Localphone is offering free calls to China to the celebrate the Chinese New Year, which is the Year of the Water Dragon in case you were wondering. They have made calls to China completely free for four days. They offered a similar 4-day free calling promotion for the American Thanksgiving holiday. Now if only they add in Christmas, New Years (Western), U.S. President's Day, MLK Day, Easter, Columbus Day, Groundhog's Day, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, LAbor Day, Fourth of July, Administrative Professional's Day, etc. etc. then we'd have free calling just about every calendar day!
The promotion will start at 16:00 GMT Saturday 21st January and will end at 16:00 GMT Wednesday 25th January (midnight to midnight in China.) After this time Localphone’s normal cheap rates to call China will apply, which are from just 0.5p or 1¢ per minute.
Localphone customers old or new will be able to call any standard Chinese landline or mobile during the four days for free. There are no restrictions on the number of calls or the duration of the calls that each customer can make.
“China is one of our most popular calling destinations and we recognize how important it is to keep in touch with friends and family over the festive season,” said Localphone founder and CEO, Paul Cusack. “We hope our customers enjoy the four days of free calls and we wish them a very prosperous 2012.”
