LAGOS - Zain has thrown wide open a fresh opportunity for residents of South East region of Nigeria to communicate with friends, family members and business associates with the introduction of fixed phones in the area.
Zain’s fixed phones will provide people in the region, especially students, rural dwellers, hospital attendants, and others, the chance to communicate particularly in places where access to telephone is restricted, irrespective of their level of income, age, status and location.
GSM Fixed Phones are wireless devices or terminals which make telecommunication services available any time without requiring human or control and the use of mobile handset.
Zain’s Chief Marketing Officer, Normal Moyo, said at the commissioning ceremony in Enugu at the weekend that the service would help to eliminate barriers to communication such as high cost of handset (phones) and restriction in access to phones in certain areas.
The company’s Fixed Phones will provide affordable telecommunication services nationwide round the clock when the deployment is complete and will empower many more Nigerians especially those who cannot afford handset or cannot make calls because of current barriers such as lack of access to phone service or coverage problem and restriction in the use of phones, Moyo explained.
The deployment of Fixed Phones by Zain in the region will cover six States, including Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo, Abia and Cross Rivers States. These States are categorized as South East Region under Zain network’s geographical coverage classification.
