8ta per-second billing for prepaid
8ta today announced that all its new prepaid customers will now get per-second billing and will not lose any of the other benefits associated with the service.
“Competitively priced, this new billing option enables customers to pay pro-rata at a per second rate for the duration of the call, thus making per-second billing a cheaper option for subscribers who make shorter duration calls on a regular basis,” 8ta said in a press statement.
8ta’s per-second billed pre-paid option is priced at R1.12 per minute for off peak calls and R2.75 per minute for peak time calls. The per-second billing rate is applicable from the first second of the call, and will kick in on 15 May 2011.
“Unlike some other networks that charge a higher off-peak rate for calls to competitor networks, 8ta’s customers are charged a low R1.12 off-peak rate regardless of the network called. Peak time calls will be charged R2.75 per minute to any network as well,” 8ta said.
While this option will become the standard rate for 8ta customers, subscribers will have the choice of opting for the flat rate of R1.50 per-minute billing structure instead.
“Furthermore, pre-paid customers currently on per-minute billing can opt to change to per-second billing as well,” 8ta said.
Amith Maharaj, Managing Executive for 8ta said, “8ta’s new per-second pre-paid tariff empowers customers to choose a billing option that best suits them.”
“Simplicity while retaining value remains a strategic imperative for 8ta, as we are still the only operator to reward customers with free daily SMS’s as well as free minutes just for receiving calls,” he concluded.
