According to the telco’s CEO Mr. Wim Vanhelleputte, Muslims will benefit more from the new overnight offer due to their Ramadan fasting culture as he said.
“During this period, we know that our Muslim brothers and sisters would like to stay in touch as they conduct prayers but cannot congregate. We are therefore launching the MTNite Calls promotional offer that will allow them to share in prayer particularly at night during Ramadhan,” Vanhelleputte said.
