they do not need to switch SIMs or purchase new electronic load increments.
