Renowned for their unbeatable low prices, high street retailer ALDI have recently signed a new deal that will result in them going head to head with Tesco in the field of Internet Telecommunications.
Priced at £9.99, the first installation kits will be appearing in ALDI stores on Thursday 26th October, and come complete with a USB Handset, installation CD-ROM and £5 calling credit.
In a press release, emedia Telecom, contracted service provider of the Tevion Internet Phone, said that they "won the contract to deliver a VoIP solution for Aldi supermarkets, an offer that beats the TESCO INTERNET PHONE deal hands down."
Like its rivals, Tevion Internet Phone will allow free calls to other Tevion Internet Phone users, free voicemail retrieval, and a geographic telephone number.
There are four call plans to choose from, which include pay as you go, Talk Worldwide, Shout Worldwide and Yell for Business.
Yell for business has a monthly cost of £18.95, and comes complete with a dedicated incoming fax line which will send incoming fax messages to your chosen email inbox.
It is not yet known which protocol Tevion/Aldi have chosen to use, but if like Tesco they have chosen IAX, there will be the downside that a computer will need to be online in order to take incoming calls.
If any more information appears elsewhere, I will share it here with you here on digitalspy.
