Orange slashes prices on devices ahead of Festive season

Integrated telecommunications services provider Telkom Kenya has slashed the cost of devices and introduced bonus offers on its services.

Announcing the launch of the Christmas offers, CEO Mickael Ghossein said the company has reduced the cost of a wide range of its devices by up to 40 per cent, in a move aimed at rewarding loyal customers and attracting new ones during this period.

“Despite the rising rates of inflation and cost of living, we have had a relatively good year with over 100 per cent increase in our subscriber base - as a result of implementing our growth strategy effectively. It is only fair that we share our success by rewarding our customers,” he said.

Ghossein added that customers who buy middle and high end phones will get a reward of 1 GB worth of data, to be distributed evenly over a five month period while the purchase of entry level handsets will be bundled with talk time valued at Sh200, over a similar period.

He said customers shall enjoy reliable and faster internet speeds, through Orange's Internet Everywhere 21 Mbps (3G) modem at a 40 per cent discount that will see the device retail for Sh1,799.

Other data offers include the D-Link wireless router with modem retailing for Sh6,690 down from Sh7,890, while small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) can purchase the newly launched Orange Flybox retailing at KSh. 16,999, complete with a free fixed telephone set.

The Christmas promotion is available at Orange shops and the company’s preferred partners countrywide. The two month promotion runs from 4th November 2011 to 4th January 2012.
