New VOIP Service in South Africa

Aiming at becoming the Skype of the mobile VoIP arena, Yeigo is a mobile Voice over IP (VoIP) software solution built and offered by three Cape Town graduates.

The software can be freely downloaded onto many higher end cellphones. After registering, Yeigo account holders can make worldwide VoIP calls free of charge to anyone with a Yeigo account.

All that is paid for is the necessary internet connection costs.Outside of the Yeigo network, the company claims discounts of up to 80 percent on calls to landlines and international destinations. For SMS, discounts of up to 90% are claimed. (see rates) Managing director Rapelang Rabana said that a small margin on the outgoing calls is the only revenue source.
