Saturday, September 8, 2001

JTB has introduced the latest 2-in-1 prepaid service called "Netkad Plus Hallo" together with the effort of KPF Comserve Sdn. Bhd. (Joint-venture Company) today at the newly opened JTB Sengkurong Branch. The launching of Netkad Plus Hallo was officiated by the Guest of Honor Yang Mulia Dato Paduka Awang Awang Haji Abdullah bin Begawan Mudi Dato Paduka Awang Haji Bakar, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Communication.

In this information era, everyone should be kept informed and have access to multiple communication channels at their fingertips to meet the IT and Telecommunication visions of Brunei Darussalam. JTB, with its Joint Venture Company KPF Comserve Sdn. Bhd., has played a crucial role to provide bottom-line telecommunication infrastructure and value-added prepaid services for its customers to be up-to-date on the current trends around Brunei and the world. In September 2000, JTB launched the first prepaid Internet access service to the Brunei market. It has since accumulated a large number of users who are looking to enjoy a hassle-free and convenient way of getting onto the Internet superhighway.

This September JTB, in conjunction with KPF Comserve Sdn Bhd, is proud to announce the latest in prepaid services. Netkad Plus Hallo is a joint venture with JTB and KPF Comserve Sdn Bhd to integrate a calling card system into NetKad's world-class Internet infrastructure. It allows everyone to surf the Internet AND make calls all on one card. This 2-in-1 service is the first to be introduced in Brunei and anywhere in the world. With this new value-added service, not only can users log into the Internet, they can also make local, mobile and international calls through a normal telephone.

Netkad Plus Hallo users can now choose among the different plans that are on offered which include the $5, $10, $20 and $50 plans. The number of hours you can surf the Internet depends on the Netkad Plus Hallo card value, ie. $10 for 10 hours, while still being able to make calls in Brunei and to more than 250 destinations worldwide. More information on these call rates can be found on the website at www.netkad.com.bn.

JTB is very enthuastic about this new prepaid system and believe that NetKad Plus Hallo will play a key role in the future of bringing out more value-added services to the public.
