ArmInfo. VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC ("MTS"
– NYSE: MBT), announces the launch of Top-up, a system of recharging
prepaid account. With this system, VivaCell-MTS prepaid subscribers,
who have run out of airtime, will be able to recharge their account
directly from an authorized point of sale with the amount they wish,
starting 50 AMD.
Top-up is an innovative, fast, simple and convenient method for
recharging.
For replenishing his prepaid account, subscriber just has to visit one
of the nearby authorized points of sale, indicate how much airtime he
wants to recharge and pay with cash for the airtime. After that the POS
employee immediately adds the corresponding airtime to subscriber’s
account directly from his mobile phone. The subscriber receives a
notification SMS message on his mobile phone informing him that his
prepaid account was replenished.
– Minimum possible balance to recharge is AMD 50 – Maximum possible
balance of the prepaid card is AMD 90000
The new system of recharge is an addition to other methods of
replenishing airtime account already made available to VivaCell-MTS’
subscribers through online recharge, electronic payment machines,
and ATMs. The Top-up system enables the dealers to store and make a
mobile-to-mobile transfer of airtime (received from VivaCell-MTS)
to a special account of various sub-dealers/POS who may later on
directly recharge VivaCell-MTS subscribers with the same principle.
