Questions and answers
1. What is a Call Shop? A call shop is a place where people can make cheap international calls. It can be part of an existing retail operation or a standalone specialist outlet. It is like an internet café with telephones.
2. Why not offer calling cards with local or freephone access numbers? You can. But if in your country access numbers are too expensive or local telephone networks are of insufficient quality, the call shop allows you to circumvent in-country telephone networks by using IP. (We can provide both solutions, though this page addresses the call shop opportunity).
3. What is the process for the caller? The caller buys a calling card from you or one of your resellers, scratches it to reveal the 10 digit PIN, picks up an available telephone in your call shop, enters the PIN, and dials the destination number. When the credit on the PIN expires, the caller purchases another.
4. What are the call savings? Calls are roughly 50% less than calling though established methods.
5. What equipment and services do you provide? We provide analogue phones and an IP gateway, which connects to our switch via your internet connection. The analogue phones are wall mountable. If you own an Internet café and prefer to offer a soft phone, this can be arranged. We also provide the PINs which you sell to callers in the form of scratch cards (scratching the card reveals the PIN). We can print and ship those too.
6. How do calls connect? The IP gateway is pre-programmed to connect to the London switch, which hosts the system and provides call termination to 170+ countries.
7. What does the caller do? As soon as the caller lifts the telephone handset, the call connects to the switch. An automated voice asks the caller for the PIN, which the caller would have bought from you initially (or from one of your resellers). The automated voice confirms the credit available, and then asks the caller to dial the international destination number.
8. What do I have to do technically to make it work? Nothing – assuming your Internet connection works and is sufficient (200 kbps un-contended bandwidth up and down for 8 concurrent calls). You just connect a few basic cables. The phones connect to the IP gateway, and the IP gateway connects to your router. No programming is required.
9. How much money can I make? 35% of the face value of each calling card – that’s $1.75 on $5 card.
10. What is essential for success? Marketing. If you sell 10 calling cards a day every day as people enter the shop, that’s $6,387 per year. If you employ 10 people to sell them in the street, in 8 hour shifts, and they all sell on average 1 an hour, that’s $51,100 per year.
