But they stated that they'll be riding on already existing Telecos.

They will only use existing network operators infrastructure, not networks.

That is, they will have their own software/network/system different from existing TSPs (MTN, Glo, Airtel etc).

They will only make use of their Mast etc. You see most mast u see are being used by all networks. No single TSP is solely using those mast u see around.

All of them are using the same mast to save cost (economy of scale) yet their network service differs

Voice and SMS using the Internet. It's called VOIP, Voice-over-Internet Protocol. So they will need you to have an existing Internet connection and download their telephone app to be able to make and receive calls and sms. This is all a big marketing ruse as there are other people who already provide the same service. Like stn.ng and Swift and a few others. It's not new tech and has been cheaply available since 1999 when a software called Asterisk was first made available.

Buy bulk from existing networks n still resell in the same market? I haven't really grasp it but thanks for taking time out to shed more light

That is their business... Buy bulk at negotiated price backed by NCC and resell.

Yes,it's voip. Which is more expensive per minute than using the regular telcos. They are screaming like this is a new innovation whereas it has been widely available in Naija from companies like rapidBTS and stn.ng. ahmedpbx your input is needed here

Well on face value it appears to be Nigerian owned so may be worth trying out. Up to now 9Mobile is the closest provider I could find to being Nigerian owned.

No. They are a virtual network operator. They need you to have Internet for their telephony and sms to work. It's still early days for this tech in Naija but it's where the world is headed to. Most businesses in the US use this VoIP tech. And I know all of this because I work (remote) for a US company that provides similar services.

The average VoIP call in Nigeria is around ₦7/minute. So no,their rates aren't going to be lower than MTN and Co. And they will not be selling SIMs either. They "may" offer data, but it will be mostly over WiFi or direct to home or office

In a simple language can this be explained

In simple language, you will need an Internet connection (from the likes of MTN and Co) to be able to use the phone and sms service. They will have an app that you can install on your phone to make and receive calls and text and voice mails. Their per minute pricing will be higher than the ₦4.00 that most telcos currently charge

Re: BTEL Becomes Nigeria’s Newest Entrant To Compete With MTN, Glo As Mobile Network by Timoleon(m): 5:13pm On Jun 14, 2023
I didn’t say they are on the same tier or did I? It’s clearly stated that they can sell their own sims and of course that comes with products and services

Bad summary. They are not on the same tier.
Re: BTEL Becomes Nigeria’s Newest Entrant To Compete With MTN, Glo As Mobile Network by Timoleon(m): 5:14pm On Jun 14, 2023
They’ll most likely have an arrangement with one of the pre existing networks
Benwallt:


What I don't understand is where they said BTEL will operate on MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile existing infrastructure. Does that mean they will be sharing masts?

Re: BTEL Becomes Nigeria’s Newest Entrant To Compete With MTN, Glo As Mobile Network by bigtt76(f): 5:14pm On Jun 14, 2023
MVNOs can't compete with mobile network operators rather they complement them by reselling the MNOs services. That's why they are mobile virtual network operators 😀

Good on. Naira has been floated. Another investor for nipost,palm oil, oil and natural gas. At least drive it to 4 million per day as stated in tinubu manifesto. These industries can create 1 million jobs and billions of dollars in revenue for jagaban govt. Also ajaokuta steel. That one alone is 600,000 jobs. 1.6- 2 million jobs. Simple arthemetics.

Just as mtn, airtel, glo and 9mobile operate communication networks in Nigeria, BTEL is joining the list. You will be able to own and use BTEL sims and access products and services that you would use on SIM cards.
