Voip Payphones to be Installed in Toronto

Posted in Uncategorized by zonfon on October 22, 2008

CallCheap will be installing VOIP payphones in two Yorkville cafés mid November 2008. The unique business opportunity is that at a time when Bell Canada is getting out of the payphone business, CallCheap is stepping in. Bell Canada charges 50 cents for local calls only, plus hefty long distance charges. CallCheap will charge only 25 cents (Canadian or US coins) for a 5 minute call ANYWHERE in Canada & USA (except Alaska, Hawaii, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, & Yukon). Although the payphones are secure with a locked coin box, they will be located inside the café with a sign in the window. This makes the payphone clean and in good working order, compared to outside payphones.

The cost of installing the phone is offset by the presence of the Internet already in the café. No traditional phone lines to install and pay for on a monthly basis. The calls will be placed on the existing CallCheap network that expands across Canada & the USA. The central billing system will calculate the revenue split 50/50 between the café on a three year contract, with a minimum monthly guarantee. The café owner will have the key to the coin box, and remittance will be monthly on a credit card. The benefit to the café is the convenience to their clientele. They also may be able to call cheaper than using their cellphone. Or they may not have a cellphone. In the foreseeable future, many people may give up their cellphones and use payphones.

In early 2009, CallCheap will install payphones in bars, cafés, hotels, restaurants, and other establishments across Canada & the United States. Estimated 10,000 payphones will be installed over the next 2 years.
