Cell C will buy out phone contracts
Cell C is tackling the post-paid contract market by buying out new customers’ contracts with their existing telecommunications supplier.The company has spent the past two years stabilising the business and gaining critical mass in the prepaid subscriber space, and is now planning to extend the gains it has made into the contract space. Cell C currently has about 4 485 sites on air nationally and is aiming to increase this by about 1 300 this year. With the Cell C now operating nationwide, Vodacom now carries only about 8% of Cell C’s roaming voice traffic and 4% of its roaming data traffic.
