NTT Com Adds English Support for 050 plus IP Phone App

TOKYO, JAPAN - NTT Communications Corporations (NTT Com) announced today that it has started offering English-language support with its "050 plus" app for low-rate IP phoning via smartphones.

Applications can be handled online at http://506506.ntt.com/english/ipphone/plus/step. For additional details about 050 plus, please visit http://506506.ntt.com/english/ipphone/plus.

The 050 plus subscriber receives a unique 050 IP phone number that appears on the other phone’s display, so receivers can recognize the caller.
