As South Africans battle with current economic challenges, including price hikes on almost everything and continuing high unemployment numbers, the need for innovative strategies for consumers to save money has never been clearer. So here’s an out-of-the-box thought:

What have you heard about Vobi?

 

Vobi From Vox: Voice, Video and Text

Vobi is Vox’s mobile Voice Calling application that brings you some key differentiating features when compared to other phone apps you might know about.

Vobi allows users to make and receive calls from their mobile phones at reduced rates, using the Vox network. It also provides text messaging and video call functionality.

But what makes Vobi different, you may ask? And how could this help a monthly budget?

Read on for some good financial news.

 

Vobi Voice Calls

Using the Vobi app, you can make local calls at reduced rates across all platforms, to mobile phone numbers as well as landlines.

That’s right: your Vobi app lets you call any local number at significantly reduced rates – without the need for the person you’re calling to be in the same club.

Of course, you can always call Vobi to Vobi at low-to-no cost  – but the really good news is being able to call Vobi to mobile, or Vobi to landline, at some of the lowest rates in the market.

You can also make international calls from anywhere in the world at reduced rates, without needing to make special roaming arrangements via your service provider (remembering that international roaming costs can be very expensive).

In a nutshell, the Vobi app – which isn’t new, it’s been around since 2016, so it’s tried and tested – enables you to benefit from lower call rates across all networks and platforms, and gives you the ability to receive all home or office phone calls on your mobile phone, regardless of where you are in the world.

Long story short? You can call more, for less, with the Vobi app.

 

Vobi Texting and Video Calls

For both Vobi texting and video calls, the person on the other end of your chat also needs to have a Vobi number, in other words communicating Vobi to Vobi.

With all the other great Voice benefits Vobi offers, it’s time to spread the word!

Super Phone Calls with Supafone

This goodlooking device maximises your Home Fibre investment by carrying calls over your Vox fibre. Don’t be tied down to an expensive landline handset, but instead choose to walk free, and talk cheap with the Supafone – a cordless phone with ‘super powers’.

Supafone calls are routed over Vox’s high-quality Voice network and the device boasts a wide range of up to 50m indoors and 300m outdoors. Range extenders are available, to increase coverage.

Supafone offers the following benefits:

  • Maximum call functionality: Supafone transfers between handsets and offer simultaneous IP (internet) calls.
  • No infrastructure fuss: Supafone plugs directly into your existing router so you’re ready to go in seconds.
  • Free extras: Enjoy caller line identification, itemised call billing, reduced calling rates and voicemail.
  • Cost-effective and efficient: The Supafone can save you up to 30 percent on calls, is capable of HD sound quality and can connect up to six handsets.
  • Extensive network coverage: Supafone enables calls over any internet connection and allows you to switch instantly between IP and fixed line calls.

In addition to these benefits, you can also retain your existing number if you move to Vox’s Supafone, and you can add up to five additional handsets. The Supafone allows three concurrent calls to be made: two over Vox and one over a Telkom landline – so it’s great for families!

 

Cell Boosters

Finally, with Vox you can also say goodbye to dropped calls and slow Data connections – our cell phone signal boosters can take an existing but weak cell phone signal and boost it within your home, providing great connection as you need it.

It’s perfect for times when there is a slow connection or perhaps a signal loss in bad weather: our cell boosters will amplify incoming and outgoing signal from your mobile devices accordingly.

 

We Dare You…

So there you have it.

The next time you’re considering an email versus a voice call, why not brave a real conversation instead?

Save the emojis for another day and talk more, for less, with Vox – where you can put the smile into your voice and not through an emoji.
