Have you positioned your calling card business to take advantage of the explosive smartphone market?
Your customers are quickly adopting smartphones. IPsmarx has the latest technology and features that enable you to easily profit from this permanent trend.
Not having a service to sell your smartphone-carrying customers can be a big mistake. And if you don’t think your calling card customers are buying smartphones, think again…
In 2009 the US mobile phone company, MetroPCS, began selling the BlackBerry Curve as a “Pre-Paid” smartphone for only $50 a month.
Today, it’s easy to enjoy the convenience of a pre-paid smartphone —
- No credit check
- No long-term contracts
- No contract required at all (cash and carry)!
- Cancel service any time
- Pay your service by credit card, debit card, even in cash
These pre-paid smartphones are perfect for the average calling card buyer!
And business is good because last year four new carriers, Virgin Mobile, T-Mobile, Cricket (Leap Wireless), and Boost Mobile (Sprint Nextel), entered the market with their own pre-paid smartphones too. AT&T and Verizon mobile won’t be far behind…
Calling card customers are buying smartphones because they’re a better value than traditional cell phones and more convenient than a landline: It’s phone, a camera, video camera, voice recorder, it has games, GPS, email, Facebook, and a computer they can carry in their pocket to stay connected with friends and family around the world, while on vacation, at home, or at work.
Find Out How to Profit From the Newest and Biggest Calling Card Trend Today
Within two years, your calling card business could be thriving from this new calling trend or falling behind your competitors if you don’t take advantage of it today.
Is this a drastic prediction? Perhaps.
But take a look at this timeline …
- The earliest calling card used a magnetic stripe and was manufactured in Italy in 1976.
- It took 24 years for today’s virtual and PINless phone cards to come to market.
- VoIP commercially started in 1995 and
- Vonage was founded in 2001, 6 years after the InternetPhone and it took them five years to reach 1.8 million subscribers.
- However in 2003 Skype was founded and in its first 3 years reached over half a billion downloads of its software and handled over 7.6 billion minutes per quarter.
- Then in 2007 magicJack started business and in 12 short months sold over 2 million devices!
As you can see, the rate of adoption for new calling technologies gets faster and faster and adding new customers becomes easier and easier. The reason is simple: these technologies are much easier to use and have become a vital part of our lives.
If you’re not up to speed and ahead of the curve, you’re falling behind.
Are YOU keeping up? What are you doing to stay in front of industry leading trends?
Now, take a look at this related timeline…
- The first smartphone was sold 1993. It was rudimentary by today’s standards.
- In 2002 RIM released the first BlackBerry, which is the first smartphone optimized for wireless email. It took them 6 years to reach 32 million subscribers.
Even with smartphones, the rate of adoption has gotten faster and the ability to quickly add new customers easier:
- The iPhone launched many years after BlackBerry in 2007, BUT it took them only two years to sell 41,152,350 units.
- Then Google’s Android came along in 2008 and in 24 lightening-speed months it surpassed Nokia, Apple and BlackBerry for global smartphone market share!
- In 2010 smartphone sales increased 72.1 percent from the previous year, while traditional mobile phones sales increased only 31.8 percent.
