PhoneFusion is giving its customers traveling to China for the Summer Olympics one less thing to worry about. Using PhoneFusion One's cost-saving "Make-a-Call" feature, people can avoid paying their wireless carrier sky-high roaming charges that can be up to $2-3 per minute. Making calls from China to the U.S. using the PhoneFusion One service is significantly cheaper and easier than wireless services or pre-paid calling cards.

PhoneFusion One is an innovative service that provides people with an easy way to manage all of their daily communications. It fuses together phone, fax and data functionality on any device or carrier the user chooses. And when it comes to international calls, PhoneFusion One translates into significant cost savings. Using one of the major wireless carriers to place a five-minute call from Beijing to the U.S. could cost from $10-$12. With PhoneFusion One, this five-minute call would be less than 20 cents.

Calls from Beijing and Anywhere are Inexpensive and Easy
With PhoneFusion One, there is no need to get a special global phone or make international roaming arrangements with a wireless carrier in advance. Once the user arrives at his travel destination, he can stop in any mobile phone store (found almost everywhere in Beijing) and purchase a local SIM card to put into his phone (SIM cards run about $10-$15). This SIM card will provide the cell phone with a local number. The next step is to log onto PhoneFusion One and update the call forwarding to the new local, Beijing number.

For PhoneFusion One customers looking to call home from Beijing, calls can be made two ways. Using the "Make-a-Call" feature at the PhoneFusion website, the subscriber enters his new local Beijing number and the number of the party he is trying to call. Then, PhoneFusion One dials the subscriber and connects him with the other party. Or PhoneFusion One subscribers can send an email message from a mobile phone to callmenow@phonefusion.com. In the body of the email, include PhoneFusion user ID, password and the phone number where the subscriber can be reached locally. PhoneFusion will call the subscriber back. The subscriber can then dial out to any phone number in the world through the traditional PhoneFusion One service by pushing #9.
