Moshe Kahalon visits Talk'n'Save

MINISTER OF COMMUNICATIONS KAHALON VISITS TALK'N'SAVE TO

ANNOUNCE SUPPORT FOR SMALL COMPANIES LOOKING TO ENTER

ISRAEL'S CELLULAR SERVICE MARKET

Israel's Minister of Communications Moshe Kahalon visited the Jerusalem headquarters of Talk'n'Save, a fast developing cell phone service provider, to explore potential areas of cooperation between the company and the Communications Ministry. The meeting focused on Israel's mobile market and in particular, the ability of smaller niche market operators such as Talk'n'Save to boost competition and encourage operators to come up with more attractive offers for customers.

Minister Kahalon saluted the initiative of Talk'n'Save for the steps the company has taken to develop a full-service facility. The Minister did acknowledge that smaller niche market companies like Talk'n'Save do face specific challenges in this new environment and announced that he will be working to refine the laws to help the interests of those companies.

Talk'n'Save, founded in 1999, serves as a mobile phone provider largely catering to the student and tourist markets and foreigners spending extended periods of times living in Israel. The company has placed special emphasis on developing its infrastructural capacity to provide top level service for the English and French-speaking customer base.

The Talk'n'Save CEO said that he welcomed the Minister's support and confidence. "We are excited that the Minister realizes and understands the value of openness in the Israeli cellular marketplace," he said, "particularly for niche markets that we serve - the Anglo and French speaking population of Israel."

Talk'n'Save is an international company focused on providing tourist and travelers with mobile communication services. Founded as a private corporation in 1999, the company is headquartered in New York with offices  in Israel and the UK. Since its founding, Talk'n'Save has provided over 100,000 cell phones to students and tourists.

Talk'n'Save and AFI on the Jerusalem Post

For more detail on the AFI football league kickoff, please see today's Jerusalem Post!

Talk'n'Save sponsors the AFI football league!

(from the AFI official press release)

Talk'n'Save suits up as AFI league sponsor

Talk'n'Save, a longtime supporter of American Football in Israel, is now the sponsor for all AFI league activities.

"Talk'n'Save has been involved with the AFI leagues for years, and we're really excited to be able to sponsor them now," said Yonah Berzon, CEO of Talk 'n' Save, the leader in cell phone service and rentals for students in Israel since 1999. "We care about the students' entire Israel experience, not just their cell phones, and we know hundreds of our customers are going to be out there playing ball with AFI. So it's really a personal initiative for us to be supporting 'our boys.' And this way," he added with a grin, "we don't have to pick favorites by just sponsoring one team."

"This is a great development for AFI," said Talk'n'Save AFI President Steve Leibowitz. "We have forged an alliance with a great company that recognizes the central role football and Kraft Family Stadium occupies in the Anglo sports scene in Jerusalem and in Israel."

ABOUT AFI
American Football in Israel (www.israelfootball.net) is a non-profit association, which in spring 2004 was granted official recognition as the sport's governing body in Israel by the Ministry of Education's Sports Authority. AFI is a member of the International Federation of American Football (www.ifaf.info/) and the European Federation of American Football (www.efaf.de/). AFI President Steve Leibowitz and Commissioner Danny Gewirtz established their first football league in Israel in 1988. AFI leagues have grown to include some 90 teams and over 1000 players, including the Kraft Family Israel Football League (www.ifl.co.il/) and four flag football leagues. For more information on the league, see the Talk 'n' Save AFI Web site. (www.israelfootball.net)
