Zamtel Corporate Affairs director Amon Jere

ZAMTEL has introduced mobile internet to add to its growing product portfolio list.

The product provides an affordable access to all social media platforms as well as instant chat applications including Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk and MSN Messenger.

Zamtel chief commercial officer Amon Jere, said the company is in a hurry to make a positive mark on the telecommunication sector in Zambia by introducing a full cycle of communication solutions aimed at meeting customer needs.

“We are moving fast to ensure we provide a full cycle of communication solutions aimed at meeting customer needs,” Mr Jere said.

We would like our valued customers to enjoy browsing, explore and connect with family and friends using the most affordable mobile internet connection in Zambia he added.

Mr Jere said this in a statement released by communications manager Kennedy Mambwe in Lusaka yesterday.

And Mr Jere said the firm has also paired the launch of its mobile Internet with the introduction of an internet-enabled dual sim Hauwei G3511 for K150,000 with K5,000 airtime to use on net.

The internet-enabled dual simHauwei G3511 comes with expandable memory, FM radio and MP3 capability.

“When a customer purchases the Huawei G3511 for only K150,000, they get free Internet browsing for 30 days. Included in this offer is K5,000 for on-net calls,” he said.

Mr Jere said mobile internet charges will only apply after the promotion has ended.

Ba Zamtel, your mobile internet will be a disastor. At the moment you are failing to attend to land line faults; what about internet. Ok if what I am writing is not correct, then dial my office number +260212228013.

I have used many variables to reach this conclusion. Should Mugara lose, as a democrat I will salute him and his party with dignity, but then will retire from blog politics and my business. Instead, will enter active politics which has never been on my calendar beyond blogging during free times. But I vow MMD victory in Kasama is undebatable.Name: Senior Citizen | Country of residence: Zambia | Written: Friday, 16 October 2009 (15:39)

At last eish but Zamtel despite having all the gateway whatever you failed to provide mobile internet. Hope you bring more innovations that’s the beauty of private ownership.

Does ZAMTEL run this LUSAKATIMES? Why are you blocking my comments?

Could this ZAMTEL chief commercial officer Amon Jere tell us about the poor quality and services that has befallen ZAMTEL now, and how he is going to improve these services?

Before Zamtel introduces mobile internet, it should improve the bad INTERNATIONAL PHONE CONNECTIONS. Each time you phone from Australia to Zambia, you either your money get deducted or get a pre recorded message saying, “Hallo, okay hold on” wheresoever you phone in Zambia, but you can not be connected.

I miss the old ZAMTEL which had good services and easily connected to the rest of ZAMBIA! !!!!!!

Ba Zamtel I was at one outlet and I was dissapointed because the phones are not even available. Worse still you could not even configure internet on my phone. Give us proper deals. For now zamtel mobile is just sms en calls. No need for a smart or Iphone. Ma rubbish.

Landline your observation is interesting to say the least. I don’t know if am the dull one here but i think Mobile Phone Internet and the Landline don’t work the same. Besides its good practice to pick up the phone when someone is calling. I just called and no one is picking. HATER!

COPPER PRICE did you know that when you don’t pay bills you are disconnected? I thought i should just let you know.
