South Africa: Neotel and Samsung launch NeoFlex Voice

Samsung Networking, a Neotel approved distributor, has launched a business phone service, offering SMEs a telephony cost saving of more than 20% on average. Its business solution, NeoFlex Voice, offers SMEs substantial savings; excellent voice quality and hassle free installation.

Using Neotel’s Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, Samsung Networking is able to offer customers a true alternative to what is currently available in the market, at a lower rate with crystal-clear voice quality.

Samsung Networking Managing Director, Charles Enslin, says consumers are continuously looking to reduce the cost of doing business and this is a driving force in any business during this challenging economic condition. “A key differentiator of utilizing Neotel’s network is the ability to offer traditional voice quality at very competitive call rates. With Neotel, consumers only pay 34 cents per minute for local peak landline calls, and 17 cents per minute for local off peak landline calls. There is no differentiation between Neotel-to-Neotel peak and off peak rates, which are charged at 17 cents per minute for local calls at all times. This means a significant saving on ones phone bill.”

“Neotel’s service is wireless and does not require complicated installation, it is delivered via a fixed-wireless product, eliminating the risk of losing one’s service due to copper wire theft. Whilst the service focuses on providing consumers with high quality voice, it also has the ability to provide data, SMS and e-mail,” he explains.

The appointment of Samsung Networking as an authorised channel partner has enabled Neotel to offer even more benefits to SMEs. These services can be used anywhere within Neotel’s coverage area. This means SME’s can open new offices and relocate existing offices in a quick and hassle free manner without having to wait for new phone lines to be installed.

The NeoFlex Voice solution comprises one CDMA 1x device that connects to most PBX systems, old and new. Being a fixed wireless solution, there is minimal installation required and the service can be connected almost instantly by Samsung Networking. Samsung Networking supplies and maintains the terminal equipment, which will significantly improve service quality for small businesses. Furthermore, improved voice quality is guaranteed as the solution runs on the backbone of Neotel’s existing CDMA network.

“NeoFlex Voice is a fixed wireless solution, therefore customers will no longer experience problems such as cable theft, copper degradation and slow implementation times. We are delighted that we have been chosen to work with Neotel to bring this unique solution to the market as we believe it will add great value to any small business,” concludes Enslin.
