Student Entrepreneurs bring a new and revolutionary telephone service to customers in Hull.

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 02, 2009 – Are you happy with the monopoly position Kingston Communications has in the Hull area? Do their services fulfil your requirements?

...If the answer is NO, Connexin may just have the solution!

Everybody in the UK has a reasonable choice of communications and service providers yet Hull has remained an exception to this, being the ONLY place in the UK not served by an additional provider. As many of you are aware, residents and most local businesses in Hull are served solely with telecoms services provided by Kingston Communications.

Why should local residents and businesses not have the choice of alternative providers if the service currently in place does not satisfy one’s requirements? The current situation and in particular the lack of choice can’t be good for Hull.

This is where Connexin (http://www.connexin.co.uk) comes in...

If you've never heard of Connexin (http://www.connexin.co.uk), get ready to change the way you think about phone calls. Connexin takes standard analogue audio signals, like the kind you hear when you talk on the phone, and turns them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet.

“Using a conventional landline these days is like using a computer which doesn’t have an operating
system; Voip is the “ windows” of the phone world. It allows phones to do so much more...”
