The Tonga Communications Corporation launched its new Post Paid Mobile service, yesterday February 17, at the International Dateline Hotel, offered through its UCall mobile system.
The UCall Post Paid service is the first to be introduced in Tonga and it is offered alongside UCall...s existing pre-paid service.
Michael Skinner, the General Manager for Tonga Communications Corporation said that the main benefit of this new mobile service is that it enables subscribers to make calls and pay for it when they receive their monthly bills. "This means calls are never interrupted because of insufficient credit and the customer is spared the inconvenience of purchasing recharge cards."
The Post Paid mobile service account, however, must be applied for and requires a deposit. The new service is available now only in Tongatapu but will be introduced later in the outer islands of Vava...u, Ha...apai and ...Eua.
Tonga Communications Corporation also plans to introduce this year an International Roaming system, which will allow subscribers to call and receive phone calls through their Ucall mobile from Tonga if they are in New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
