Afg VoIP-based callshop solutions are attractive to customers for their low entry cost (no need for significant additional investment) and great flexibility. Internet café/callshop owners can offer users prepaid and/or postpaid calling, as well as issue their own calling cards.

Who is it for?

• Callshops currently working with old circuit switch technologies who are aiming to reduce their costs and upgrade their systems
• Internet cafés looking to increase their range of services and bring in more customers.
• International universities where students frequently call home/abroad.
• ITSPs/carriers interested in providing outsourced/hosted services for Internet cafes/callshops.

If you want to start establishing your own callshop network in your home country or abroad and need more technical and/or pricing information about our solutions for callshop services, please contact our sales team. The main revenue stream for Internet café/callshop owners comes from calls generated in phone booths or via clients installed on PCs. Here is a step-by-step scenario:

• An Internet café/callshop customer enters a phone booth and places a call by dialing the destination number directly.
• Alternatively, the call can be placed using a softphone client installed on a PC.
• Afg identifies the phone booth, keeps track of call details, and calculates the corresponding call charges. The software is monitored by the operator via a PC.
• Upon call completion, the operator presents the caller with a bill for the call(s) he/she has made, according to the rates for each country called.
