IRWINDALE, Calif., Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Charter customers
in California are finding it
easier and more affordable than ever to keep in contact with family
and friends south of the border.

Charter is now including unlimited calling to Mexico landlines and up to 250 minutes of
calling to Mexico cell phones with
the Charter Phone Unlimited plan in California when customers choose the Triple
Play PaqueTV Plus package.
Triple Play PaqueTV Plus bundles Charter Phone, TV and Internet
service with the popular Latino View Spanish-language programming
package.
"Adding Unlimited Calling to Mexico is another way that we are increasing
the value of our Phone service," said Carl
Leuschner, Charter's vice president of Internet and Phone
Products. "Most competitors charge incrementally for Mexico calling, with costs close to
$40 per month. Charter is offering
that same value at substantial savings to our California customers."
That means Mexican-Americans in California can keep up with events back home –
from Tijuana to Cancun and Matamoros to Manzanillo – without the fear of a costly
telephone bill at the end of the month or the difficulties
associated with telephone calling cards.
"Dialing the number on the card, a 10-digit pin, and then the
number you are calling – it's very inconvenient," said Anthony Leyva, a senior customer sales and
service center representative for Charter in Long Beach.
Like many Southern California
families, the Leyvas used to rely on calling cards for making calls
to their relatives in Mexico. But
that changed when they signed up for the Charter Phone Unlimited
plan.
"If you add the Latino View package, you get this on top of it,"
Leyva explained. "You automatically get those calls included in
your plan. It helps a lot."
Now, Leyva's family members can control costs while they remain
connected to aunts, uncles and cousins who reside in Guadalajara.
"For the Hispanic community, it's very important to keep in
contact with family," Leyva said. "My mom is the one who makes most
of the calls. She has five sisters and two brothers there, and she
calls every one of them once or twice a week."
Charter is also bringing improved video services to Southern California. With new all-digital
networks in Long Beach,
Glendale and Burbank, Charter customers now have access to
more than 180 high definition television channels including FOX
Deportes, Galavisión and HBO Latino.
And, with digital set-top boxes, Charter customers are gaining
Video On Demand (VOD) access for every television in their homes.
More than 10,000 VOD options, including more than 1,800 HD titles
and many Spanish-language selections, are available with just the
push of a button.
