TELESTIAL PAYS COMMISSIONS VIA AFFILIATE PROGRAM (11/29/2005)

SAN DIEGO -- Telestial, which provides pre-paid wireless products for global travelers, unveiled an affiliate program for travel-related Web sites.

With the Globetrotter Affiliate Program, Web sites establish a unique URL link to Telestial.com, and earn commissions on Telestial services. These include 10% commissions on GSM phones and SIM cards; 5% on satellite phone sales; and 25% on satellite phone rentals.

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is a global cellular standard, and GSM phones are a must for international travelers. Pre-paid SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards snap into GSM phones and generally enable unlimited incoming calls from anywhere in the world and varying rates for outgoing calls.

The affiliate program, introduced last month, is geared toward airlines, hotels, consortiums and travel associations.

To monitor commission earnings, Telestial contracted Interneka, which provides online access to track sales, commissions and traffic.

"Each customer has different calling patterns, including how often, how long and where they anticipate their calls to be," stated Ken Grunski, Telestial’s president. "Our agents take significant time to determine with the customer which product and service is best for them."
