Standard Bank’s mobile virtual network operator has partnered with MTN for network services.
Standard Bank Mobile, which is one of South Africa’s longer-running MVNO s, said in a statement on Wednesday that it is also changing its name – to Standard Bank Connect – as part of a “new strategic direction”.
As part of this shift, it is introducing a new set of data and voice packages. Standard Bank had previously partnered with Cell C for MVNO services. MVNOs like Standard Bank’s don’t build their own network infrastructure, partnering instead with network operators and other “MVNO enablement” providers to offer telecommunications services to their clients.
Under its new branding, Standard Bank Connect will offer two main types of connectivity packages: the Connected Circle and the Connected Gigs plans. “The Connected Circle plans cater to customers seeking both voice and data connectivity with options like Connected Circle Starter, Lite, Plus and Pro. These plans provide access to unlimited calls to selected numbers within one’s community and include inclusive data, promoting flexibility and changing the way we connect,” it said.“For data-centric customers, the Connected Gigs plans offer high-value data bundles at competitive prices.
Qualifying Connected Circle and Connected Gigs plans also include monthly discounts on tech accessories of up to 50% with Standard Bank’s partnership with Dress Your Tech.All plans are monthly. However, customers can choose to commit to their plan for three, six or 12 months for added incentives.For a limited time, customers can take up any plan for R1 and enjoy the full inclusive value of their plans till the first billing date.
