Nigeria's leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Company, MTN Business Nigeria, has launched a service called MTN Smart Number.
The MTN Smart Number, is designed to help Small and Medium Enterprises(SME) achieve differentiation and competitive advantage.
According to allAfrica, the MTN Smart Number service provides businesses with easy-to-remember phone numbers made up of digits and alphabets that uniquely identify the name of the organisation, business or product.
MTN Smart Numbers come in two categories; the Toll Free (0800) and Non-Toll Free numbers (0700). Toll Free numbers provide an option where the caller calls a business for free and the receiver pays while the Non-Toll Free option requires the caller to make calls at the prevailing network tariff. Both non-toll free numbers and toll-free numbers must consist of a minimum of seven and a maximum of twelve letters (alphabets) after the initial 0700 or 0800
Speaking on the Smart number introduction, Babatunde Osho, MTN's Chief Enterprise Solutions Officer,said, "This service underpins the focus of MTN Business to deliver cutting-edge technology solutions that will make Nigerian businesses more productive and ultimately more profitable. What makes MTN Smart Number even more compelling is the fact that organisations can link all their existing phone lines, fixed or mobile to the MTN Smart Number. This means businesses can market just one number and have all their customers and prospects reach them".
