Ethio-telecom completes most of network expansion projects

Addis Ababa, January 28, 2016 (FBC) – Ethio-telecom said it has finalized most of the network expansion projects underway in various parts across the country to offer quality service to the community.
The company has been implementing short and long range plans to address problems with network quality.

“Most of the expansion project has been completed and began rendering service,” Abdurahim Ahmed, Corporate Communication Directorate Director at Ethio-telecom told FBC today.

Besides, due attention has been given for fixed phone line to reduce the load on mobile phone networks.

In order to increase the fixed-line access, the company charges only 41 birr a month for local fixed to fixed line calls in addition to providing a handset for free, according to the director.

The company also allows clients to enjoy a-1800 minutes call with a monthly fee of 44 birr by offering wireless handset phone for free. Registration and service fee has also been canceled, he said.

Activities are underway to put in place a modern system which allows clients to pay service fee without coming to Ethio-telecom offices, he added.

Abdurahim finally said the company will continue executing network improvement projects to offer quality service to clients.
