MTN Finally Acquires Visafone by shayou: 2:49am On Jan 07, 2016
MTN, Africa’s leading mobile phone operator, has finally sealed the deal to acquire Visafone, the only surviving Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) operator in Nigeria, owned by the banking magnate, Mr. Jim Ovia.

The acquisition of Visafone, the only surviving CDMA operator in Nigeria, by MTN, a GSM operator, marks the final death of CDMA operations in Africa’s largest economy.

Though, MTN is yet to make official announcement of the acquisition, but inside sources confirmed the development to Daily Trust reporter.

Contrary to the initial report about the deal that MTN is not taking along the purchase of the CDMA company with its liabilities, sources said the telecoms giant has acquired the staggering Visafone with all its properties, including its spectrum and liabilities.

Really?

By being a stakeholder in visafone I think am entitled to be chairman of this occasion.
I would be back for further comments.

Meanwhile lalasticlacla you know how's its done.

Yes, visaphone had a good vision and structure but they lacked expansion as well as competent staff and strategists.

They had good call plans and tariffs. Why I stopped using them was not only that I had to travel down sometimes to their office to recharge. I didn't mind but finally my phone got spoilt. Imagine they didn't have technicians to repair it and demanded I give them money to transport it outside my state. Phone I bought cheaply then, about to cost me half of the price in repairs.
I painfully left their office and have not looked back since then, thanks to Etisalat.

Am I first to comment?!

Oga Seun credit me ooh.

Re: MTN Finally Acquires Visafone by encryptjay(m): 10:42am On Jan 07, 2016
So MTN gave the final Blow?
Have they paid their fine?
All these CDMDA stuff have restrictions and it contributed to their fall.
Switching phones/sim restriction.
Abegi, make them disappear.
