Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) July 05, 2017 -- PhoneIndia.com, the platform that has been serving the Indian diaspora and India fans since 2008, launches a new contest to celebrate International Namaste Day starting on July 5th. The contest is running until July 10, 2017 and gives away/offers 800 minutes to call India from any part of the world. Anyone can join by leaving a comment on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PhoneIndia/.

Very good and quick service. Reasonable cost to call. (JYOTI VORA on TRustpilot.com)

International Namaste Day is powered by PhoneIndia.com and the Indian expat community on Facebook and was first celebrated in 2016. This day is a reason to go back to the spiritual meaning of "Namaste!" as a word and gesture and its effect on the respect and appreciation between humans. It also represents a way for Indians overseas to connect among themselves and with people back home in India, and praise their native culture.

This year's Facebook event starts on July 5th and ends on July 10, and that means plenty of time for Indians abroad and India fans to join the conversation in the India Facebook community and leave a comment to the official post.

The challenge is to say "Namaste!" to a friend back home in a comment and tag that friend using @Name. All comments automatically enter the race for $10 Voice Credit for international calls. The winner will be randomly selected on July 11 and announced on the timeline of the Facebook Indian community: https://www.facebook.com/PhoneIndia/.

$10 Voice Credit balance with PhoneIndia.com never expires and includes 806 international minutes to call India, or a different number of minutes for different destinations in the world. Calls can be placed in 2 ways using PhoneIndia.com credit:
-Calls from a smartphone, using KeepCalling app for Android and iOS devices
-Calls that don't require an Internet connection, and only use an access number in the area of residence, just like a smart alternative to calling cards; yet at much lower rates.

PhoneIndia.com, the initiator of International Namaste Day 2016, is a service dedicated to Indian expats. It facilitates international calls to India at the lowest rate on the market: lower than 1 cent per minute, 0.8¢/min more specifically, with the monthly plan India 600. The alternative is Voice Credit balance that never expires and helps one make calls to India at 1.2¢/min. The low rates to India are possible thanks to the VoIP technology PhoneIndia.com uses.

For any online purchase on PhoneIndia.com, one gets a certain amount of Thank You points according to the value of the credit bought. These points can be converted into free credit for future calls.

Besides calls to India and other international destinations, PhoneIndia.com makes available the online service called Mobile Recharge. This is a tool on the website that facilitates mobile credit transfers to mobile phones in India, from abroad. At present 12 types of mobiles in India can receive phone credit from abroad: Vodafone, Airtel, !dea, BSNL, Docomo, Aircel, MTNL, MTS, Reliance, TATA Indicom, Uninor, Videocon.

What someone needs to do to send mobile credit to his/her family in India is fill in the online form on the website. The amount gets to the beneficiary in India in seconds and can be used according to the terms of the local operator in India.

Both the calling service and the mobile top up service on PhoneIndia.com are available in the same account, plus one benefits of 24/7 support in English and other popular languages.

There are regular promotions for both services and someone who subscribes to "Get offers" (the button in the footer of the website) will receive email notifications. Also, one can learn about the offers on the timeline of the Facebook Indian Community page: https://www.facebook.com/PhoneIndia/

PhoneIndia.com is a service dedicated to the Indians in the USA, Canada, Australia, Asia, and Europe, as well as travelers and India fans. The service is a brand of KeepCalling, a global telecommunications company registered in 2002 in the USA. Presently, KeepCalling provides its services to hundreds of thousands of consumers, with a focus on customer satisfaction and transparency of service. KeepCalling was listed by Inc 5000 as one of the fastest growing companies in the USA for 5 consecutive years.
