MTN in collaboration with Microsoft is planning to deliver Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices for their customers in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. A test-try will be launched in South Africa in November and by December users in Nigeria and Ghana will also experience the product.



Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 provide users with a unified experience across the PC, phone and tablet.

According to Brett Goschen, CEO, MTN Nigeria, the launch of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices in MTN markets essential to offer customers a rich and dynamic digital services user experience.

"MTN is particularly excited about the alliance with Microsoft as it ties in perfectly with our customer-centricity approach. Our customers have become dynamic consumers of digital services and want immediacy. Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 allow us to offer them just that," he said.
