About the company
At Talk360, we believe that everyone in the world should be able to connect
to friends and family. That’s why we have built a localized, easy-to-use, and
reliable product for underserviced communities.
Talk360 is the leading Voice app allowing affordable and reliable
international calls to any offline landline or mobile phone in the world. As
the call receiver does not need internet, the Talk360 app, or a smartphone,
this solution was able to connect 2.4 million people in 2022, no matter
where they were located or whether they had internet access.
Over 41% of the world doesn’t have a reliable internet connection. The most
heavily hit by this are underserviced communities in Africa. We solve this
issue by offering the ability to call any online or offline number.
Underserviced communities have no access to online banking or credit
cards, as payment culture is diverse and scattered with cash and different
wallets & cards. That’s why Talk360 supports over 60 supported payment
systems, 40 currencies, and 1.25 million cash points of sale in emerging
countries.
Talk360 is a purpose-driven scaleup that was founded in 2016 by Hans
Osnabrugge, Dean Hiine, and Jorne Schamp. In 2021, Talk360 was selected
for the Rise Programme by Techleap.nl as a leader in offering connectivity
solutions for underserviced communities.
Operating in The Netherlands and South Africa,, Talk360 is dedicated to
connecting lives and bridging distance by offering reliable calling quality
through a simple app that accommodates one essential need: connection.
Talk360: Connecting lives. Bridging distance.

Would you like to make a positive impact on people’s lives? Do you want to

introduce new technologies, tooling, or features? If the answer is yes,
Talk360 is the right place for you!
The Project:
We believe that everyone should be connected globally. But over 41% of the
world does not have Internet and the most heavily hit are underserviced
communities in developing countries. That’s why we have built a localized,
easy-to-use, and reliable product for underserviced communities. Talk360 is
the leading VoIP app allowing affordable and reliable international calls to
any offline landline or mobile phone in the world. As the call receiver does
not need internet, the Talk360 app, or a smartphone, this solution was able
to connect 2.3 million people in 2022, no matter where they were located or
whether they had internet access. Our calling app has over 200’000 users
globally and is available in over 190 countries.
The team:
The current app team consists of 1 iOS developer & tech lead and Android
developer, and we are looking to supplement the team with another Android
developer. You will work closely with your team as well as the product team,
and you can either do this remotely or hybrid in one of our offices in
Amsterdam or Johannesburg.
Your Impact:
Read some of our customer reviews so you get an idea:
1) I like Talk360 because it saves me a lot of money. I used to call from
Zimbabwe for 15 rands a minute. Talk 360 came to the rescue. Now I can
call my mother for hours. Thank you Talk360.
2) I enjoy Talk360 because it is very affordable. I am South African but now
live in Congo. I can now call my family every day. Thank you Talk360 for you
guys is the most affordable calling app.
3) I am from Albania and currently living in Egypt and realized that apps like
Whatsapp and Skype don't work here. Also, people I want to call here don't
use smartphones. The calling rates in Albania are very high, compared to
other European countries. Talk360 app has helped me tremendously by
being able to affordably connect with my family
and friends and make
important phone calls. Thumbs up for Talk360!
