The Indian Expat Community and PhoneIndia.com Celebrate International Namaste Day with A Facebook Contest and International Calling Minutes Giveaway
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/.
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.
