ISLAMABAD: Telenor following the footsteps of Ufone and Zong has launched its own cheap 3G smartphones.
Anything remotely affordable gets cleared out of stock in no time and this is where Telenor is tapping with the launch of its two 3G enabled low-end phones.
So the interest of telcos in handset business makes sense. They already have a market presence, brand recognition and widely available sales channels including customer care centers and franchises, an area where phone manufacturers struggle.
The two handsets from Telenor will be available from 15th April 2015 on all Telenor Sales & Service Centers and franchises as well as in selected mobile shops across Pakistan.
Both handsets were manufactured in China. The one traditional looking 3G smartphone price: Rs 3,700 to Rs 3,900. It has a front camera and also run social media apps (Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp).
On the other hand the second which is a touch screen smartphone cost at Rs 6,000 to 6,700 which is loaded with Telenor Music, Telenor Appstore, Viber, Skype and Social Media Apps./
Telenor Pakistan brings 18 months warranty for its customers, which is the first time in Pakistan that any handset comes with an extended warranty.
Telenor Pakistan’s customers can avail a balance of Rs 600 and 3GB data over the first six months with these handsets.
