UK ISP Telecomplete Buys MyWebCalls

According to a press release today, Telecomplete Ltd, a UK Internet service provider, has acquired VoIP service provider MyWebCalls.

MyWebCalls has clients in 30 countries. They offer PC-to-phone calling, using either a web-based dialler or desktop software dialler. The web-based dialler would allow the user to make a call from any location (such as an Internet cafe or a friend's computer). MyWebCalls also offers device-to-phone calling, which allows the customer to call directly through an ATA without going through a PC, by configuring the device to connect to the MyWebCalls network.

Also available are Web Callback and SMS Callback services. These services can join together two phone numbers for phone-to-phone calling or text messaging independently of the user's PC. Describing how the Web Callback service works, the MyWebCalls web site says, "Simply go the callback page, login and enter the 2 phone numbers you want to join together to talk. Once the calls are in progress, there is no need to stay by your pc, allowing you to conduct your call anywhere!"

Telecomplete Ltd is based in Manchester, UK. They provide Internet connectivity, carrier services, hosting, security services, co-location and data-center services. Company officials say the MyWebCalls acquisition will "strengthen Telecomplete’s existing VoIP product portfolio and will offer an alternative to Skype and Vonage."
