The Telfree Group is a privately-owned group of companies headquartered in Switzerland, which provide value-added communication services of the next generation. Telfree has positioned itself to penetrate the ‘last growth market’ – namely, Africa and other emerging markets, with its largest operations in South Africa – but not to the exclusion of developed markets.

Telfree makes the ideal of unified communications a reality. It does this by bringing together carrier-grade telephony, teleconferencing, voicemail and SMS messaging, as well as instant messaging (chat), email services and presence notification services, among others. With Telfree, unified communications is achieved across a range of products for the mobile phone, the PC/laptop and office PBX technologies, thereby creating a single user interface and user experience across multiple devices and media types.

Instrumental to Telfree’s competitive advantage is the Group’s vision to utilise the burgeoning capabilities of the mobile phone to provide reliable, efficient communication. These handsets are used to create a mobile platform with the power to enable cost-effective voice communication, as well as a large array of related communication methods – all from the palm of a user’s hand. Key to this vision is Telfree's investment and partnership with the South African company, Yeigo Communications, an early pioneer in mobile application development.

Telfree’s ultimate goal is to create new opportunities to communicate, and to improve how the world communicates, by unifying different mediums across more platforms. Today, Telfree stands on the forefront of tomorrows’ global communication standard.
