Telkom enables single number use
Telkom Business has introduced a Single Number service that links a landline telephone number to multiple phones, including mobile devices.
Telkom Business explained that its Single Number service ensures that “business clients are always reachable and never miss that all important call”.
“This service will enable Telkom Business customers to answer calls anywhere and from any phone,” Telkom said.
Single Number’s simultaneous ringing option enables all connected phones to ring at the same time, allowing the business to answer wherever is most convenient at any given moment.
Single Number allows calls to reach a business even if the landline goes down as a result of cable theft or weather.
“Furthermore, the solution can be easily scaled as Telkom customers can add and remove phones at an instant from a self-service portal,” Telkom said.
Customers will be charged a once-off activation fee of R30 and a monthly subscription that starts at R99.
Calling Single Number will result in normal call charges to a landline for the caller, irrespective of whether the call is answered on a mobile phone, ensuring that the caller has peace of mind and is charged minimally.
Single Number also links other network operators’ mobile customers, and calls answered on these phones will result in charges at standard rates.
