AKTEL, Wintel to start countrywide phone booth service
AKTEL and Wintel Ltd will soon launch the first-ever GSM-based mobile phone booth service across the country to ensure telecoms services at convenient public locations for those who do not have access to mobile or fixed phones. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) to this effect was signed recently by the two companies in Dhaka, says a press release. Managing Director of AKTEL Md Nasir Bin Baharom and Managing Director of Wintel Ltd Faisal Alim signed the MoU deal on behalf of their companies. Under the MoU, Wintel will install phone booths at different locations while AKTEL will power those booths. 'Chip Cards' of different denominations starting from Tk 300 will be made available in the market. Users will be able to make both mobile-to-mobile and mobile to land phone calls, including NWD and ISD, from the booths by using the chip cards, the release added.
