MTN launches Shesh@5G sim delivery service
Telecommunications group MTN South Africa has launched a pilot delivery service for its Shesh@5G Sim cards and Home Internet connectivity packages to selected areas in Johannesburg.
The new Shesh@5G Motor Bike Sim Delivery Service offers delivery, by scooter, within two hours of ordering through MTN’s digital platforms, with customers able to self-RICA using the new MTN app.
Once activated, customers are online and connected within minutes.
“This is another ambition to bring seamless 5G Home connectivity to customers. As South Africa’s best and strong 5G network, we are focused on ensuring that our Home customers enjoy the best possible experience with the country’s most reliable and fastest 5G coverage,” said MTN South Africa online and telesales GM Tania Ladopoulou.
The pilot, which is currently rolling out in select areas of Johannesburg, is designed to bring lightning-fast access to mobile and home internet connectivity, making digital inclusion faster and easier than ever before.
“No more waiting 24 to 48 hours for delivery. No more standing in queues. With this new service, we are putting our customers first by delivering convenience, speed and connection right to their doorstep.”
However, the new service is not only about faster service, it is about inclusion, said Ladopoulou.
“We believe that everyone deserves a modern connected life, and they should not have to wait for it.”
Following the success of the Johannesburg rollout, MTN plans to scale the service nationwide.
This initiative follows the recently announced Africa’s first Smartphone For All initiative where over 1.2-million customers will receive 4G smartphones just for R99.
