Go Mobile
Mobilize your brand name and expose your customer to the ultimate mobile experience with one-on-one interactivity, mobile commerce, advertising and content distribution. Elephant Talk offers a wide variety of mobile solutions to dazzle and retain your B2B and B2C customers.
Launching a mobile brand is attractive to most organizations since the MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) business model is an opportunity to increase revenues without having to establish or maintain a network. A MVNO operating on the Elephant Talk platform merely concentrates on sales and marketing of mobile solutions, Elephant Talk coordinates the rest.
Why launch a MVNO?
Consumers associate themselves with a certain brand, a lifestyle or participate within a community around a brand. A MVNO creates opportunities to connect to communities surrounding a brand and the brand with its community. M-Commerce (Mobile Commerce), L-Commerce (Location Based Services Commerce) and FMG (Fixed Mobile Convergence) create endless solutions to satisfy and retain customers and boost sales and the loyalty towards a brand.
Characteristics of successful niche operators:
 |
unique content, transferable brand and / or subscriber interaction, |
|
|
strong embedded customer base and stable, solid core identity, |
|
|
subscribers or interactions that are highly “3rd Screen” fluent, less than typical price elasticity, and |
|
|
existing financial relationships that have or can easily migrate to the web. | |

Elephant Talk as an MVNE in Today’s Market Environment
Advanced mobile technology has not only made it possible for fixed line carriers to become a MVNO, but it has also enabled MNO’s to enter new markets as a MVNO. More importantly, a MVNO status adds an entire new dimension to companies that have a core business other than telecommunication.
Advertising via mobile devices allows global brands to tailor their marketing efforts to exactly defined target markets. Interaction with consumers over the mobile device is a highly effective and cost efficient way of marketing and opens new opportunities and revenues streams within e.g. the entertainment, consumer goods as well as financial industry.
MNO’s services are geared towards the mass market and are generally not equipped to meet the niche demands of the growing number of MVNO’s. In the new generation MVNO business model, the MVNE acts as the intermediary and bridges the gap between the MNO and the MVNO.
Most MVNE’s offer billing and rating solutions but do not differentiate themselves as Elephant Talk Communications with a MVNE license and an international fixed network to distribute traffic over its own switches, an all-in-one mobile service platform and value added solutions.
