Canadian Sears stores get netTalk Duo VoIP device

VoIP carrier netTalk's Duo VoIP device is continuing to make its mark in traditional retail stores, now being sold by Sears Canada in all 196 stores and at Sears.ca.

The device, which gives users free calls to any phone in the U.S. and Canada, provides cut-rate calling for international calls. In addition, netTalk has also aggressively been pushing the device onto shelves at retail and e-tail outlets in recent months, including Wal-mart, PC Richards, Dell.com and recently announced a resale deal with controversial mobile network player LightSquared.

The netTalk Duo is a VoIP device and digital phone service that plugs directly into a router or modem (or computer). The suggested retail price in Canada is CDN $79.95, including the entire first year of phone service and all other features, and CDN $39.95 for each additional year, with no additional fees or long-term contracts.

"We are pleased to respond to surging Canadian demand for the netTalk Duo by reaching this agreement for sales at Sears Canada, capping a period of major expansion of our bricks n' mortar presence in Canada," commented Anastasios "Takis" Kyriakides, president and CEO of netTalk. "We also appreciate the symbolic significance of this agreement with one of the world's oldest, most respected retailers, which for generations has exemplified quality and value."
