VoIP/broadband telco gotalk has formed an alliance with telecoms equipment maker, D-Link, covering Australia and New Zealand.

The company said it would reveal full details at the CeBit show in Darling Harbour. However, gotalk, CEO, Steve Picton, said: "Very simply this means we buy and recommend D-Link hardware and they recommend and bundle gotalk services. Each D-Link ATA and selected modems will now be preconfigured with gotalk settings making customer setup extremely easy and both companies will undertake joint marketing activity including advertising, trade show and other channel promotions."

gotalk provides a range of wholesale and retail telecommunication services through its own switching centre in Sydney's Castlereagh Street, which it claims handles over a billion international minutes per year - more than 20 percent of all Australian outbound international call traffic. The company offers a range of prepaid mobile, Internet, broadband voice (VoIP) and phonecard services all on one account. gotalk also provides a range of post paid products including fixed line voice, mobile, broadband and dial up Internet and broadband voice (VoIP).

gotalk recently (January 19) changed its distributor model, signing agreements with Blue Chip Infotech, Ingram Micro and Synnex Australia.
