Comcast has launched Carefree Minutes Worldwide 300 plan which the company claims will provide competitive rates to some of the calling destinations around the globe.

The new plan reportedly offers ‘300 anytime minutes’ to 100 countries for $14.95 per month but cannot be used in combination with any other Carefree Minutes plan.

Cathy Avgiris, SVP and general manager of voice services at Comcast, said: “Our goal is to provide customers with plans that allow them to easily connect with family and friends, no matter where they live, at a low cost with premium call quality. Our Worldwide calling plan is another example of how we continue to reinvent phone service while offering competitive cost savings.”

The company said that the new calling plan includes 41 countries in Europe, 26 countries in the Caribbean, Central and South America, 20 countries in Asia and the Pacific, eight countries in the Middle East and five countries in Africa.

In addition to the calling plan options and international rates, its digital voice customers will have access to home phone products and features such as, universal caller ID that allows its Triple Play customers to view incoming caller information on their TV or PC while watching a movie or surfing the web.

Its SmartZone Communications Center online application enables customers to manage email, voice mail and their universal address book, all in one place.
