Video-on-Line have announced that it will launch the first-of-its-kind telephony services at the International Trade Fair of Malta under the brand name hello. The service will enable its current TV and Internet subscribers to benefit from low cost international calls and free unlimited local intra network calls.

The launch of hello is another milestone for the company as it continues to add value to its existing customers. hello has been designed to provide customers, already enjoying TV and Internet services with Melita and Onvol, a reliable, user friendly telephone system that costs a fraction of the current system in use.

“The know-how developed in operating Onvol, the leading broadband Internet service in Malta has been key in allowing us to develop our hello service,” commented Franco de Gabriele – head of Sales and Marketing – Melita Cable. “We are utilising the Onvol platform to provide a reliable, user-friendly and cost effective telephone service at very advantageous local and international call rates. The substantial savings on current phone bills is the key success factor for this service. There are a number of voice service providers on the island but none are comparable to hello in terms of cost savings and superior quality of service,” Mr de Gabriele added.

The hello network has been tried and tested over the past 12 months utilising the expertise of Melita’s engineers together with ongoing consultation with its technology suppliers. The network is reliable and the voice quality is excellent. hello is the first real low cost telephone service provider in Malta. The hello service will impact positively on each and every household in Malta that currently enjoys either a Melita Cable TV service or Onvol Internet service (or both) through substantial savings for both local and international calls.

Easy to use and low cost are the two main benefits of the hello telephone system.
