Why you need airtime and internet on PressOne

Have you ever wondered why you need airtime, internet, and a subscription to make calls with PressOne? Today, we’re breaking it down in the simplest way possible.
Unlike regular SIM card numbers, PressOne uses both the internet and airtime. Think of it like this: For WhatsApp calls, both the caller and receiver need internet and the app but for regular calls, only the person calling needs airtime.
Here's how PressOne works:
  • You need the internet to make calls, but the person you're calling doesn’t need internet or the PressOne app to answer.
  • We partner with other telecom companies to give you a real business phone number.
  • When you make a call, PressOne sends it through the internet first, but to connect to regular phone networks like Airtel or MTN, it uses airtime—just like a normal call.
  • Your subscription gives you access to all these tools, like a professional welcome greeting and call tracking—things a regular SIM card can’t do!


Conclusion: Why You Need Airtime, Internet, and a Subscription

 Internet → Powers your call and enables PressOne features. Airtime → Connects your call to standard phone networks. Subscription → Gives you access to professional business tools.
By keeping all three in check, you shouldn't have to worry about dropped or missed calls again. If you're still having trouble or have more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out us—we’re always happy to help!
