Nationwide coverage, highest call quality, and intelligent routing capabilities from M800 Limited and China Mobile

HONG KONG, May 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China's huge and growing middle class offers a vast market to Canadian businesses, many of which are already directly serving these newly affluent consumers through China 4001 International Toll-Free Services. Unique in China, this service gives international companies a single toll-free number for cost-effective and efficient communications across all 31 provinces.

China 4001 International Toll-Free Services is co-developed and jointly operated by M800 Limited, one of the Hong Kong's largest IDD voice exchange providers; and China Mobile, the world's largest mobile network operator. To the partnership, M800 brings interconnectivity with most of the world's major telecommunications carriers and a technically advanced international toll-free platform. This complements China Mobile's exceptional network coverage across China and its high service standards.

"While domestic markets in North America and Europe look for an upswing, China continues to grow. By 2020, it could have more than 222 million middle-class households,* almost 20 times the total number of households in Canada today," said Mr. Daniel Leung, Director of M800 Limited. "China 4001 International Toll-Free Services gives international companies direct access to these eager consumers in a way that has not been possible before."
