Neotel declares war on Telkom
FMTech's Duncan Mcleod, is running a story on Neotel's new offerings, a R99/month option without voice or data bundles, with a Neotel to Neotel rate of just 17c/min, and data rates of just 8c/MB, one of the cheapest in SA.
The second option is a R199/month plan that includes a 1000 Neotel to Neotel minutes and 200 SMS's to cellular operators.
“This is by far the best value for calling to any landline phone during peak hours,” says Mukul Sharma, executive head of the consumer business unit at Neotel. “There is no minimum charge per call, it offers true per-second billing and there are no peak or off-peak rates for on-net calls. There is also no installation fee.”
Neotel is finally giving consumers what they want, a real value for money alternative to Telkom!
