Neotel recently launched its NeoFlex voice service aimed at small and medium sized businesses.  The service compliments its NeoFlex multi-user data offering which was launched earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Neotel offers per-second billing from the first second and reduced on-net calls, but is that enough to ensure a monthly saving?  The table below gives a pricing comparison between Telkom and Neotel’s NeoFlex offering.<\/p>\n
