• New customer in Western Africa
• VAS suite expansion in Guinea Conakry
• Delivery for new Mobile Operator Group completed
Seamless continues to consolidate business in Africa by deploying widespread
Prepaid e-Top Up and competitive Value Added Services (VAS) to prominent mobile
operators. The ERS 360º is an important tool for fast growing mobile operators
to reach new customers with lower and lower income in more and more rural
areas.
The new customer in Western Africa operates in a country that deployed GSM
networks in 2007. Investments are heavy as this operator seeks leadership in
the virgin market through extensive distribution of Prepaid e-Top Up.
The customer in Guinea Conakry entered the new market as greenfield operator.
They deployed the ERS 360° for Prepaid e-Top Up and VAS a year ago. Now they
are expanding the system by launching a new VAS called Bonus-on-Incoming-Calls.
This will allow their subscribers to earn bonus airtime for incoming calls and
use it for making outgoing calls.
In September Seamless announced the order from a new large Mobile Operator
Group. The delivery is now completed and the customer has commercially launched
the Prepaid e-Top Up services. The name of this Group will be announced as soon
as formal approval is received.
The Johannesburg office of Seamless is highly pleased with the growth
experienced in the Sub-Sahara African region.
“The excellent combination of feature expansions by existing customers and
gaining new customers make me feel very optimistic for 2009” says Viwe
Ndzamela, Regional Sales Director of Seamless. “I believe that the ERS 360º in
general and our VAS suite in particular will create buzz all over Africa. This
will further pave way for our Mobile Wallet solution The Mollet™”.
