`ALO’ INSTEAD OF `EASY’

Today if someone calls you asking his own telephone number do not be
surprised.

`Viva Cell’, a.k.a. `K Telecom’ has started the sale of its `Alo’ cards in
different parts of the city. Buying the card the subscribers do not know
their telephone number and they can find it out only phoning someone.

In the central office of the company in Argishti 4/1 there was a crowd of
people buying cards. According to the workers, in the morning there were
still more people.

We met Laura Avetisyan from Yerevan buying the card and then trying to call
someone. At that moment the Armentel connection was very bad and the
subscribers were out of the coverage. According to her, she has been waiting
for the possibility to buy an Easy card for two years.

By the way, from now on there are new problems fro the RA citizens. The
costs of cell phones have risen abruptly in the market. If previously a used
phone could be brought for even $20, now they cost 2-3 times more.
