Storm shows off VOIP offerings

Johannesburg, 31 Jan 2005

Telecommunications provider Storm has announced the details of its over Protocol () offerings, claiming it can save clients up to 70% on their existing overseas bills.

Storm`s VOIP offering also claims to save companies up to 60% on the cost of their national calls.

The statement says: "Storm believes so strongly in the long-term value and sustainability of its VOIP offering that the company will take full financial responsibility for its clients` ongoing bandwidth costs, as well as the initial investment in purchasing and implementing the access circuit which includes the router and VOIP gateway."

Storm`s per-minute billing is aimed at companies making over 5 000 minutes of international calls a month, or those with a total monthly telephone bill of over R8 000.

The statement says: "The billing structure is transparent and allows clients to compare the difference between Telkom`s fixed-line rate and Storm`s VOIP rate."

"There are no hidden or capital expenditure costs," says Storm joint-CEO Tim Parsonson. "All the client has to do is pay for the calls. We don`t just manage the technology; we also conduct ongoing analysis of the network usage to ensure the solution is delivering the maximum return. We take on the responsibility of managing the relationships which customers would normally have had with vendors, such as Telkom and other ISPs."
