Luanda - Customers of Africell, a company that on Thursday officially launched operations as the fourth mobile phone company in Angola, have an open line to communicate free of charge, said its Chief Executive Officer, Gonçalo Faria.
Speaking at the formal ceremony to launch operations, Chief Executive Officer, Faria said that over the next few weeks around 120 distributors, including shops and mobile points, would be available for people to buy phones, Sim cards, amongst other equipment and services at affordable prices, such as the data balance, which is up to 50 percent of what is currently available on the market, where 1GB is equal to Kz 1500.
The CEO explained that the company's accelerated expansion depends on the system of infrastructure sharing with other operators, as it is a process that optimises costs and guarantees service quality, which is why it has done so with public and private companies such as Movicel, EPAL, ENSA, amongst others.
"The company's expansion plan was designed with several phases that it aims to anticipate, if possible, and currently work is underway in Benguela and Lobito, and to launch the network in Huíla (Lubango) and some prospecting in Cabinda, until July, he said, adding that Huambo would only be reached at the end of 2022.
