Zain Malawi has received an International Mobile Telecommunication’s third generation (3G) license which the company applied for in 2006.
Zain Malawi Marketing Director Elwin Kadango said in the capital Lilongwe that the company would now start using 3G data which would improve mobile services to its customers by providing them with modern technologies.
“Using the latest international mobile telecommunications popularly known as 3G, users of Zain services can surf the internet and other services at a cheaper cost and faster speed,” he said.
Currently, he said, other communication providers in the country are using 2.5G which is the oldest, with lower speed and higher costs.
He added that with the modern service, the company was planning to connect the country’s schools and hospitals.
As a social corporate partner, these are the key areas (education and health) the company would like to assist government in order to improve its delivery service, he said.
