FaktorTel Pty Ltd. is an Australian-based communications company that uses its VoIP network to deliver phone service to business and wholesale customers. FaktorTel is a wholly owned subsidiary of Over the Wire Holdings Limited (ASX:OTW), and operates a purpose built VOIP network spanning Australia and New Zealand.
FaktorTel was founded in Queensland, Australia in April 2004 by Christopher and Allan Cowling and received an Australian government grant[1] for providing VoIP throughout Regional and Rural Australia.
In December 2015 FaktorTel was acquired by the public company Over the Wire Holdings Ltd and now operates under the Over the Wire umbrella of companies, (ASX:OTW).[citation needed]
