Cape Town-based alternative telecommunications company Sundial Telecom is offering free calls to a number of overseas destinations every Saturday for the rest of 2007.
The company, licensed by the Independent Communication Authority of SA, is going head-to-head with state company Telkom's WorldCall products in a battle to win the hearts of SA consumers.
"We offered some free calls to our subscribers during May and June," Sundial Telecom MD Nick Barton said in a recent statement. "It has been received so positively that we've now made this a key aspect of our service for the remainder of the year - even incorporating it into our calling card product."
Between 10am and 6pm every Saturday, holders of Sundial Telecom's Call the World card or voucher are able to call selected destinations free of charge using "free minutes" allocated by their cellphone network provider or the Telkom Closer call plan.
In July it was Canada and the US. "Free" call destinations for the rest of the year are China and Hong Kong during August, Greece and Italy during September, Germany in October, Spain and Portugal in November, and the UK and Ireland in December.
Sundial Telecom can be used from any touch-tone phone in South Africa, 24 hours a day, offering its customers "absolute convenience and simplicity".
"Over the last two years we've listened to what our customers want and shaped our products accordingly - without ever compromising on call quality," says Barton.
The company's subscriber account "allows frequent users to manage their budget and recharge in small increments without the hassle of contracts or equipment to install."
Sundial Telecom International Calling Cards are available in retail stores across South Africa. For more information, visit Sundial Telecom.
