What is VoIP?

Voice over IP (VoIP) is essentially a phone over the Internet, where calls are made on a computer with an ADSL or other broadband Internet connection, and routed via a service provider to a phone number.

Why would anyone do this when they can just pick up the phone?

BECAUSE THE CALLS ARE 1/4 OF THE PRICE OF NORMAL CALLS

Making calls on your computer, especially to international destinations, are crazily cheap. From fixed line to fixed line its about the same, but to cell phones in South Africa and to international destinations it is way more cost effective than Telkom. For instance, you can phone anywhere in the US for 20 SA cents per minute! (Calls to Europe are as low as 18c per minute). 

Sound good? Like to undercut the horrific Telkom prices?

Here's how:

  • Get yourself a USB headset to talk. 
  • Get hooked up with a VoIP Service Provider- our favourite one is Skype. Skype will show you how to set it up, how to use it and how much it can save you!

Remember: Your Telephone bill can be cut by up to 1/4 of the price! Its unbelievably cheap for international calls.
