iBurst cuts voice rates

Wireless broadband provider iBurst has reduced the call rates on its iCall voice service while keeping iCall to iCall telephone calls free.

“Not only have we made voice communication more affordable for iCall subscribers, iBurst is helping to make the local telecoms sector more competitive by continuously fine-tuning our voice offerings,” said Alan Knott-Craig, Jnr, Managing Director of iBurst.

From 1 March, iCall subscribers will be paying 18% less for national peak time calls, 10% less for national off peak calls, 19% less for cellular peak time calls and 11% less for cellular off peak calls.

International savings are dependent on destination but iCall subscribers can expect savings of over 50% on calls to countries such as the United Kingdom, USA, China, Australia and France.

With iCall, it is cheaper to call a landline number overseas than it is to call Cape Town from Johannesburg from a traditional landline.

iBurst now has interconnection agreements in place with all major South African telecommunication networks – Telkom, Vodacom, MTN and Cell C – and iCall subscribers are therefore able to receive incoming calls from the customers of any network.

iCall subscribers are required to pay a subscription fee of R50 per month which includes an iCall telephone number and free iCall to iCall calls.

In order to make international, national, local and mobile calls pre-paid vouchers need to be purchased and are currently available in R100 and R200 denominations.
