Starcomms Plc has become the first Code Division Multiple Access operator in the world to provide its customers the opportunity of enjoying international roaming.
This, according to the telecoms company on Friday, became possible as a result of the agreement signed with two roaming service providers, Mach and Accuris networks in March, 2010.
With the agreement, pre-paid inter-standard roaming calls can be made to a GSM network by Starcomms CDMA customer.
According to the Chief Executive Officer, Starcomms, Mr. Maher Qubain, the over 3.2 million customers of the company now have the rare opportunity of a seamless access to international mobile roaming on all wireless technology networks.
He said this would greatly expand Starcomms network coverage outside Nigeria and simplify the roaming experience of such customers, who might have reasons to travel outside the country..
He said, ”The commitment of Starcomms to providing innovative products and services that simplify lives and enhance living for our customers is a tradition we hold dear. We know that many customers yearn for the high quality services of Starcomms everywhere they go. So, the pioneering step of adding inter-standard roaming capabilities to our portfolio as a CDMA network in this country is just an added evidence of our practice of always being the first to give customers the best.”
The solution, which can be implemented by using existing connections, offers end-users all of the services that are available on their home network, eve
