Hutch is excited to be entering into an exclusive partnership with Nimbuzz, a widely-used social messaging app, effective 17 June 2013.
To mark this strategic business tie up, Hutch will enable all its subscribers to use the Nimbuzz app free of data charges for six months until 17 December 2013.
Nimbuzz is a chat application which is popular amongst friends and their regular contacts that allows them to communicate super fast through any of their IM Accounts such as Yahoo, Gtalk, or Facebook.
Hutch CEO Thirukumar Nadarasa stated: “Our exclusive partnership with Nimbuzz is another great value addition in our recent series of tie-ups with some of the top local and international Application developers. These tie ups has enabled Hutch to fulfil diversified communication needs of various segments throughout the country.”
“The company is committed to creating the highest value offering for the end user and we believe that these initiatives have enabled the brand to deliver our promises. We are delighted to be a part of the exclusive Nimbuzz partnership that would revolutionise mobile messaging in Sri Lanka, making communication more affordable and convenient,” he added.
Vikas Saxena, CEO of Nimbuzz, commented: “We at Nimbuzz are extremely excited about our exclusive partnership in Sri Lanka with Hutch. We strongly believe that the future of the mobile communication space is going to be led by close collaboration with others in the eco-system including telcos. I am confident that this partnership will help Hutch further strengthen its foothold in the country as Nimbuzz provides the best experience to the connected generation.”
Adding to this great news is the compatibility of the app which can be downloaded not only in 3G handsets and smartphones but also on the more widely used 2G handsets in the country, allowing everyone to access and experience advanced mobile messaging application.
With the launch of its 3G services last year, Hutch has been exhibiting a steady growth of loyal 3G subscribers who are delighted with the quality of broadband data experience offered.
