adminThe service, to be called Broadacall, will be launched before year-end.
Addressing delegates on Thursday at a Press conference in Bulawayo, the company’s chief executive officer Mr Zachary Wazara said the application could be downloaded for free and could be used across all networks in the country.
“The application can be downloaded for free but there is a subscription fee of $1. Making calls whether local or international is 12 cents per minute and there are no roaming charges,” said Mr Wazara.
He also said using the VoIP was not only limited to the Broadacom network but all networks as long as one plugged it to the Internet.
Mr Wazara said the application was just like social network sites such as Whatsapp and Skype but the difference was that a user could call other people who did not have the application.
“VoIP, in simple terms, is a communication technology that allows one to make calls over the Internet. With VoIP, one can make calls from a device that accesses the Internet such as a smartphone, laptop and a tablet computer but at the moment these must be products of Android or Apple.
“The most attractive value proposition offered by VoIP is that calls can be made at very low costs, of 12 cents per minute,” he said.
