AppChat mobile voice network operator is set to revolutionize South Africa’s telecom sector with its promise of affordable local and international calls.
AppChat promises per-second billing for daily off-net calls other than in-bundle and out-of-bundle billing rates.
According to John Holdsworth, the founder and CEO of the MOVO, the firm will cut the calling costs in SA by 50 percent. Holdsworth told TechCentral he will achieve this through lean operations and instead of circuit switched operations, AppChat will use mobile VoIP in partnership with Cell C.
The service emulates Denmark‘s largest MVNO Telmore and SA’s Virgin Mobile which also runs on Cell C’s infrastructure.
AppChat at the moment is working on iOS, Android, BlackBerry OS and Windows Phone Apps to record all call billing information for subscribers to simply manage their voice costs.
AppChat will also set up its on core IP networks in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town to increase its voice quality and reduce costs.
