Smile Telecom has introduced two first-to-market services namely SmileVoice and SmileUnlimited in all its operating markets. SmileVoice is a free mobile app that enables customers with any Android or Apple iPhone device to use their data bundles to make clear voice, video calls and send SMSs to any number locally and internationally. All calls are charged in MBs to an active data bundle and equated to a local per second call rate.
SmileUnlimited on the other hand provides customers with unlimited access for 30 days over Smile’s 4G LTE broadband network. Any unlimited offering is subject to a fair usage policy (FUP) which ensures that connectivity will be maintained throughout the 30-day period, albeit at declining speeds once the generous FUP is reached. It also provides for the speed to be increased again by the simple purchase of another data bundle.
Irene Charnley, Smile Group’s Chief Executive Officer said, “With the introduction of SmileVoice and SmileUnlimited, we are once again demonstrating our commitment to the advancement of the people of Africa. As the pioneers of SuperFast mobile broadband on the continent, we understand the direct correlation of broadband penetration to the creation of wealth and the acceleration of development. We are expending huge resources to make internet access and clear voice available across all our markets.
