The license, valid for five years and renewable in five-year terms, authorizes Voiso to establish, maintain, and operate telecommunications systems for the provision of postpaid and prepaid IP telephony services using Singapore’s Series “3” numbers. The approval also permits the company to issue prepaid cards and collect deposits for services offered in Singapore.
Key Takeaways
- Voiso has been granted a Services-Based Operations License by Singapore’s IMDA, enabling it to provide IP telephony services using Series “3” numbers, as well as offer prepaid and postpaid voice services in the country.
- This license affirms Voiso’s compliance with Singapore’s strict regulatory standards, enhancing customer trust, service reliability, and data security within a licensed framework.
- With Singapore as a strategic APAC hub, Voiso is now positioned to support regional and global enterprises with scalable, compliant, and locally authorized voice infrastructure.
A Significant Step for the Singapore Market
The IMDA serves as Singapore’s national regulator for the information, communications, and media sectors, overseeing all telecommunications operators in the country. Its licensing framework ensures that companies providing telecom services meet rigorous standards of compliance, technical performance, and data security.
By granting Voiso this license, IMDA has confirmed the company’s ability to deliver telecommunications services that align with Singapore’s regulatory requirements. For businesses, this represents an assurance that services are both legally recognised and backed by the safeguards of a national authority.
The Importance of Licensed IP Telephony
IP telephony allows enterprises to route voice calls over the internet, lowering costs and enabling greater flexibility compared to traditional telephony. Through the allocation of Series “3” numbers, enterprises in Singapore can establish a local identity while connecting seamlessly with global customers.
This capability is particularly important for organizations in industries such as financial services, technology, e-commerce, and customer support—sectors where both regulatory compliance and customer trust are paramount. Licensed IP telephony gives these businesses the ability to scale communications confidently within a regulated environment.
Singapore as a Strategic Hub
As one of Asia’s leading financial and technology centers, Singapore plays a central role in regional and global business. Enterprises often view the city-state as a launchpad for expansion across the Asia-Pacific region.
By securing its license, Voiso strengthens its ability to serve both Singapore-based companies and multinational organisations that require local telecommunications infrastructure as part of their APAC operations. The license not only expands service availability but also enhances the reliability and stability of Voiso’s regional presence.
What Customers Can Expect
The licensing framework establishes strict obligations on providers, which translate into tangible benefits for enterprises:
- Service quality and transparency: All charges, terms, and conditions must be published clearly, ensuring accountability and visibility for customers.
- Security and confidentiality: The license requires strong cybersecurity protections, safeguarding subscriber data and ensuring resilience against cyber threats.
- Fair competition: Provisions against undue preference and anti-competitive arrangements guarantee a level playing field that benefits enterprises and consumers alike.
- Flexible models: Both prepaid and postpaid services are supported, allowing organisations to select communication structures that best suit their budgets and growth strategies.
Looking Ahead
The granting of this Services-Based Operations Licence represents a milestone in Voiso’s long-term growth strategy. It provides a secure regulatory foundation for the company’s operations in Singapore and sets the stage for expanded engagement across Asia-Pacific.
With Singapore now formally licensed, enterprises in the market can rely on Voiso as a stable, compliant, and forward-looking partner for their communications needs. The license underscores a vision of supporting businesses with modern, scalable solutions that combine global reach with local credibility.
