The company is in partnership with communication giant MTN Ghana to help roll out the Smart Star Phone Services.

The Acting Chief Marketing Officer of MTN, Mrs Amerley Ampofo said the ‘Star Phone Service’ was relevant in this digital age and must be embraced by all.

“One of the problems we identified in the market is the issue of dealing with several phone numbers or digits when we need to reach businesses or organizations. Toll-free numbers are usually very long and not easy to memorize. As it is often the case, whilst on your phone with a caller and there is the need to request for a number, the next thing will be for you to look for a place to write or store the number. To solve this problem and make it much easier to reach organizations, Fast Food joints and many more, MTN in partnership with One Smart Star Ghana Limited is happy to introduce onto the market, the Star Phone Service.”

Delivering the keynote address, Deputy Communications Minister, Vincent Odotei Sowah said this innovation would help the digitization agenda of the government.
