TelFree pursues with great pride its role as an alternative telecommunications provider, and thus aims to reduce the cost of communication and empower the less advantaged in emerging markets. To this end, Telfree has launched two major projects, MzansiSMS and EduMandla.
Telfree MzansiSMS
MzansiSMS is targeted at South Africans, to whom it aims to bring the lowest-cost SMS rates in the country. Thanks to MzansiSMS, the lesser fortunate are finally able to enjoy cheaper cell phone services – a move that has transformed the mobile landscape in South Africa, where often, the poorest have been paying the highest rates for mobile services.
The MzansiSMS service is delivered via a small, easily downloadable application for mobile phones in South Africa, accessible on most mobile devices with colour screens. MzansiSMS can reduce the cost per SMS to less than one cent, truly democratising the use of the mobile phone.
EduMandla
EduMandla is a groundbreaking opportunity to empower people through learning and educational services via their mobile phones. EduMandla is a project in progress and in discussion with key community and financial partners in Africa. EduMandla will be delivered as a mobile application, accessible on most mobile devices with colour screens.
EduMandla takes a holistic attitude to the provision of information and educational services. It does this covering various approaches to education, from highly structured learning to less structured and entertaining ways of learning using games and interactive programs.
