1st Operator’s roaming link with 9,000 villages – by late June

Hamraah-e Avval roaming link with the rural GSM network by late June.
Abbas Lotfian, in conversation with MOBNA, said the link will be one-way and only Hamraah-e Avval subscribers can use their mobile phone in GSM networks which were not hitherto covered by the MTC network.
He indicated that under the new plan the rural network will be linked to the Hamraah-e Avval network, and added with the establishment of WLL roaming the area covered by MTC will be extended.
According to him, under the new plan 9,000 villages across the country will be covered by MTC.
He said the project was tested during Norouz with Geelan Province’s WLL network and Hamraah-e Avval 0912 codes responded satisfactorily.
The rural WLL system (wireless village telephone) in installed in areas where landline link is not possible and its tariff is the same as that of landline phone.
