Telkom Business Mobile launches flat rate TopUp voice plan

Telkom Business Mobile launches flat rate TopUp voice plan

Johannesburg, 24 Jan 2014

Smart One-Rate TopUp is competitive and cost-efficient. The single, flat rate mobile product is the latest innovative offer to come out of Telkom Business.

Says Megan Nicholas, Managing Executive for Mobile Solutions at Telkom Business: "Customers pay a nominal rate of R49 per month to benefit from a flat rate of 79c for voice calls, 21c per SMS and 15c/MB on Smart One-Rate TopUp. These flat rates apply no matter the time of day or the network."

According to Nicholas, a major obstacle when it comes to mobile telephony contracts is the confusion around the various options regarding on- or off-peak, in or out of bundle, on-network or off-network rates. The combination of these intricate elements can have a significant impact on a company's total monthly communication cost. "Our approach is to offer a simplified solution at a highly competitive cost, enabling real transparency. Ultimately, that's what matters most to people managing a business's operational costs."

Smart One-Rate allows the end-user to specify a monthly recurring airtime value, which means the customer chooses how much they want to spend on a monthly basis. When this is exceeded, they then have the option of 'topping up' with more airtime.
