Telkom Business today launched an out-of-bundle rate of 79c per minute to all networks at any time, an offer the company says is "the most cost effective call rate available today."

"The Convergence SingleRate offering is the first of its kind in the market today," says executive at Telkom Business product house Jan Pieterse.

"This is another unique solution from Telkom Business, aimed at serving the needs of SME customers."

Pieterse says Telkom Business aims to offer true convergence through its combination of fixed, data, cloud, IT and mobile capabilities. "Many of our SME customers see this as a big business concept that doesn't really apply to them," he says.

"That is partly why it was critical for us to develop a product offering specifically for that market, something that brings the concept of convergence to life, something that enables productivity, convenience and cost effectiveness."

According to Pieterse, Convergence SingleRate brings together the best of fixed and mobile. "A BizTalk contract (fixed plan) available from R299 per month gives users a 79c out-of-bundle rate from their landline to all local networks all the time, including line rental and up to 700 free minutes.

By adding another R49 per month, the same 79c out-of-bundle rate applies from a Telkom Mobile phone to any network. All of this is based on pure per second billing, meaning customers pay for the actual time they are on the phone."

"Customers can buy [fixed, data, IT, cloud and mobile] as standalone solutions or they can choose tailor-made packages that suit their business needs," says Pieterse.
