It would be really interesting to know who in the company took that decision, and who owns the company. Their website doesn’t look very professional.

Doesn’t exactly look like a big player.

Never heard of FreedomCall until this moment. Since they are cutting off their nose to spite their face, we shall probably never hear of them again. Good riddance.

I think they should change their name to “Call, Freedom Limited”

I think it might be more to do with it’s prepay calling card business. Sort of rings half a bell from a visit to a newsagent in rushholme’s curry mile – cheapest phone rates to Pakistan, that sort of thing… Perhaps.

Just a suggestion, Gene. Remove the particular combination of the first two words. It befuddled me for a sec.

OK.

I hope that they are also calling back all of their phones and closing down all of their computers – all devices riddled with Israeli technology!

They are just a callback/VOIP type service. Anybody can set this kind of business up in their basement with minimal investement and modest technical knowledge.

I wondered what their policy towards some other countries was, so I took a look. They seems to offer calling services to and from, for example, North Korea and Zimbabwe – though they also list Israel.

If they really do stop supporting calling to/from Israel, it might be amusing to buy some of their calling acrds, and then do a chargeback on the credit card when hey fail to provide the promised Israeli calling service.

I second that – rather change it to telco or something – it’s rather a little too close to the Telcom in British Telcom.

Anyone familiar with the UK telecom company FreedomCall?

No.

I predict FreedomCall will become a giant provider of communications services in the Middle east. Bet they nab that Teheran contract as well.

From their website:

‘FreedomCall.ME is a UK based telecommunications service provider with clients in the UK, the Middle East and Pakistan.

FreedomCall.ME uses Verizon Business as its primary global carrier and Ashpool Telecom plc voice processing systems for its prepaid telephony, audio and VoIP services.”

It sounds like an Anglo-middle eastern company.

The fact that they also use Global Verizon (a US company) as their carrier may be a problem for them.

By law American companies are debarred form participating in any anti-Israel boycott.

I can easily imagine some lawsuits being prepared as we post here in New York.

Btw: Did this company abolish service to Syria when that country invaded Lebanon? More to the point, do they provide service to the Sudan?

a good start! let’s see many more do the same please!

HB is back,

“la mano de d10s”

he should rather call himself la mano del diablo.

I think la mentalidad de una cucarachai would be more suitable.

In other news, Sheriff Court hearing arranged for the Jerusalem Quartet disruption.

“la mentalidad de una cucarachai.” Colin, thank you for driving the Pearl & Dean cinema signature tune from playing incessantly in my head due to David T’s great news of the shut-down of Dean & Dean on the previous thread. I now have that classic song “La Cucaracha” going through my head inststead. I think it is time to do a New Year fandango to its strains on You Tube.

Just imagine what we could do for the cause of freedom if we said

NONE OF OUR TELECOMS EXPERTS CAN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH CHINA, IRAN, NORTH KOREA, RUSSIA, SAUDI ARABIA, CUBA, SYRIA, SUDAN, ZIMBABWE AND VENEZUALA.

As they say in the song…

“And the world would be a better place for you and me… “

If none of our telecom experts were allowed to have anything to do with China, cellphones would still be the size of a shoebox and cost thousands of dollars a pop. And all those server farms that make the web work – they’d be so expensive that google would be a noun known only to math geeks and crossword fanatics (and never, ever used as a verb).

Just sent an e-mail to Michelle.Gilbert@VerizonWireless.com; kyle@kylecommunications.com asking them to comply with US law and reminding them that in October a US company has been fined for participating in an anti-Israeli boycott. Then sent a copy of my e-mail to Verizon to FreedomCall.

Regards,

Inna

Without comment on the current situation, does nobody see irony in the Kingdom Of The Free Market banning companies from choosing which countries they do business with?

law suits? I guess an entirely appropriate response to any company which does not feel ethically comfortable with the current situation.

What Joe Camel said at 8:25. Total losers.

A great deal of cellphone technology was developed in Israel.

The usual nonsense from JohnG, who dosen’t understand the concept of a commercial contract.

LOL, Colin. My Spanish is abysmal, but I can understand that phrase and concur with the sentiment.

Interestingly, googling “freedomcall” mostly brings up entries about a German heavy metal band of that name

The Ramsey’s are obviously afraid of competition form the Israeli daliah industry.

Israel bombed a children school run by the UN on the 4th of Jan. The UN officials condemned the attack. 30 school kids were killed. There was no justification. Read full details in the Economist. Israel must be boycotted.

My firm uses VOIP to speak to our satellite office abroad. This is interesting – will fit in with our investors’ and seemingly our clients’ (even our Jewish clients) ethical policies against supporting Israel. One of our top clients was at university in Haifa during 1967 and was very much pro-Israeli during the 6 day war but since the illegal settlement building in the West Bank he is totally disenchanted with the Israelis. No harm in trying this company out. I checked and their rates are very competitive. It is also a useful marketing angle when we are trying to convert referrals – recently everyone seems to want to talk about the number of Palestinian children Israel has starved, blown up or shot. Cheers.
