Santa to Get Calls from Children via Vonage's VoIP

By Johanne Torres, TMCnet Contributing Editor

This Christmas season will surely be a special one for children living at homes subscribed to Vonage's (News - Alert) VoIP service. The service provider will let children listen to Santa Claus and leave him a message for the holidays.



 
Throughout this Christmas season children will be able to dial 1-(700) CALLSANTA 1-(700-225-5726) from a Vonage line and hear a recording from Santa. Children will be able to leave a message telling him what they want for Christmas after hearing Santa's message.
 
The messages left for Santa are then forwarded to the account holder's (parents) e-mail address. This will serve as a little hint for parents when they (or Santa) go Christmas shopping.
 
Vonage is being mighty festive this holiday season. Indeed, the VoIP provider also announced today that Circuit City Stores will now offer customers an instant $200 holiday gift card to use toward any in-store purchase when they activate its VoIP-based telephone service and sign a year-long contract. The store will also make devices from select Vonage hardware manufacturers available to customers free after a mail-in rebate.
 
Circuit City will make this offer available for customers until December 2, 2006 in stores located in the U.S. When customers purchase Vonage-enabled devices they can also activate their phone service immediately in-store. Upon activation and commitment to one year of service they will receive a $200 gift card instantly.
