Instead of having its own spectrum or network infrastructure, ITelecom is powered by Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group. It is the first mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service in the local market.
In the initial stage, ITelecom will offer products and services to workers in industrial zones in nine provinces and cities: Hanoi, Thai Nguyen, Vinh Phuc, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Binh Duong, HCMC, Long An and Dong Nai. In addition, multiple mobile packages will be provided for different groups of users.
Moreover, the firm will connect with other mobile networks that have spare capacity to bring convenience and the best connection quality to users at reasonable prices.
“ITelecom is ready to team up with all the mobile carriers that own network infrastructure and with other technology partners to satisfy customers and help them experience the best services,” Luu Anh Son, deputy general director of the firm, said.
Indochina Telecom has launched a transaction office to provide the network service at B020, The Manor, Me Tri Street, Hanoi City, Son said, adding that the firm will establish other transaction offices in HCMC and provinces and cities across the nation in the coming period.
Son, however, pointed out that the firm will focus on expanding the distribution channels of its products and services to customers through outlets and authorized dealerships nationwide rather than expanding the transaction office network.
The launch of the MVNO service will help the firm save investment costs, Nha explained, adding that in the global market, MVNO services have become popular, especially Google FI.
Apart from this, Indochina Telecom has designed a package, called MAY, tailored to workers and laborers. For VND77,000 per month, MAY subscribers enjoy up to 3GB of free data per day and free phone calls and text messages on the internal mobile networks of ITelecom and VinaPhone.
