About Telecorp Limited
Telecorp Limited was established in February 2000 by high profile telecommunications and investment trio; Trevor Rowe, Chairman, Investment Banking , NM Rothschild & Sons, Australia; Vern Wills, Chairman of Enhance Management and CEO Steve Picton formerly Director of AAPT and head of Sales and Marketing for British Telecom Australia.
Following a growth by acquisition strategy, the company debuted at No. 262 in the prestigious BRW fastest growing Top 500 Private Companies list in August 2006. In the same month, the board voted to change the parent company name from Telecorp to gotalk limited to re-align the structure of the organisation and to bring clarity to the company strategy.
The gotalk group offers a variety of innovative telecommunication services. For its prepaid services it uses a unique Universal Recharge account available to customers to better manage and share their spend across a range of prepaid mobile, internet, broadband voice (VoIP) and phonecard services all from the one account. Its subsidiary cardcall is Australia’s leader in prepaid calling cards. The cards, Daybreak, Happy Calling, Say G'day, SuperSaver and OZcall to name a few, are sold in over 30,000 retailers and around 300,000 new phonecard services are activated each month.
For its postpaid services, gotalk provides Australia’s best value complete range of phone and internet services; line rental, local calls and long distance, dial up and broadband internet, mobile and VoIP.
gotalk’s range of wholesale and retail telecommunication services are delivered through its own state of the art exchange switching centre in Sydney's Castlereagh Street, which handles over a billion international minutes per year - this equates to 20% of all Australian outbound international call traffic.
gotalk CEO Steve Picton, who in July 2007 became Queensland’s Technology and Telecommunications Entrepreneur of the Year says “gotalk’s success relies on its commitment to provide low cost competitive rates backed up by exceptional quality customer service. As a relatively small player in a large market dominated by the likes of Telstra and Optus, I am extremely proud of the fact that although gotalk is a small fish in a big pond, it owns 20 percent market share of all international traffic originating from Australia. In the prepaid phone card market, gotalk is the market leader with approximately 40 percent of that segment”.
