Raketu, a leading global Internet communications, information, entertainment, and social networking company, today announced that the company will extend its free voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) calling and sms-texting promotion. Consumers can take advantage of Raketu's free international calling and sms-texting promotion when they make a pre-payment. Users who pre-pay receive up to 1200 minutes (20 hours) international calling per month for 3 months to mobile and landline phones in locations in over 40 countries around the world -- this pre-payment is not a monthly fee, it is placed in the user's account to be used for pay-for services.
