C-CONNECT, South Africa’s newest virtual mobile network operator (MVNO), has launched nationwide, to bring more choice and competition to South African mobile subscribers. With a commitment to providing cost-effective mobile services that don’t compromise on quality, C-CONNECT aims to be the first and most rewarding choice for savvy prepaid subscribers.
The innovative prepaid, SIM-only brand leverages C-Cell’s robust network infrastructure and rewards people for something they already do, so that they can spend more on the things they really want. When subscriber’s top-up their prepaid Airtime or Data, they can earn 10% back in the form of Cha-Chings, the in-app currency, which they can use to buy things that enrich their life.
Cha-Chings can be exchanged for a wide variety of lifestyle products and services, including products such as prepaid electricity/water and data, tickets for events, and gaming vouchers. This reward system empowers customers to maximise their mobile spending while accessing a range of lifestyle products and services.
New subscribers can sign up on the C-CONNECT app or website to get a SIM delivered to their door or selected pickup point or collect one from an authorised distribution partner. They can complete the full RICA process online without needing to visit a store. Activating the Pocket to receive and spend Cha-Chings is as easy as registering on the website, downloading the C-CONNECT app or dialling *105#.
Customers can top up with Airtime or Data using the C-CONNECT app, online at c-connect.co.za, by dialling USSD (*105#) or buying a voucher at a partner store. They can also recharge with Ringas or Blu Voucher, a universal, single use, prepaid airtime voucher that allows subscribers to top-up their number. Data on the C-CONNECT app and Airtime on the USSD is zero-rated.
Says Richard Anderson, Chief Operating Officer at C-CONNECT: “With the South African consumer’s finances under immense pressure, we anticipate strong demand for our MVNO offering. We’re excited to connect consumers with rewards and businesses with new ways to make their customers happy.
“What sets us apart in a competitive market is that we offer people meaningful rewards for buying voice and data, an essential everyone needs. It’s the most rewarding connection for South African cellular subscribers with no fuss and no frills, just a straightforward and simple way to access a world of prepaid services with added benefits. With C-Connect, we’re not just offering connectivity; we’re giving our customers the power to see real rewards from their mobile usage.”
