USP Initiatives

Smart Devices with Internet Packages

Through this initiative, selected smart devices were offered to eligible users at a lower price than the recommended retail price, along with free internet subscription for a year. This initiative was targeted at rural areas and low-income groups with the objective of encouraging these target groups to upgrade their existing mobile devices to smart devices so they could use the internet and mobile applications in their daily lives.
