Mobile Telecommunications Limited (MTC) on Friday launched a new product line called ‘Taamba’ under which three new data sharing services will be offered.
The data sharing services are Taamba gifting, Taamba advance and Taamba transfer.
MTC’s Chief of Human Capital and Corporate Affairs, Tim Ekandjo in a media statement availed to Nampa on Monday said the development of this new product follows years of research and development, informed by market research and service keenness from the market looking for products that will offer convenience and transform the mobile data market.
He said the customer is at the core of MTC’s everyday business practices and these innovative solutions will transform the mobile data market to the benefit of the consumer.
“We are always listening to our customers and constantly thinking of innovative ways to satisfactorily attend to their demand,” Ekandjo was quoted as saying.
Taamba gifting allows subscribers to buy data bundles for someone else directly from their available credit, whilst Taamba advance is an airtime advance service that a customer can pre-select to request an amount of airtime when your balance is zero, and then pay it back the next time you recharge.
Taamba transfer is similar to airtime transfer and allows a subscriber to transfer a chunk of data from their available data to any MTC customer.
On his part, MTC’s Chief Commercial Officer, Melvin Angula noted that product designs are always tailored to answer customers’ needs and the only way to do that is by listening and understanding what the market wants.
“To gift one with data is quite simple, all you have to do is dial *682# and follow the simple instructions or alternatively call our 24-hour contact centre for assistance,” he said.
