To remain competitive in today’s business environment, small and medium businesses need to seize every opportunity and be highly responsive, efficient and productive. Research has shown that 69% of customers will rather hang up a call than leave a voicemail message for a business to call them back. This means that every call missed is a business opportunity missed.

Vodacom One Net Express is the first mobile switchboard designed for small and medium businesses, allowing them to be available at all times, whether in the office or on the road, on a single number. It also includes intelligent features that route calls on groups in the business - with no call divert image of the business as it directs business calls to the right department.

Designed to give small business the competitive edge

For the first time in South Africa, switchboard features are available on a cellphone with no need to spend money on infrastructure or equipment, with Vodacom One Net Express. The new service helps business with between 2 and 99 employees, manage their communications, improve business efficiency and drive down costs.

This service is available on any cellphone, whether it is a basic phone or a smartphone. For just R149* per user per month, a business will never miss another call while saving money, as each employee on the Vodacom One Net Express service receive 500 free minutes to call other people in the business for free.

A business can also port its landline telephone number to, or request a landline telephone number from Vodacom. This is done by replacing a business’ traditional fixed landline with 3G desk phone that works with a SIM card. By doing so, Vodacom One Net Express can link a business’ cellphones and landline telephone numbers.
