Can you imagine being given the privilege of calling anyone from anywhere in the world for free? Now that is something all of us would need especially during these times. And thanks to Witel, you can do so. All you have to do is get one of these Witel Phones called the Jetter, look for a place that has good Wi-Fi connectivity and you are on your way.

The whole concept seems to be somehow familiar to Skype but the thing is, you don’t need a computer to aid you in making calls. The Jetter is all you will need, a handset that will allow you to make and receive calls on any Wi-Fi network. Using the Jetter is simple – just turn it on and enter your Witel phone number and password, and it will automatically begin sniffing for Wi-Fi networks. Once you’re on a network the phone is ready to be used.

Witel offers two calling plans priced at $9.99/mo and $19.99/mo respectively with no additional charges, no activation fees, no increases after several months, and no long-term contracts.

Witel plans are available to anyone in the world and are packed with incredible features such as:

• Free Global Witel to Witel calls – Any two Witel subscribers from anywhere in the world may place free calls.
• Free Global Incoming Calls – Say goodbye to roaming charges as incoming calls to a Witel phone are always free no matter where the subscriber may be on the planet.
