A word from the CEO

Funded in 1999, Africell is a GSM 900 mobile communication operator in Burundi with the core of mission of offering high quality wireless communications to the different classes of Burundians including businessmen/women, professionals, organisations, etc. To provide convenient and quality mobile communications one need to possess a big network. That is why our network Safaris is built on equipments supplied by the very know firm Alcatel to provide you with the best of our services. In order to diversify and offer more reliable services that can touch and change the lives of Burundians, we entered into a partnership with one of the biggest GSM operator in Africa "Mauritius Telecom".

   
To penetrate an occupied market was not an easy task for Africell. However with the commitment of our dedicated personnel we can now confirm that Africell has achieved the unexpected. Within just four years of operations and with only few towns covered (Bujumbura, Gitega, Ngozi, Bujumbura Rural, Muranvya, Mwaro and Kayanza centre town) more than 20,000 people approximately have opted for our network Safaris. We take this opportunity to notify you that the countrywide network extension is ongoing to other remaining provinces not yet covered.

In a bid to maintain our position as word-class mobile communication provider, we believe that we should constantly introduce new and innovative value added services that can match your ever-challenging business life and make it less of hassle. These services include among others mobile internet, roaming facilities, international text messaging (SMS), music download through our web site or SMS via Africell web site, MMS (multimedia messaging services) services, etc.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge your contribution as an Africell subscriber, dealer, supplier and partner, we appreciate your continued support and we shall continue to make our services more enjoyable for you to use.
