In a move that could rattle its competitors’ cages, Telkom has launched a new package, called Unlimited Lite, offering customers unlimited calls to fixed-line networks and to its own mobile network for R599/month.

Unlimited Lite is a “lighter version” of Telkom’s Completely Unlimited plan.

Unlimited Lite packages are available from R599 and come with a selection of smartphones. Subscribers get unlimited calls on Telkom’s mobile network, unlimited calls to Telkom and Neotel fixed lines, free Wi-Fi data at Telkom mobile hotspots and 800 minutes to call to other South African networks.

Unlike the Completely Unlimited plans, however, customers will have to add their own data and SMS bundles if required.

“This is a key tool especially for small businesses that compete with larger enterprises while having to closely manage operational costs,” said Telkom Business managing executive Megan Nicholas. — © 2014 NewsCentral Media
