This comes on the back of this year’s Transform Africa Summit (TAS) that will take place in the country from 7th to 10th of this month, with over 4,000 delegates expected to attend.
It will now be easier and more affordable for subscribers to browse and read news on this year’s Transform Africa Summit (TAS) after the telecom firm slashed its out-of-bundle data costs to Rwf10 per MB. The telecom’s out-of-bundle data users previously parted with Rwf56.
Speaking about the new product, Phillip Amoateng, the Airtel Rwanda Managing Director said; “Internet is an essential part of our everyday life. As a user, one wants FAST and affordable internet so as to remain connected to loved ones, work efficiently and get updated with local and international news and events. This offer is designed to enable delegates who will be attending the summit to remain connected to their social and professional networks without worrying about data running out.”
Under the offers, subscribers will be able to purchase 30 Giga bytes (GB) of data at only Rwf 10,000 (about US$12) and will also be able to rent fully connected MiFi device for the same amount. This device can connect up to 10 users at a time.
In order to access the services, customers can simple dial *255*2# and go to internet packs, then select monthly packs or visit the Airtel stand at the summit or service centers.
On December 18, 2017, Bharti Airtel announced it had signed an agreement with Millicom International Cellular S.A to take over Tigo Rwanda operations, which is currently the second biggest telecom firm in the country by market share.
The Rwandan telecom sector was boosted by these news as the development is arguably the biggest in the telecom industry that has been dogged by slow growth levels over the past few years.
