Telecircuit Network Corporation, an Alpharetta, Georgia (USA)-based company has established a unique operation in Ghana. Not only is it giving super-low call rates to benefit Africans, especially Ghanaians in the USA, but it is operating right from the center of Accra!

Currently, about 25 youth have got jobs at this call center, which has the advantage of speaking to Ghanaians in their local dialect. It is surprising to most Ghanaians in the US when they are called up and the person on the line is a Ghanaian, marketing a low-priced calling service specially packaged for Ghanaians and speaking Twi, Ga or Ewe!
Telecircuit sells at per-minute rate on its Long-Distance services, which gives customers excellent value-for money. For instance, instead of speaking for a few hours per month and getting a standard bill for $29.99 or $49.99 per month, Telecircuit customers pay as low as $5 if they spend 56 minutes calling a land-line in a month.

In addition to this, Telecircuit gives all new customers 100 free minutes just to try the service. Customers are given the option to try without any obligation. A long-term contract is not required, and customers can cancel at any time without incurring a cancellation charge.

“That is an absolute relief for me”, says Dinah Sey, a Manassas, Virginia-based customer of Telecircuit who has been using the service for about one month. “When I received my bill, it was only $12.35; and I had used it for one whole month. Telecircuit gave me 100 minutes of free talk time when I signed up, and the rates are so low.

I used to depend on calling cards, but this land-based service is even cheaper than the calling card I usually purchase, and the quality of the line is so good it gives me relief. Most of all, I appreciate the fact that I can call Ghana on-the-go with my cell phone or at any phone, and my access number and pin enables me to call Ghana at the same low rates.

I have already recommended my entire church to Telecircuit, and have received a $10 referral bonus for each one that signs up. This is great! More so, I am contributing directly to Ghana’s development by creating jobs for Ghanaians!”

Telecircuit’s service ranges from Regional calling plans, dial-up Internet, Local and International Long Distance Termination in the States of Georgia and Florida. States which are covered for Local and International Long-Distance services include Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, Utah.

Calls from any of the listed States to Ghana costs only $0.089 per minute to landlines in Ghana; and $0.179 to mobile numbers. Competitors like Sprint, Verizon and AT & T charge anywhere between $0.45 to $2 per minute for landline calls to Ghana.
