Is Othos really based in Cape Town?
Yes. Othos Telecom is headquartered in Cape Town. When you contact our support team, you reach our local Cape Town-based staff — not an overseas call centre or a ticketing system. We're ICASA licensed, running on AWS infrastructure, and have been operating in the South African market for years.
How long does setup take for a Cape Town business?
Your Cloud PBX is typically configured and live within one business day. Our team handles the full setup — extensions, ring groups, IVR menus, time conditions and voicemail. If you're porting a number from Telkom, that process runs in parallel and usually completes within 5–10 business days, during which your existing number continues to work normally.
How much does it cost compared to a Telkom business line?
Most Cape Town businesses switching from Telkom save 40–60% on their monthly phone costs. You eliminate line rental, reduce per-minute call rates significantly, and pay a single predictable monthly fee per user that includes all features — no hidden extras, no per-feature charges. Othos pricing starts from R149 per month.
Does the system work if my Cape Town office internet goes down?
Yes. Because Othos is cloud-based with no hardware at your premises, your phone system is unaffected by local internet or power issues. Your team can continue taking and making calls on the Othos mobile app over 4G or 5G mobile data. You can also configure automatic failover routing so calls always reach someone from your team.
Can I get a new 021 Cape Town number if I don't have one yet?
Yes. Othos can provision a new 021 geographic number for your Cape Town business within minutes of signup. You can also choose a non-geographic 010 or 087 number if you prefer, or have multiple numbers — one per department, one per location — all routing through the same Cloud PBX.
Do you offer hosted PBX / PABX in Cape Town?
Yes. Othos is a Cape Town–based hosted PBX and PABX provider. We replace your on-site PABX with a cloud PBX on AWS — you keep your 021 number, drop the hardware, and manage everything online. Same call features a traditional Cape Town PABX gives you, without the Telkom line or the upkeep.
