MTC makes going back to school exciting

Windhoek, 18 Jan 2011

Hot on the heels of the recent Christmas promotion that had the whole country going wild with excitement, the company has yet again lined up another exclusive offer, namely the Nokia 2220s Back to School special.

The Nokia 2220s, which comes with GPRS technology, vibration, MP3 ringtones, speakerphone radio and camera, is an affordable, user friendly and versatile mobile phone that will appeal to young and old alike.

Available at the MTC Mobile Homes as from Monday, 17 January, the Nokia 2220s will retail for N$399. It includes an MTC Starter Pack with preloaded N$5 airtime and a voucher with N$200 Free Money. Although the N$200 voucher can only be used for MTC-to-MTC calls, it can be loaded onto any other MTC prepaid card.

MTC's Chief Human Capital and Corporate Affairs Officer, Tim Ekandjo, said his company's goal is and has always been to provide its loyal customers with the most affordable products without sacrificing quality and reliability.

“The Nokia 2220s is a very exciting and reliable handset, and we are quite confident that its reception by the market will be very warm just like the many other products we have been offering over the years. In the end, the real cost of the Nokia 2220s will be N$199 and that's a giveaway in anyone's language,” said Ekandjo.

The Back to School promotion is valid while stock lasts.
