GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- New Global Telecom, owner and parent of General Telecom, the leading U.S. provider of outsourced switching and network operations services, has announced the launch of VoIP service between the U.S. and Mexico. New Global Telecom provides a managed service that enables service providers, such as Ekonom in Mexico, to deliver VoIP telephony to their customers. Through this first service agreement, Ekonom is offering its EKOFON Digital Telephony service to businesses and consumers in Mexico City.

EKOFON Digital Telephony service provides customers with remote telephone numbers, long-distance service and a web-enabled interface. Customers in Mexico City, for example, can acquire a Los Angeles telephone number, permitting calls made from Los Angeles to be treated as local. Ekonom is targeting this service at small businesses and residential consumers, as well as making the service available to its existing base of business customers. Service is being provided by means of New Global Telecom's Broadsoft applications server platform and other TDM network elements, together with Ekonom's sales and support operation.

"New Global Telecom provides carrier-grade, high-availability VoIP services customized to meet our needs," said Victor Trevino, President of Ekonom. "Their reputation for innovative solutions made them a natural choice. We will now be aggressively targeting small businesses and consumers with our service, particularly those that have a strong community-of-interest in the U.S."

Rich Grange, President and CEO of New Global Telecom and General Telecom stated, "This agreement with Ekonom is another exciting step in our strategy to pioneer wholesale VoIP telephony service.
