ZOOMMOBILE?

ZOOMmobile, one of Nigeria’s foremost telecommunications solutions providers, has rolled out its national voice, data and other value-added services in Kano, the company said on Thursday.

The Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness Alhaji Ado Bayero, while receiving the Management team of ZOOMmobile at his palace, as part of activities marking the launch, lauded the company for pioneering tariff reduction in the industry, and continuously striving to make telecommunications services affordable to all, irrespective of social or economic class.

The emir further urged the company to ensure that residents of Kano enjoyed world class services on its network, and pledged his continued support and encouragement to the company.

Earlier in his speech, the Group Managing Director of ZOOMmobile, Mr. Tony Okonkwo, said that his team was in the palace to pay homage to the monarch and seek his royal blessing for a mutually beneficial business relationship with the good people of Kano.

Okonkwo stated that ZOOMmobile was in Kano to alter the telecommunications landscape for good, by providing a robust, fast, stable, effective and affordable network that empowered people to excel in all of their aspirations and endeavors.

In keeping with its corporate social investment strategy of empowering enterprising Nigerians to own their own businesses, the company donated 50 telephone handsets and recharge cards to the Emir, for distribution to some of his subjects, as a way of helping in the fight to alleviate poverty in the country.

It will be recalled that ZOOMmobile re-branded recently, dropping its former name (Reltelwireless), and launching the unique 0707 range of numbers, making it the first CDMA operator to acquire a four-digit number prefix.

The company has also maintained leadership of the CDMA segment of the market by having the widest coverage and subscriber base. ZOOMmobile currently covers 20 states in Nigeria, including the Federal Capital Territory, and has a subscriber base of more than 1.5million.

ZOOMmobile was recently voted the “CDMA Company of the Year 2008” and the “Most Improved Telephone Company of the Year 2008 at the Nigeria Telecoms Award.

All these companies are fighting for the soul of Nigeria's telecomm business, we hope Nitel will wake up and give some little challenge.
