New kid on the cellular block!

The BCF cellular branch at c/o Charles Street and Second Avenue (across the Waterfront), Bloemfontein.

As a new entrant into the cellphone market, BCFcellular is addressing a pressing need, namely that of providing cellphones to persons whose applications for contracts have been turned down, but who do not like the option of pay as you go either.

As such this constitutes an exciting new third option of obtaining a cellphone on an acceptable and affordable operational basis. As a matter of fact, the BCFcellular contract package offers the opportunity to prospective users to obtain two cellphones at once.

This unique option is the result of an innovative agreement between BCFcellular and Vodacom, whereby persons whose applications for contracts with cellphone companies have been declined, could, subject to specific criteria, qualify for a contract with BCFcellular.

The basic criteria to qualify with BCFcellular are that the applicant must dispose of fixed employment, have a bank account, his or her salary must be paid in electronically and the applicant must comply with certain affordability requirements.

Thus this unique credit facilitation can assist a person who is not in a position to be serviced elsewhere as far as the use of a cellphone is concerned. The reason why BCFcellular is able to offer this option, stems from the fact that the enterprise is an affiliate of BCF Micro Finance, an established company in business since 1995 and disposing of 28 branches throughout the Free State, North West, the Northern Cape and Gauteng and offering micro financing from R500 to R15 000.

Another notable strength of BCFcellular is that it offers Rica registration, not only for its customers, but also for anyone who needs to comply with this statutory requirement with deadline 30 November 2010.

BCFcellular has at present four branches, viz. at 99 Charles Street, Bloemfontein, at the Rocklands Centre, Mangaung Bloemfontein, at 21 Joubert Street, Ladybrand and at 31 DF Malan Street, Hartswater.

The opening of further branches shortly are in the pipeline.
