According to Celtel’s Chief Marketing Officer, Norman Moyo, the commencement of GPRS (General Packet for Radio Services) roaming opens Celtel customers to new realm of opportunities and possibilities even while away from their offices and home.
Moreover the introduction of data roaming service via GPRS was made possible by the signing of agreement with several operators across the designated countries. “It fully complements our existing voice call roaming with more than 298 partners across the world,” Moyo said.
The introduction of the data roaming service will give customers of the company the opportunity to access or view and reply electronic mails (email), news and sports statistics on their phones while in the countries, Moyo added.
Also the service which is available to both prepaid and post paid customers of Celtel will enable subscribers on the network access to mobile Internet, gets and allow those who have MMS enabled phones compose and send messages with one or more multimedia parts while out of the country, Moyo further said.
”Data roaming will no doubt help our customers to keep abreast with both current trends and events in their corporate offices. With this service, Celtel customers will never be denied of important information while outside the country.”
The data roaming service shares similar features with voice roaming. While voice roaming enables customers to make and receive calls outside the geographical location of their parent network, data roaming allows customers full access to GPRS service.
