About Us

MzansiSMS is about bringing the lowest-cost SMS messaging rates in the country to the people who need them most. MzansiSMS changes the poignant dynamic where the poorest in the country are paying the highest rates for SMS messaging and finally provides access to cheaper services for the less privileged.

The MzansiSMS service is delivered via a small, easily downloadable application for mobile phones, accessible on most mobile devices with colour screens in South Africa. MzansiSMS can bring down the cost per SMS to less than a cent - truly democratizing the use of the mobile phone.

MzansiSMS is brought to you by the TelFree Group. TelFree pursues with great pride its role, as an alternative telecommunications provider, to bring down the cost of communication and empower the less advantaged with its pioneering, world-first solution - MzansiSMS.
