Trilogy Dominicana, S.A., a leading mobile communications provider in Dominican Republic, providing service under the brand name VIVA, and MoreMagic Solutions, a leading mobile payments platform provider, announced today that MoreMagic Solutions is now offering international recharge for mobile phone customers using the MoreMagic Solutions worldwide distribution network. The electronic recharge service enables friends and family living in other countries to recharge or TopUp, the mobile phones of VIVA customers. At any retail location in the MoreMagic Solutions distribution network, a store owner performs the transaction using a mobile handset, POS device, or web interface, and the mobile customer is immediately credited. International recharges are also available through the MoreMagic Solutions website, www.etopuponline.com.
Since the VIVA GSM network went live in the Dominican Republic in April 2008, the take up has been remarkable. With MoreMagic Solutions MTopUp, VIVA dealers no longer need to manage scratch card inventory, and can distribute airtime more quickly throughout the country, ensuring a better reach, particularly in rural areas. These capabilities are now expanded beyond country borders, to friends and family, living abroad.
“In the Dominican Republic, our customers and dealers are finding it easy to TopUp phones with increasing frequency, and business has expanded dramatically with the MoreMagic MTopUp solution,” said Jean Carlo Sandy, General Manager of Trilogy Dominicana. “With international recharge, and MoreMagic Solutions distribution, we have the ability to bring the VIVA brand to numerous markets around the world where Dominicans reside.”
“By offering international recharge for mobile customers and expanding the dealer network beyond country borders, Trilogy Dominicana is demonstrating its leadership in bringing technology advances to previously underserved markets,” said Pankaj Gulati, chairman and CEO, MoreMagic Solutions. “MoreMagic Solutions is pleased to offer the premier platform for payment services to support new services for mobile consumers in Dominican Republic, and around the world.”
