HONG KONG, May 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- New World Telecommunications Limited ("NWT"), a pioneering next generation IP and telecom service provider in Hong Kong, today celebrated the worldwide launch of "talk2hk", a new- generation VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service. With an authentic Hong Kong fixed line number, "talk2hk" enables customers to enjoy unlimited calls with their friends, families and business associates in Hong Kong at a flat, low monthly charge of US$12. Apart from unlimited calls to and from Hong Kong, customers can also interact with business partners and friends all over the world at very competitive IDD rates. For instance, calls to China and other countries only cost as little as US$0.02.

"talk2hk" is specially designed to save at least 80% of the roaming and IDD cost for:

-- People who reside outside of Hong Kong and frequently make contacts with Hong Kong associates. -- Travelers who want to stay connected with people around the world.
