Telecommunications wholesaler and franchisor Telcoinabox New Zealand is launching pre-Christmas a new mobile-in-a-box to existing telecommunications resellers and customers, the first time the company has offered mobile as a stand alone service.
Resellers previously only had access to mobile data and voice through the two major carriers, Telecom New Zealand and Vodafone directly.
Telcoinabox New Zealand CEO, Shannon Fisher, said “The costs to buy direct from the carriers are often well beyond resellers reach, in excess of $250,000. Purchasing through Telcoinabox allows resellers to spend substantially less to access mobile giving them more time to concentrate on customer acquisition and, at the same time, gain access to competitive rates, automated customer billing and account management support.“
Mobile wholesaling has only been available to the New Zealand market for a short time. “We saw an opportunity to break down the barriers to entry and let resellers be in a position to complement their businesses with much needed mobile so they can offer their customers the full spectrum of telecommunications services," said Fisher.
“With over eight years of global mobile market experience this is a great opportunity for service providers to access our expertise.”
Telcoinabox is already in discussion with several organisations keen to add on mobile and earlier this year signed a three-year deal with Telecom Wholesale to wholesale mobile voice and data services on the W-CDMA network.
The company is expected to generate $30 million in revenue over the next three years.
