So not sure if anyone noticed but we launched Pure VOIP yesterday.

Affordable national and international voice calls | Pure VoIP by Afrihost

Make voice calls with your existing Internet connection from only R50pm
www.afrihost.com www.afrihost.com

It runs on the same network as Axxess Voice so calls between the users will be free.

We support a bunch of popular voice codecs including the HD voice codecs like Opus and G722

We have a very cool feature enabled called sip forking. We allow you to register 6 devices on a single account and if they are all registered when a call comes in all of the devices will ring and you are able to take the call from any of the devices registered. This is a really cool feature if you port your landline number over and want to have it at home but not miss calls when you are out and about you can keep a voip app on the phone open and you can keep receiving calls on the go.

Yes you can. You would need a VOIP phone or a ATA device to use an old analogue phone. You can also use a voip app on your phone.

Any plans for a Afrihost VOIP app?

Not yet but that does not mean no forever.

Currently I use GS Wave on my phone and it works well with Voicemail and missed call and voice messages notifications.
 
I just wish that the call rate to a mobile phone network was cheaper. 80c is not really competitive at all if you look around at other suppliers pricing.

I agree, 80c is a bit high. If it was 70c billed per second I would jump over immediately.

How does that work?
R50.00 per month (airtime expires), no subscription costs.

The monthly fee is loading R50 each month and rolls over for a maximum of 3 months before expiring. There is no rental fee for example like a Analogue line that has a monthly rental fee excluding any usage. Here you get the monthly credit and you use it as you wish in the next 3 months.
 
But it still "force" the user R50 or so to be paid each month even though it expire every 3 months . No expiration would be great. Also a better call rate....

It's effectively the same thing as a monthly rental fee. You're being forced to buy R50 of airtime whether you want to or not which eventually expires. I would love to move over to your VOIP product, but I only use something like R10 a month of airtime with my current VOIP provider and they don't charge any monthly rental.

Understandable. I will speak to our branding team to see if they can word that better than it currently is.
 
Hello, we are interested in this service!
Questions:
If you purchase a R100pm service is there a time limit on using it up or does it roll over? If so, for how long?
Does it matter what phone you use?

Hello,

The call time rolls over for 3 months before it will expire.

You can use it only any sip supported device be it a voip phone, voip ata or a voip app on the phone. We support basically all the codecs that are available so no need to buy codecs if it isn't supported in the app. :)

Wideband codec support makes me happy.
