Roadpost Inc., a provider of global voice and data communications solutions for the business traveller, announces that it is the first service provider in North America to offer Carry Forward and Pooled plans for international cellular and Iridium satellite service subscribers. Rather than foregoing unused minutes at the end of each month, subscribers to Roadpost’s services can now carry those minutes forward for a period of six months. Iridium satellite subscribers can carry forward minutes for a period of 12 months. Roadpost’s new pooled services feature also allows organizations to share minutes on a single subscription plan across multiple users.



“Roadpost is the first in the industry to offer these value added programs for international services,” said Morris Shawn, President and CEO of Roadpost. “With the carry forward and pooled features, we can deliver exceptional value and flexibility to help organizations better manage their international telecommunications budget.



“International travellers want flexibility with their telecommunications services,” he added. “Many only travel certain times of the year and often cannot enjoy the full value of the minutes purchased. Having the ability to carry forward and pool minutes on a subscription plan can certainly translate into overall savings -- up to 32 per cent -- and better management of resources.”



Pooled and Carry Forward plans for international cellular services include oneRoam World, International 50 and International 100. Unused minutes carry forward for six months. Iridium Satellite Pooled and Carry Forward Plans include Iridium 30, Iridium 120 and Iridium 240. Unused minutes carry forward for 12 months.



The carry forward and pooled features are part of an overall package of new offerings introduced by Roadpost for international travellers. The company has also introduced a rush delivery service for rental and subscription customers in North America. For a premium, Roadpoast will guarantee delivery by 10:30 a.m. EST or Saturday, if applicable, for requests received after 3 p.m. the previous day as well as pay for the return. For rental services, it has also expanded its loss and theft coverage to include damage protection. These offerings are available for both international cellular and Iridium services.



Roadpost has also introduced a number of additional enhancements to its Iridium Satellite service, including a $200 reduction in the cost of the handset (subscribers only), new subscription and rental service packages for added flexibility and choice and discounts on airtime rates.
