Hayo, a leading digital solutions provider in emerging markets, has signed an exclusive partnership with Talk360, a calling app provider, to deliver high-quality and affordable international calling services for communities across Africa. This collaboration supports Talk360’s mission to make international calling accessible and cost-efficient.
The partnership allows Talk360 to offer affordable calls to over four million people across the African diaspora, with Hayo providing competitive, reliable wholesale voice minutes for seamless global communication. Talk360’s user-friendly app enables customers to make calls to any mobile or landline number worldwide at reduced rates due to high traffic volumes and Hayo’s extensive network.
Feraz Ahmed, CEO of Hayo, emphasized the importance of using digital solutions to create affordable and reliable communications services, especially for communities in emerging markets where calling remains an essential service. The collaboration is particularly crucial as a large portion of the global population lacks access to mobile internet and OTT communication services.
Talk360’s CEO, Hans Osnabrugge, praised the partnership for enabling high-quality calling services, which are essential for staying connected with family and business in home countries. With over 200 payment methods supported, users can easily top up their calling credits using local currencies at more than 500,000 points of sale across South Africa. Additionally, calls can be made to over 190 countries at rates 50-99% cheaper than traditional telecom services.
Hayo’s global presence, with over 500 service provider relationships, enables it to provide on-the-ground innovation, delivering digital solutions with a positive impact on local communities and fostering growth in the African communications landscape.
