This includes, recharge cards, fixed wireless and mobile terminals.

Highlighting the company’s motive for the programme, he said “Starcomms wants to achieve three things; to solidify its relationship with its dealers, to anchor the company’s trust and loyalty to dealers in terms of long term back-ended support as well as continue demonstration to its customers, employees and dealers alike that Starcomms is committed to rewarding excellence which could only come through hard work”.
