Viking’s Telephony Invasion – Rape & Pillage not on Agenda

Uniworld Communications, the specialist telecoms service provider, today announced its partnership with stationery provider, Viking Direct, to host Viking Exchange, a new telephony service aimed at the SME market

As part of Uniworld's affinity scheme, Viking Exchange will offer customers a host of voice and data services with Uniworld as the service provider. Uniworld, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gamma Telecom, allows companies to provide a range of telephony services using their own brand. It is the easiest and most economical way to offer a fully branded service with full provisioning, billing, and a dedicated customer service team.

The new Viking Exchange service offers SMEs a portfolio of services including inbound and outbound telephony, wholesale line rental and broadband access without having to dial a prefix number or install any special equipment. Uniworld handles all provisioning and servicing between the end-user site and the Gamma Telecom network, offering a simple ordering and billing process. Every customer will have their own dedicated account manager and will be able to either port their existing BT telephone numbers or extend reach with a non-geographic freephone, national, or local rate number. All services are recorded in one monthly bill, offering end-users simple control of their accounts.

Richard Carvell, Viking Direct General Manager, commented, "Working with Uniworld has enabled Viking Direct to add a new dimension to its portfolio and therefore offer the SME market competitive prices and excellent customer service. Uniworld offers a complete solution that is focused on being responsive and offering the highest level of quality. Uniworld hosts and manages the whole service allowing Viking to concentrate on offering its customer the best possible telephony service. We have the utmost confidence that Uniworld will continue to deliver its promises."

Daryl Pile, Sales Director for Uniworld, commented, "The new partnership with Viking Exchange is an exciting opportunity and an example of how a successful brand name can achieve new revenue streams by offering telephony through Uniworld's affinity model. Uniworld offers a reliable service at a competitive price with excellent customer retention. Our inbound, outbound, and data services guarantee partners the highest level of customer service and quality. This partnership further demonstrates Uniworld's leading position and dedication to providing our partners with the most innovative and revenue generating products on the market."
