AIRTEL LAUNCHES 2 NEW PRODUCTS

Airtel is launching two new products this month, the company’s CEO Amadou Dina announced at a press conference last week.

The first is an APP that can be downloaded from play store on a smart phone by Airtel customers, which will allow them to re-charge their data and check cash balance in their account and also pay their telephone bills and all other utility bills. This APPwill also allow customers to transfer money to another Airtel money account. Anyone with a pre-paid Airtel service who downloads the APP from 1ST August will get 1GB complimentary.

‘Airtel Akote’ is the second product being introduced by the telecommunication company. This is designed to help Airtel’s customers earn some extra cash during the pandemic if they so wish. It involves the selling of pre-charged airtime on their phone to other pre-paid Airtel customers for a 5% extra airtime as commission. During the press conference the CEO highlighted the fact that the company has also lost more than 30% of its business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Airtel have not shied away from making its contributions to help with the fight against the COVID-19.
