15 years in business · September 2025
Euphoria Telecom turns 15 — a Camps Bay celebration with Darren “Whackhead” Simpson.
Fifteen years in, Euphoria Telecom celebrated the milestone at the Victoria Cocktail Lounge in Camps Bay, Cape Town. South African broadcaster Darren "Whackhead" Simpson co-hosted the evening, running prank calls from a custom-built booth powered by Miles — our brand mascot, a fully working business phone on wheels. The night also marked the launch of our No Bull Prize, the R100,000 award for South African businesses that put customers first.
"What a successful evening. Thank you for having me here, and what a great idea!" — Darren 'Whackhead' Simpson

Miles isn't just an office phone on wheels — he's the star of our "Set Your Office Phone Free" campaign. We built our mascot Miles over two years ago to demonstrate that with Euphoria Telecom's industry-leading app your team can make and receive calls from their office extensions from just about anywhere, including when they travel overseas, for less than standard mobile rates.
