    Weather hell Malawi! The complaint Airtel customers never make

    Any port in a storm

    Airtel customers can now easily call mobile numbers from other networks in Malawi through an already popular voice bundle portfolio, Chezani, which has been revamped by adding three new bundles. Better communications will be vital to Malawi as it is faces a new climate crisis with the dry season approaching. This comes in the wake of the deaths and destruction caused by Cyclone Freddy. Whilst Liwonde National Park (pictured) was mostly spared from the devastating effects of Cyclone Freddy, the tourist’s dollar is vital to Malawi’s economy and Airtel Malawi is anxious to do its bit for the nation, creating a comms infrastructure that can orchestrate a faster response and save lives.

    Airtel Malawi (AM) has announced that the three voice system bundles will create seamless inter-operator comms: Chezani Daily, Chezani Weekly and Chezani Monthly. According to Duncan Mlanjira, writing in the business section of the All Africa news site, AM marketing director Thokozani Kamkondo-Sande said the three Chezani bundles is on promotional offer for 90 days, which should cover the tourist season. From Tuesday March 28 until June 26 users can click on the ‘Airtel to all networks’ option and not worry about a clunky change-over, which is vital in a sandstorm.

    “With the world becoming more connected than ever, it’s essential for friends, family, and colleagues to always stay in touch regardless of the network that they are using,” said Kamkondo-Sande. “And that is why we have created these new Chezani bundles to keep Malawians connected anytime, anywhere. The new bundles were tailored for anyone who wants to make a few quick calls or chat for hours on end.”

    With an HQ in Lilongwe, the Malawian division of multinational Airtel offers 4G/LTE, 2G and 3G wireless networks and high speed fixed broadband internet services. The multinational also offers the largest mobile commerce service in the country through Airtel Money which was launched in Malawi in February 2011. Airtel Africa is present 14 countries across Africa, primarily in East Africa and Central and West Africa.
