Zain Group, the leading telecommunications mobile operator servicing over 50 million customers in 22 countries across the Middle East and
Africa, has rebranded its entire African operations from Celtel to Zain. The move coincides with the linking of the world's first borderless mobile service 'One Network' across two continents. 14 country operations across Africa will immediately rebrand to Zain, namely:
Burkina Faso,
Chad, the
Republic of
Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo,
Gabon,
Kenya,
Madagascar,
Malawi,
Niger,
Nigeria,
Sierra Leone,
Tanzania,
Uganda and
Zambia. Zain will launch its mobile operation in
Ghana later in 2008. To mark the launch of its new colourful identity across Africa, Zain also announced today the creation of the world's first cross-continental borderless network, extending and linking its 'One Network' service between Africa and the
Middle East. The service will be available to 500 million people stretching from the west coast of Africa to the Middle East, covering an area larger than the
United States of America. One Network allows Zain customers' affordable cross-border communications, helping friends and families stay connected.
