Background

Webtel.mobi's view is that affordable telecommunication between people is a fundamental right, and as such, the Webtel.mobi service has been structured to be able to replicate this service for companies and organisations that have their own client bases, to which they would like to provide low cost and high quality telecommunication services.

As such, Webtel.mobi appoints suitable companies and/or organisations as Affiliates, and provides them with their own mobile phone service, branded to their own identity, and which they provide to their own existing client bases. These Affiliate mobile phone services are set up at no cost to the Affiliate, and can be completely set up and operational within fourteen days from application.

Webtel.mobi personnel provide full familiarisation training in the product to Affiliate mobile phone services, and provide full support to them at all times.

All technical support for the Affiliate mobile phone services is provided by Webtel.mobi, and the Affiliate sites' only requirement is to attend to administrative support of its clients.

Affiliate mobile phone services are able to provide extremely low cost and high quality telecommunication services to their existing clients (at exactly the same prices as Webtel.mobi), have their own "mobile phone company", and earn a percentage of all call and text spend through their own service.

Similarly, Affiliate Corporate mobile phone services allow companies to drastically reduce their corporate telecommunications spend, while at the same time act as a revenue-generator for the company.

How to get your own Affiliate mobile phone company

All that a company or organisation needs to obtain its own Affiliate mobile phone service is:

  1. An established company with references, and a good financial standing.

  2. An established client base (or personnel complement) of its own.

  3. The desire or requirement to establish its own mobile phone company, and capability to market the service to its existing client base or personnel.

  4. Which will enable the Affiliate mobile phone service to:

    • Enjoy the prestige of having its own "mobile phone company".

    • Provide ultra low cost mobile and landline calling, and mobile texting, to its own client base, and enable its clients to lower their calling and texting costs by up to 80%.

    • Earn substantial revenue from all call and text spend over its service.

    • In the case of a company which establishes its own mobile phone company for its personnel, it can lower its company's telecommunications bill by up to 80%, while at the same time earning substantial revenue from the telecommunications spend.

In terms of correct terminology, Webtel.mobi is a Specialized Mobile Provider (SMP), and the Affiliate mobile phone companies - which operate from the Webtel.mobi platform - are formally known as Virtual Specialized Mobile Providers (VSMPs).
