Internet cafes flourished in popularity when they were first introduced because they offered a chance to get online in a public setting and use the Internet for various needs.
While these types of services might not be so popular in the connected and mobile world we live in today in the States, there are a number of international countries where these types of facilities are still key to having access to the World Wide Web.
In addition to a place for using the Internet, some countries are also seeing popularity in similar locations dedicated to offering long distance calling for the public.
These “Call Shops” offer a chance to make long distance calls at a cheap rate. Users are given access to an on-site telephone (usually set up in a booth) where they can place long distance calls to any destination and then either immediately before or after completing the call, pay for the call.
For service providers, Call Shops are an easy way to earn additional profit. To assist with making this management a breeze, mobile VoIP solutions provider REVE Systems offers a dedicated Call Shop module for use with its iTel Switch Plus Platform.
Because iTel Switch Plus offering comes with its own billing system, users can have direct access from their call shop module as well as the ability to easily enable and disable call shop access for resellers. In addition, the offering makes it possible to print any call records even after a booth is deactivated.
REVE Systems will be at this week’s ITEXPO, the business technology event in Miami, Fla. Visit REVE at booth # 921.
