Mobile Service demands

Fynn added that the launch of 3.5G formed part of Tigo’s social contribution to the national push to increase Internet penetration across all segments of society. “For us at Tigo, the faster data speed of 3.5G means access to unlimited library resource for our students, quicker access to market information for our business,” says Fynn.
Fynn said with the launch of the mobile number portability, Tigo had positioned itself to become the preferred brand for subscribers looking for the highest quality mobile services.
