SMART freedom launches one hour M2M free communication

Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel recently launched the SMART Freedom Hourly Option in response to the huge popularity it has experienced for its forerunners - namely SMART Freedom Weekly and Daily options, which were launched in June this year.

This is an extension of the popular SMART Freedom suite of features which were introduced for the first time in Sri Lanka - the concept of calling free within the network for pre paid subscribers.

The launch is set to create an impact in the local mobile telecommunications arena at a time the market is moving towards smaller units of measurements - from per minute to per second billing. Mobitel is determined to focus on a single dimension in the competition by providing subscribers with the lowest call charged rather than smaller units of measurements.

The option will be made available to all SMART pre paid users and they can activate this feature by dialling 141 and keying in 9 and then following the prompts.

The option is only available as immediate activation.

Upon activation, the subscribers will enjoy up to 60 minutes of video calls and up to 60 SMSs all within the Mobitel network for an hour immediately following activation irrespective of the time of activation.

CEO, Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel, Suren J. Amarasekera said, "In many of our interactions with our subscribers we have found that what they value most is a communications package which allows them to focus on communication rather than the time spent".
