Commenting on Flexiroam App value proposition to consumers, Flexiroam CEO, Mr Jef Ong, said “To illustrate how Flexiroam App would address the “Bill Shock” for travelers, it can be seen above that where it would ordinarily cost a user $3 per minute calling Malaysia from India; for $3 Flexiroam App users would be able to call for 150 minutes!”
The Flexiroam App has been optimised with encryption and voice compression technology to use only 8kbps for calls, which makes it ideal in low bandwidth environments prevalent in most developing nations in the Asia Pacific region.
The Company is capitalising on the new Flexiroam App to appeal to the over 2.6 billion smartphone users[1] worldwide, who are expected to generate about USD53.7 billion in revenue from off-net voice calls by 2017[2] . The Company expects this market to expand even further as unique smartphone users grows, reaching 5.9 billion in 2020[3] .
