Celtel extends One Network to six additional countriesMobile operator Celtel International, part of the Zain group, has extended its ‘One Network’, the borderless mobile network in Africa, to an additional six countries. These are Burkina Faso, Chad, Malawi, Niger, Nigeria and Sudan. These countries now join the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda in the network which was initially launched in September 2006. All Celtel’s customers both prepaid and postpaid in the twelve countries from East, Central and West Africa, can move freely across geographic borders making calls and sms at local rates. They can top-up their prepaid phones with locally-bought airtime cards. The One Network service is automatically activated upon crossing into any one of the other countries, with no prior registration required or sign up fee charged.
