The number of DhiMobile GSM customers has reached 2000 in only the 3rd day since the commercial launch of the service.

The service was commercially launched on 21st November 1999. This commercial launch of the DhiMobile GSM service follows the soft launch of GSM service to former AMPS customers on the 24th October.

To mark the commercial launch of the GSM service Dhiraagu held a Live Music Show at the Male' South West Harbour. Amazon Jade, Freeze and local dance group Comets performed live at the show.

The new DhiMobile GSM system has already proved to be far better than the old AMPS system, in terms of voice quality, coverage and connection speed. It already offers GSM customers two new services free-of-charge, which were not available on the old AMPS system: Call forwarding and Call waiting. Additional services are planned in the near future.

The GSM Project, which cost a total of Rf 90 million, started in early 1999.

Note:

From 15th January , the low economy rate will start at 10pm every day. i.e. 2 hours earlier than the current off- peak start time
