Telkom has introduced new closer calling plans for customers looking to ‘get more value for their money. The telco says that, starting in March 2021, copper landline customers will be able to align their calling plans to its SmartVoice plans.
The new Closer Calling plans are available to new and existing customers and can be provisioned on Copper, Fibre and as a bolt-on to IPVoice (Internet Protocol Voice); replacing the stand-alone fixed-line as well as the old Closer Calling plans known as Weekend and Evening, Anytime, Anytime Extra, Anytime Plus and Unlimited Fixed Line.
New Telkom Closer Calling plans:
- Closer Basic @ R199
- Closer 100 @ R299
- Closer 300 @ R399
- Closer Unlimited @ R599
- Closer Basic Bolt-on @ R40
- Closer 100 Bolt-on @ R70
- Closer 300 Bolt-on @ R130
- Closer Unlimited Bolt-on @ R220
“The past year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has emphasised a unique dynamic in our customers’ connectivity needs,” says a Telkom spokesperson.
“Customers will be happy to know that we’ve done away with the stand-alone Voice line with no inclusive value and the time limitation of Evening and Weekend minutes, so our customers can now make calls at any time.”
Also, it’s worth noting is that all new Closer Calling plans now include 3000 minutes that can be used to call Telkom numbers free of charge. Depending on which plan a customer subscribes to, off-net minutes are also included to call other local networks.
The offer will be available until the end of July 2021 but due to the uncertainty of the economic impact of the pandemic, it will be reviewed after this period. Small business owners can sign up for these voice packages at any Telkom shop, through the Telkom call centre or online.
