Suntel brings Cardless Reload through Cargills
Suntel, which recently tied up with Cargills Food City to provide
Suntel customers the convenience of paying their bills and purchasing
Chat cards at any Cargills Food City, has extended its reach through a
card-less reload system for Chat prepaid customers.
This partnership sealed in 2007 with both brands sharing a customer
centric focus, has proven a commendable venture with increasing demand
for services at convenience.
The Suntel card-less reload system will be active from the 1st of
April 2008 and will enable customers to reload their Suntel pre-paid
phones with denominations ranging from Rs. 100/- to Rs. 2000/-.
Once a customer pays for a reload at a Cargills outlet, the requested
credit will be loaded to that particular Suntel phone within a matter of
minutes. Subsequently an SMS would be generated to inform the user of
the reload.
The concept behind this strategic tie up between the two corporate
trendsetters was to bring the idea of 'On Your Way Home', popularised by
Sri Lanka's largest retail channel - Cargills Food City, to the products
and services marketed by Sri Lanka's leading communications service
provider - Suntel.
As a result of this partnership starting November 2007, Suntel
customers have been able to visit Cargills outlets islandwide to settle
their Suntel phone bills as well as purchase Chat prepaid cards.
Suntel is a joint venture company that brings together the resources
and expertise of Swedish telecom giant Overseas Telecom AB, Metrocorp
Townsend Limited of Hong Kong, the National Development Bank, and the
International Finance Corporation (IFC) - a member of the World Bank
Group.
The combination of technical and operational expertise evident in
Suntel, supported by a sound financial base, has helped create a
company, which is committed to being Sri Lanka's preferred
telecommunication service provider, through service excellence and
cost-effective delivery. |
