Thread: Want lower mobile call rates?

  1. #1

    Default Want lower mobile call rates?

    Want lower mobile call rates? There’s an app for that.

    BlackBridge Communications has unveiled its mobile app, NiQqui, which it says addresses the high fees for mobile-originated calls to both local and international destinations.

    Will MyBB get an account to test it with? I'd love to see how it fares on our networks.

    Oh, and by the way - FNB Connect charges 89 (peak) and 79c (off-peak) per minute to mobiles and you don't need to pay R9.99 per month (if you're an FNB user, though). I also think that it might be per-minute billing and that it uses standard VOIP codecs (and not a special one for mobile networks).

    Too expensive with the price per month. You already pay for your calls, why pay for a subscription as well? That should be free.

    Umm, Cell C is already per second, and only 99c per minute?

    === HP Microserver N36L == 4GB == 8TB == 5450 ===

    Are they the same prices as mweb's calling plan except mweb does not charge subscription fees? Infact I think mweb might be cheaper. Even Cell c normal calling plan is probable cheaper time you take your data costs into account.

    Many of the Betamax or Delmont products are cheaper per minute and they have mobile apps. Perhaps this would be aimed at businesses who are scared to use their credit cards online to buy Betamax airtime?

    “In addition, there is no special club that users have to belong to or any other overpriced service that first needs to be purchased in order to become a niQqui user,” he said.

    Blackbridge notes that for a once-off fee of R99 and a monthly subscription of R9.99, users can gain access to a range of call benefits from niqqui.com
    The two statements are in direct contradiction!
    The once-off fee of R99 is an overpriced service that first needs to be purchased!
    The monthly subscription of R9.99 is no different than paying fees to belong to a special club!
    EPIC FAIL

    Stop with all the b?llsh?t applications.

    No monthly fees, connection fee, much more advanced, not only voip, can dial out using a local access number:
