Information About

Grameenphone




Grameen Telecom facilitates a 'Village Phone' program, providing a mobile phone to villages without access to fixed land lines. This mobile phone is then cared for by a woman in the village, who charges for the use of the phone and pays a proportion back to Grameen Phone. According to the company, women have been chosen because they have turned out to be more reliable than the men.

As of April 2006 , Grameen Phone is the largest mobile phone company in Bangladesh , with 6.4 million subscribers.

Recently, it has initiated EDGE connectivity service for its subscribers.
