What are the advantages of using our 087 service.                                                    

·         The immediate advantage is a cost saving. Calls made with using our 087 service to call phone numbers, landlines in South Africa as well as international numbers are cheaper.

·         Pure per second billing (using business package ) – VOIPX offers per second billing right from the first second. This means no more wasted seconds due to minimal billing.

·         Your number is portable. This means that wherever you have an internet connection, you are able to “log in” to your 087 number to make and receive calls.

·         Calls between other 087 users on the network are free of charge.

·         Our 087 numbers integrate seamlessly with our IP PBX (or any other IP PBX) providing a highly cost effective least cost routing solution

·         Our 087 numbers can be used on any PC or laptop using a “softphone” thus eliminating the need for separate hardware.

·         Our VOICE traffic is carried locally over our wireless infrastructure before terminating via dedicated lines, thus providing high quality calls.

·         We are able to provide service where other providers are not able to due to our wireless technology used.

What do I get when I sign up for the 087 service?

·         Firstly, you will receive your own 087 number. This means that you can give that number to anyone in South Africa and they will be able to call you directly on your 087 number from their cellphone or landline.

·         Immediate discount on call rates to cellphones and landlines (see rate table example below)

·         Itemized billing

·         NO CONTRACT. This means that you are able to make use of the service on a month to month basis with no contract tie downs. (other conditions may apply if you are renting a handset from us).

·         Free calls to other users on the network.

·         Free voice mail.

·         Easily manageable prepaid payment system in order to control expenses (post paid also available)

What savings can I expect ?

The savings when using VOIP are real. We can install our 087 service where ordinary analog lines are not available. Depending on your package, our rates are charged per second or in increments of 30 or 60 seconds.

Below, you can find a few examples of comparisons in pricing for outgoing calls.

A minimum amount means an amount that will be charged regardless of call length. In other words, if you make a call to a mobile from a Telkom line for 30 seconds, you will be charged a minimum 1 minute charge.

For SA Mobile destinations, Telkom also charges in 30 second intervals. VOIPX will charge you per second.

Prices are based on Peak time prices from Telkom (business hours). VOIPX does not differentiate between peak and off-peak. We charge a flat rate…
