Tigo
Tanzania has
launched a new service dubbed 'Tigo time', offering discounts up to 100 percent
on calls depending on the subscriber's geographic location or the time of day.
To enjoy the discounts, subscribers pay a subscription fee of TZS 149 for the
service.
To register for
the service customers dial *149*90# or send the words TIGO TIME to 15372, after
which they receive a confirmation message. For each call they make, Tigo time
will notify them of the applicable discount in their current location and for
that time of the day.
The
offer is similar to the MTN Zone pricing scheme offered by rival MTN throughout
Africa, which gives customers lower calling rates when there is little traffic
in the cell site and higher call prices as congestion increases.
