Mobile operator Cell C has extended its international roaming partnerships to 287 operators worldwide, meaning that customers can now remain connected in 138 countries around the globe.
The company says it has signed numerous bilateral commercial international roaming partnerships with a number of key global operators that cover most of the popular holiday and business destinations.
"Cell C`s extensive international roaming footprint will strengthen our market position as a competitive service provider and help us to deliver further value to those customers who regularly travel abroad," says Jim Courtney, the company`s chief commercial officer.
Courtney says that among the destinations where Cell C now has roaming agreements are the Caribbean islands, which will stand cricket fans in good stead during the 2007 Cricket World Cup, which will be hosted in the West Indies.
The signing of these agreements comes hot on the heels of the news that Cell C has signed up more than 500 000 postpaid clients, out of its total of 2.5 million customers.
Cell C subscribers can find out which countries are involved in the roaming agreements at the organisation`s Web site.
