MTN
introduces low rate calls
Accra, June 20, GNA– Mobile Telecommunications Network (MTN)
Ghana, has announced the launch of a new Innovative service
named MTN Zone.
The service, which runs on the per second billing plan,
gives its Pay As You Go subscribers the opportunity to enjoy
up to 100% discount day and night on calls they make to
other MTN Ghana subscribers.
A statement issued in Accra said MTN Zone subscribers have a
flat tariff on all MTN to MTN calls when they register and
subsequently receive messages that display dynamic discounts
they enjoy at any point in time.
“In order to enjoy the benefits of MTN Zone, existing and
new MTN prepaid customers simply need to register for the
service by entering *135*1# and pressing the send or ok
button on their handset. Alternatively, they could send 1 to
SMS short code 135,” the statement said.
It said registration onto MTN Zone service was currently
free of charge.
The statement said subscribers also needed to enter *135*4#
and press the send or ok key to activate the cell broadcast
functionality on their handsets.
It said the cell broadcast feature when enabled, gave MTN
customers the opportunity to see the dynamic percentage
discount they would enjoy when they initiate a call at that
time and the discount would be applicable throughout the
duration of the call.
“This process is unique for each handset module,” the
statement noted.
The statement urged customers who wanted further information
on the service to call the MTN Customer Service toll free
number 111.
The statement quoted Mr George Kojo Andah, Chief Marketing
Officer of MTN Ghana as saying that “we are excited at what
the team here at MTN Ghana has been able to provide after
thorough research and development.”
He said this new service empowered MTN customers with more,
choice and control over their cost of making calls, adding
that the excitement the service had generated within one
week was unparalleled in the industry in Ghana.
“As usual we will lead the market in innovation and others
can follow”, Mr. Andah said.
Mr Andah said MTN regard its subscribers and their
satisfaction as the key reasons for doing business and
therefore the company kept on exciting subscribers with
innovative products, services and value added packages.
He noted that MTN Zone was only one of the solutions MTN
would be delivering to its subscribers in Ghana, saying that
since last year MTN subscribers in Ghana were able to call
other MTN subscribers within West and Central Africa at the
local rate.
“Now we have made it even more exciting by enabling them to
call the USA and Canada still at the local rate,” Mr Andah
added.
