The biggest market is still the ethnic due to high value minutes. But new markets are discovered thanks to many conveniences the cards have.
Hotels, hospitals and other hospitality businesses have to purchase a PBX, a billing software and to negotiate with Telecom operators. As long as the customers and clients do pay, this solution is fine, even though invoicing is very often a manual taste.
Now they can outsource the telephony service to a Service Provider with CoolSwitch:
All the things the need to be done is to program the PBX with the access phone number (e.g. 0800) and to sell the cards. The user presses the 9 to dial outside, the PBX dials automatically the 0800 no. to accesss the CoolSwitch. Then the user is asked for his PIN code and gets a dial tone.
